Our organic self tan products are designed to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Some people may be sensitive or allergic to tanning agents and so that you can make sure our self tan products are safe for you to use, we disclose their ingredients on our product pages.

Our tanning agents

Tanning agents used in our self tan products include Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and Erythrulose. If you are allergic to these ingredients, our self tan products may not be suitable for you.

Our Self Tan Lotion is suitable for use on face and body and is scented with essential oils from Geranium and Sandalwood. It is free from harsh ingredients.

If your skin is sensitive to fragrance or essential oil, you may find that our unscented Age Defy+ Liquid Gold Tanning Drops best suits your needs. These can be mixed with any day cream or body cream and come with a dropper that makes it easy to control how deep your tan will be.

It always best practice to patch-test new skin care products before use and, if you find that one of our products is not suitable for you, our customer care team would be happy to assist you with a product refund or exchange.
