These rogue sellers are marketing the unregulated products with Barbie-inspired designs, claiming them to be 'special offers' or 'limited-time deals,' and selling them for up to £25 per 20mg bottle. Despite their illegal status, these products can be easily ordered online and delivered by next-day delivery.

Amidst a surge in melanoma cases, experts predict a 50% increase in cases over the next two decades. Investigative journalists from The Mirror ordered these illegal tanning sprays from three TikTok sellers, whose accounts have since been suspended by the platform. The products arrived in sparkly packaging with Barbie doll images and logos from the movie featuring Margot Robbie.

Dermatologists warned that because the sprays are being 'distributed illegally' and not monitored by 'stringent medical regulations', they pose serious health risks. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, who are not associated with the products, are pictured in the Barbie film

Gillian Nuttall from Melanoma UK expressed concerns about these sellers targeting young users on TikTok and leveraging the success of a movie to promote illegal and untested products. Dermatologist Dr. Emma Wedgeworth urged consumers to avoid these dangerous products due to their unregulated nature, posing serious health risks.
