Dear MagicTan Customers:

We wanted to take this opportunity to again thank you for choosing MagicTan as your sunless spray booth of choice. The recent increase in popularity of spray-on tanning has made sunless tanning one of the fastest growing sectors of the cosmetics industry. With this increase in popularity, proportionally there has been an increase in questions regarding Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, the main self-tanning active ingredient used in the MagicTan solution, for spray-on booth applications.

The FDA issued a position letter in response to questions they were received regarding the use of DHA in the spray booth application.

The FDA issued a statement outlining the approved uses for DHA which was originally issued over 30 years ago. The FDA position letter in no way implies, suggests, states or otherwise indicates that DHA in any form is unsafe or dangerous, however, the position letter does clearly define and reiterate the approved exemption of DHA as a color additive for use to impart color to the skin. Because this original DHA exemption did not include DHA's use in or on the eyes, mucous membranes or for inhalation, the FDA in their response stated the following;

Taken from FDA Statement July, 2003:

"When using DHA-containing products as an all-over spray or mist in a commercial spray "tanning" booth, it may be difficult to avoid exposure in a manner for which DHA is not approved, including the area of the eyes, lips, or mucous membrane, or even internally.

Consequently, FDA advises asking the following questions when considering commercial facilities where DHA is applied by spraying or misting:

• Are consumers protected from exposure in the entire area of the eyes, in addition to the eyes themselves?
• Are consumers protected from exposure on the lips and all parts of the body covered by mucous membrane?
• Are consumers protected from internal exposure caused by inhaling or ingesting the product?

If the answer to any of these questions is "no," the consumer is not protected from the unapproved use of this color additive. Consumers should request measures to protect their eyes and mucous membranes and prevent inhalation."

As such, until such time that the exempt uses for DHA changes or the FDA position changes, we feel it important that each of you discuss with your employees and customers the position the FDA has taken. Enclosed under cover of this letter please find samples of each of the protective measures we are recommending you make available to your customers. Each of these items is available for purchase from your MagicTan distributor.

Recommended Eye Protection: Disposable eye protection known as Winkies, they are inexpensive, and effective. Available in boxes of 250.

Recommended Lip Protection: Any coating of a Lip Balm such as Vaseline, or similar product will work. We are in development of a MagicTan SPF lip balm, however until such time it is ready, any balm product will work.

Recommended Inhalation protection: A nose filter can be used to protect the mucous membrane of the nasal passages as well as providing inhalation protection. The nose filters supplied are reusable by the consumer, and a small amount of cotton should be rolled between the index finger and thumb and inserted in each filter before use. Available in sets of 100. Other Mucous Membranes: The more personal mucous membranes, including the genitalia and anus, can be protected with disposable undergarments. The samples enclosed are one size fits most, unisex, and are available in packages of 12.

Over the past year MagicTan has commissioned independent laboratory testing of our solution. The results of these studies, which included an Acute Inhalation Toxicity, Eye Irritation, Repeat Insult Dermal Irritation, and airborne particle size determination, reinforced our position of the safety of the MagicTan experience. With over established 300 locations and ½ million sessions of MagicTan in places around the globe, rest assured that consumer safety and satisfaction is our first priority.

Very Truly Yours,
