Complete transparency, in plain English. Every ingredient inside the formula, and why we chose it.
The natural color. A plant-derived sugar that develops slowly with your skin, never against it — paired with a botanical undertone designed to read warm-bronze, never orange.
The active that gives self tan its color. Plant-derived (from sugar beets and sugar cane), it reacts with the outermost layer of skin to develop a sun-kissed tone over six hours.
Works alongside DHA to deepen and warm the developed color. A naturally fermented sugar that helps the tan read richer and more dimensional, never flat.
A natural pigment that lends a true, warm undertone to the color. Helps balance the formula away from yellow-orange and toward a cleaner, sun-kissed finish.
The reason our tan reads cool-bronze instead of orange. A naturally violet-toned dye that neutralizes warm undertones during develop, so the finished color looks like real sun, never artificial.
An antioxidant-rich elderberry derivative. Adds depth to the violet base and protects skin from environmental stress while the tan develops.
A self tan should leave skin softer, not stripped. This is the layer of humectants and butters that hydrates as the color develops.
Holds up to 1000× its weight in water. Plumps skin and helps the tan develop evenly, even on naturally drier zones like elbows and knees.
A gentle humectant that draws moisture into the skin. Keeps the formula soft and the finish dewy, never tight or chalky.
A sugar-based, plant-fermented hydrator. Boosts moisture and helps active ingredients absorb more evenly into skin.
Cooling, calming, deeply hydrating. Soothes freshly exfoliated skin and helps prevent the tightness some self tans leave behind.
A featherweight oil that mimics skin's own sebum. Locks moisture in without clogging pores — leaves skin satin, never greasy.
Cold-pressed, rich in fatty acids. Conditions and softens, and adds a luxurious melt-in feel to the mousse.
A traditional African butter rich in vitamins A and E. Nourishes, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps tan last longer by preventing flaking.
Closest to skin's natural sebum of any plant oil. Hydrates without weight and helps the tan glide on without streaking.
The ingredients you'd expect from a serum, dosed into a self tan. These do the long-term work — barrier support, brightness, evenness, glow.
Lipids that live naturally between your skin cells. Reinforce the moisture barrier, lock hydration in, and help your tan look smooth, not flaky.
The most-researched skincare active for evenness. Calms redness, refines texture, and supports a more uniform tone — pre and post tan.
Pro-vitamin B5. Deeply hydrating and anti-inflammatory. Soothes skin during the develop window so you wake up calm, not reactive.
Antioxidant protection. Defends skin against free-radical damage and helps preserve color, so your tan stays truer for longer.
A stable form of vitamin C. Brightens, supports collagen, and pairs with vitamin E for amplified antioxidant defense.
The "sunshine vitamin," in topical form. Supports skin renewal and gives the formula its sun-borrowed feel without UV exposure.
Hand-picked plant extracts that protect, calm, and visibly brighten — chosen for what they do, not how they sound.
A potent antioxidant. Helps neutralize the free radicals that dull skin and shorten a tan's life.
Rich in polyphenols. Calms redness and adds another layer of antioxidant protection, especially helpful post-shower.
Centuries-old skin-calmer. Gently soothes irritation and helps even out post-tan redness on sensitive skin.
Naturally caffeinated. Tightens, brightens, and helps skin look firmer and more awake — paired beautifully with a fresh tan.
No biscuit smell — ever. Our fragrance is built from the ingredient up, designed to mask DHA at the source and read like a vacation.
Cold-pressed coconut oil infused with vanilla. Conditions skin and gives the mousse its signature sun-warmed, vacation-grade scent.
A water-based formula needs preservatives to stay safe and stable. We use a modern, skin-friendly system — paraben-free, sulfate-free, and tested for sensitive skin.
The industry-standard alternative to parabens. Keeps the formula safe from bacteria and yeast at very low concentrations.
A glycerin-derived skin conditioner that boosts the strength of phenoxyethanol — meaning we can use less of both.
