An active tanning ingredient obtained through aerobic raspberry fermentation. It helps reduce dryness and supports a longer-lasting tan. Combined with DHA, it helps balance fast colour development with a gradual, natural-looking result.

3rd-generation SLMW Hyaluronic Acid

This HA Booster® is known for its intensive hydrating and anti-aging properties. It helps reduce the visible signs of dehydrated skin and the appearance of fine lines, leaving skin looking smoother and plumper. SLMW stands for Super Low Molecular Weight: smaller molecules are designed to work deeper within the skin to help maintain moisture levels and support a hydrated, even-looking complexion.

Shea Butter

A plant-based butter that provides intense nourishment and helps keep skin soft and supple. Rich in antioxidants, it supports the skin barrier against external stressors.

Vitamin E

A powerful antioxidant that helps support skin recovery and protect against free-radical damage.

Aloe Vera

Helps calm and soothe the skin, making it ideal as part of a nourishing tanning routine.

Provitamin B5 & D-Panthenol

Help support the skin’s moisture balance with soothing and conditioning benefits. Provitamin B5 attracts and retains moisture, helping skin stay soft and supple while reducing the look of dryness and irritation.

Prep your skin: for the longest-lasting result, exfoliate one day before tanning. You can use our Back Scrubber or Exfoliating Mitt. 1. Apply the Gradual Tanning Lotion with the Glove or Body Brush. 2. Blend evenly over the body, just as you would apply a regular body lotion. 3. Use once daily until you reach your desired tan. The colour builds gradually and can remain visible for up to 14 days. 4. Reapply 1 to 2 times per week to maintain your glow. Notice only a subtle difference after the first application? That is exactly how gradual tanning works. The colour builds over several days, with the first visible result after 1 to 2 applications. Tip: also suitable for the face. Wash your hands thoroughly after use.
