Re:Couple of things
The real truth about sunbusters folks is that it is a combination of oils and a dye. If you dont mind them dying your skin brown go for it but maybe ask your doctor what they think , there is no label of ingriedients on these pumps they use in fact they resemble the same sprayers that you spray weeds with . If you listen to the Sunbuster crews themselves they are not even sure whats in the packs they are spraying you with .Yes you turn brown but so does your clothing if you try and wear anything even hours after being sprayed.A woman at our hotel developed a very bad skin rash after being sprayed so I for one would definitly ask for what the ingriedients are and check with your doctor before spraying your skin with unknown chemicals.I am willing to bet if you said to your doctor \" Hey I am thinking of letting someone spary me with a combination of oils and dyes from a herbicde spray pack , what do you think doc?\" I am willing to bet you know the answer.
I for one will stick with FDA aproved tanning lotions and sun blockers , remeber your skin is an living brething thing why push the cancer risk ?

to each their own Rioman... that is why this is a bulletin board and free speach is allowed... as for us we have never had a problem with Martin and the Sunbuster, and we have never had a problem with them or their products... i feel bad that a person at your resort had a problem and reaction to them.... as for the sprayers, my company sells them, and if you get is fress off the shelf then what... they are clean and rinsed from the factory.... oh well....

have a great day...
Re:Couple of things
True enough however the sprayers are not new they look very old so who knows what else has been in them and a lack of listed ingriedients should make someone question the spray they apply . We also were told that if this product was applied not to wear any clothing for a couple of hours, someone we know did and was left with a rather large brown stain , seems like a dye but if your satisfied more power to ya!

My wife Kay swears by the sunbusters. She is not really too fair skinned but is of Irish decent so the sun will turn her rather red without the help of Martin and his crew. No rashes and no stains, at least with her. Not without mentioning, the massage you get may be worth half the price.
