Spray Tanning Innovators - Set To Change The Way We Apply Sunless Tanning Products At Home

Oct. 22, 2012 - PRLog -- Nobody can dispute the popularity of Sunless Tanning in all its forms. Be it Spray-On or Rub-On, the Sunless Tanning Market is a Multi-Billion Pound concern and still growing. Salons & Mobile Therapists offer professionally applied Spray Tans ranging anything from £10 to £35, yet this represents a small proportion of consumers that regularly use Sunless Tanning as part of their daily or weekly regime. Some of the major tanning brands, although supporting the Professional sector, dedicate a lot of their energy in supplying Sunless Retail through the High Street outlets. New brands pop up all the time, backed by Celebrity endorsements and all claiming to be the best. All agree however, that the best way in which to receive a Sunless Tan is by having a Spray-On-Tan using professional equipment for that fine atomisation of product onto the skin.

A number of products have made it to the High Street retailer claiming to offer Spray-On-Tans which can be self-applied in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Sounds great, until you use it for the first time and realise that only after a couple of applications, it’s more hassle than is worth it with the ‘not so good’ results, the mess and the fiddle-some cleaning procedures required for the application tool. Aerosols seem to offer a reasonable solution until a quarter-way through, the nozzle starts to block up and spit at you rather than apply the fine mist it promises. You may also find that a quarter of the product seems to remain within the can and near impossible to apply. They’re not cheap either, averaging out at £25 a can.  

Spray Cap from i-tan, another invention born from mind of Chris Nelson, Professional Spray Tanning Equipment Innovator and designer of the award winning Opus 4, a revolutionary new Automatic Spray Tan Booth, potentially changes the way in which we look at Home Tanning by offering a simple application tool that screws onto a small fluid bottle offering airbrush quality results. So much so, that Spray Cap will include a variation of the design to be used by Professionals as a low cost alternative to the more expensive application equipment. Spray Cap is essentially a miniature spray gun integrated within a Bottle Cap but without the troublesome mechanisms generally associated with spray guns.

Spray Cap is just a little larger than a standard bottle cap, used to seal 22mm necked fluid bottles. A variety of Sunless Tanning Solutions will be offered with the goal to make ALL tanning solutions available in bespoke 100ml bottles, sold as single or multi-packs. The interface between the Bottle Seal and Spray Cap is unique, the design of which is protected to prevent unauthorised distribution of the product, so as a consumer you know you’re getting the real deal.

Spray Cap is supplied as a kit comprising 1 x Spray Cap, 1 x Mini-Compressor, 1 x Connecting Hose, 1 x empty 50ml Flush Bottle and a 2-Pack of 100ml Solution Bottles in 2-Tone Natural & Dark. Other tanning brands will also be made available. Expected to retail at just under £100, with refill bottles at just £10 each, the Home Spray Cap Kit offers a serious solution to Home Tanners that want nothing but perfection. Not only that, Spray Cap is robust and easy to clean, requiring a quick rinse with warm water after application and without stripping the tool apart. Spray Cap is a device that can be relied upon to give flawless results again and again.

Simply remove the standard bottle cap from the 100ml bottle and replace with Spray Cap. Plug in the air hose from the Mini-Compressor and switch on. Although air will continuously flow from the Spray Cap, product will remain in the bottle until a small button trigger located on top of the cap is pressed, releasing a finely atomised and perfectly formed cone-shaped spray. Releasing the button trigger will stop the spray. No spitting of product, just an airbrush quality spray that leaves flawless results when evenly applied. Application videos will be made available on line to show you how to get the best results from Spray Cap using fine layer techniques, as used by leading professionals and taught by Chris Nelson himself.

Spray Cap is ideal for spraying faces, neck, décolletage, arms and legs for self-application. You may need to ask your partner to spray your back but with a little practice, even that is made easy with Spray Cap. The 100ml bottle size allows enough solution for 2 full body tans and what’s more, you don’t waste a drop.

On completion of your self-applied airbrush quality spray tan, simply remove the Spray Cap and fit the standard cap to your bottle to seal. Half fill the Flush Bottle with warm water, attach the Spray Cap and spray water into a tissue. When the spray is clear, your Spray Cap is clean.

Professional Spray Cap uses a higher flow compressor with a nozzle design that provides the traditional ‘flat spray’ as used by professionals for quicker and more substantial application. Remaining with the 100ml bottle concept, clients can choose from a selection of tanning brands and purchase the bottle from the professional salon or mobile therapist. They then pay a fee to have the spray tan professionally applied. On completion, the bottle remains with the client ready for a 2nd treatment, or if they invest in the Home Spray Cap Kit, can be used to top up their tan with self-application at home making it an ideal gift for friends and family.

Spray Cap is not just restricted to Sunless Tanning. Anything wet that requires atomisation of the product during application can be used, such as paint & lacquers for the Hobby Craft market, body paint, Henna tattoos and even Airbrush Makeup.
