Nasal tanning sprays that contain the unregulated synthetic hormone melanotan 2 are emerging as a significant health threat, according to trading standards officers. With rising demand driven by social media influencers, these products pose risks such as nausea, high blood pressure, and a heightened risk of melanoma skin cancer. The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) warns against the unregulated nature of these sprays, which are marketed attractively to young consumers. The self-tanning market's projected growth further elevates concerns about the accessibility and consumption of these dangerous products.
The sprays contain melanotan 2, a synthetic hormone not approved for use in the UK, raising alarms for health risks including melanoma skin cancer.
Nasal tanning sprays are marketed in flavors like peach and bubble gum, making them appealing to young consumers, despite their severe health risks.
