Thanks for the catch on the typo, and we are working on a download link...our new site is set to launch soon with more bells and whistles! Sounds like you got it right, best to stay away. You may enjoy this link: http://www.jonbarron.org/natural-health/tanning-facts-dangers-of-spray-t...
Haven't had the chance to listen to the audio yet (can we download to portable mp3 player and how?), so I wish this synopsys were a bit clearer... 1) I think the correct spelling is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). 2) *** Does dihydroxyacetone (DHA) pose a cancer risk even in standard self-tanners (e.g. creams and gels)? *** My previous info was that it was not a great ingredient in that it basically works on the same process as oxidation (think rusting of apple slices when exposed to the air for a while). I thought this would extend to aging the skin somehow but cancer risk is a step further... EWG Skin Deep's database gives it a rating of 1-4 depending on usage, the data is scant but it does list some research pointing to mutagenic effect on DNA (not just bacterial DNA but also human DNA), which I believe is the same as potentially carcinogenic in humans. I guess I will adopt the gothic look then!
