Dear TanningBeds.org,

The owner of my tanning salon informed me that my lotion is not good for her beds. It is Ultimate’s Sweet Deception. I really find that hard to believe, the ingredients are found in lots of other lotions and I can’t imagine Ultimate making a tanning bed lotion that would ruin the acrylics. Of course, she doesn’t sell the brand. Does Hemp seed oil and jojoba oil really ruin them?

Thanks,
Vickie

Dear Vickie,

No, those ingredients will not damage acrylics. Baby oil (aka: mineral oil) can, and some other oils (such as olive oil) are impossible to clean up. Other combos like olive oil and iodine are popular with weight lifters and can damage acrylics. Yours does not fit this catagory.

I researched the lotion you named and found it to be perfectly acceptible for use in tanning beds. As a matter of fact, it is made ONLY to use in tanning beds. Why your salon owner will not let you use it is a mystery, unless she just wants you to buy lotion from her only. I can’t say this for sure, but I would hope she is not so unethical as to do this. If she is, I would say it is a good time to switch to another salon. She has every right to prevent unwanted ingredients on her beds, but this lotion is perfectly fine.
