Injectable Sun Tan Products are not Cosmetics

CAUTION: Any ‘treatment ‘ taken by mouth or injected into the skin is NOT a cosmetic product.

Consumers may be tempted to try tablets or injectable products for sale on the internet that offer a tan.

These products are not cosmetic products and are therefore not within the arena of the CTFA, however, the public must know that they are putting themselves at risk by using oral or injectable items.
