Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I see color after using the Gradual Self-Tanning Body Cream?

You will immediately see a nice healthy glow after application. The self-tanning body cream was designed to give a natural-looking color and glow rather than intensely tanning your skin right away. Your color will reach it’s peak in 6-8 hours after application. You can build the color with each application, we recommend using it every other day until you reach your desired color.

How long do I have to wait to shower?

Our tip is to apply the gradual self-tanning body cream in the morning or before bed to allow your tan time to develop & set. Avoid water exposure after application, so no streaking occurs. We recommend waiting 8 hours before showering to give your tan ample time to develop.

How do I prevent transferring onto my clothing or bedding?

After applying the self-tanning body cream wait a full 5-10 minutes before getting dressed or getting into bed so the product has time to dry. This will ensure an even color development and prevent transferring.

Is the Gradual Self-Tanning Body Cream non-toxic?

Yes! We prioritize using only non-toxic ingredients in the products we create. All our products are non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, sulfate-free, paraben-free, paraffin-free, silicone-free, & phthalate-free. All our products also meet the Sephora Clean standard.

What does the Gradual Self-Tanning Body Cream smell like?

The gradual self-tanning body cream comes in a luxurious Santal, Vanilla Caviar, or Rosewood fragrance. Santal is warm and creamy with notes of sandalwood, cinnamon, amyris and wood. Vanilla Caviar is an opulent reimagined vanilla with notes of cypress, pear, amber, lemon & bergamot. Rosewood is floral and earthy with notes of rose water, palmarosa.

Do I apply the Gradual Self-Tanning Body Cream with my hands or do I need a mitt?

This product is best applied with your hands- we find it creates a more even, streak-free result and gives you better control as you blend. Be sure to wash your hands immediately with soap and water after applying.

Can the Gradual Self-Tanning Body Cream be used on my face?

We wouldn’t recommend using the gradual self-tanning body cream on your face, as it was formulated as a rich body cream to keep skin deeply hydrated and may feel too heavy for facial skin. Instead, we recommend using our tanning face drops, which are made specifically for the face and deliver a customizable glow with added skincare benefits.
