We are in the business of providing cosmetic tans. However, tanning lamps that emit some UVB light - and most of them do - have been shown by peer-reviewed research to stimulate vitamin D production in the skin and elevate blood levels of vitamin D in the body.

While it is not necessary to develop a tan to produce sufficient amounts of vitamin D, SUN EXPOSURE IS THE BODY'S NATURAL WAY TO PRODUCE VITAMIN D. The indoor tanning industry believes that the cosmetic and vitamin D-related benefits of non-burning exposure to ultraviolet light in appropriate moderation outweigh the easily manageable risks associated with overexposure and sunburn.
