Glow 2 Show is specifically designed to be used safely with children. We recommend, however, that you don’t use it on someone’s face or if they have sensitive skin.
In the unlikely event that the skin is irritated, wash it immediately with soap and water. If it gets into someone’s eye then use an eye-flush to clean it.
If using Glow 2 Show on a new type of surface, we recommend testing it in a hidden location to ensure it does not stain.
These comments are for general information and do not constitute medical advice. If you have concerns about the dangers of exposure to UV light seek advice from a health professional.
Generally speaking, the amount of UV light emitted from a UV torch is about a 30th of what you would find outdoors on a sunny day so the potential for harm is very minor.
That said, general precautions about limiting exposure to UV light are always a good idea.
Most importantly, never allow students to look directly into the torch. UV light is invisible so it doesn’t make you squint and look away so it’s possible to receive a large amount of light without knowing. Young children should be especially well supervised.
