Dangerous cancer-causing nasal tanning sprays are taking over TikTok.


Richard Knight, The Chartered Trading Standards Institute’s Lead Officer for Cosmetics and Beauty, joins us to explain everything you need to know.


The active ingredient, Melanotan2, originally developed as a drug for erectile dysfunction, is neither an authorised medicine in the UK nor regulated by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and it does not fall under the definition of a cosmetic product.


Also in this episode:

  • Usutu virus: keep a lookout for UK blackbirds
  • Scientists crack the code behind the mystery of why we have ginger cats
  • To mark the 50th anniversary of 'Jaws', why is Lewis Pugh swimming the 60-mile circumference of Martha’s Vineyard?
  • 8-year-old boy discovers a nearly 200-year-old ship with his metal detector
