Yes, self tanning products are universally accepted as safe and effective by both the FDA and EMA (European Medicines Agency).  DHA, the main ingredient in all self tanners, has been approved for cosmetic use by the FDA since 1973 (a 40+ year track record!).  In addition, a number of prestigious and well-respected medical organizations recommend self tanners over sun and tanning bed exposure.  Some of these organizations include the American Academy of Dermatology, Mayo Clinic, Skin Cancer Foundation and the American Medical Association.  For any additional concerns, please consult your personal doctor or medical professional.
