Natural Self-Tanners: A Sun-Free, UV-Free Tan

Tanning without UV exposure has become a priority for consumers seeking a golden glow while protecting their health and the environment. Say goodbye to the dangers of sun exposure and hello to 100% natural self-tanners that provide a gradual, radiant tan thanks to plant-based active ingredients. Discover the secrets of this new cosmetic trend of high-performance, clean beauty self-tanning products.

How does a natural Self-Tanner work?

Unlike makeup pigments that provide only a temporary colour, self-tanners work through a natural chemical reaction known as the Maillard reaction.

The principle: Self-tanning actives interact with the amino acids in the skin to form melanoidins, compounds responsible for a sun-kissed, natural-looking tan.

The result: A customisable, gradual, and safe tan suitable for all skin tones.

Among the most promising active ingredients, the combination of plant-based DHA + carob pulp stands out for its effectiveness and 100% natural origin. This synergy delivers an even, long-lasting tan while respecting the skin.

DHA & Carob Pulp

DHA: The gold standard of Self-Tanning actives

  • Naturally derived: obtained from the fermentation of corn or sugarcane
  • Fast-acting: reacts within hours with the skin’s amino acids
  • Long-lasting effect: provides a tan that lasts for several days

Carob pulp: a natural Tanning booster

  • Extracted from the carob tree, rich in melanoidin precursors
  • Enhances and extends the self-tanning effect
  • Provides additional hydration thanks to its natural sugar content

Why combine DHA and Carob pulp?

A more even, natural-looking tan: prevents streaks and the dreaded orange effect

  • Gradual intensity: a softer, buildable tan
  • Enhanced longevity: extends the duration of the tan
  • Skincare benefits: hydrates the skin and prevents dryness

Formulas for every need

  • Mists & sprays: for an even, streak-free application
  • Transparent gels: refreshing effect and fast absorption
  • Self-tanning serums: easy integration into a skincare routine
