Sensitive skin

Anytime we mention skin problems it seems that everyone has a story to tell:


About one-third of Australians reported to having a long-term skin condition!

Some common skin conditions include Eczema, Psoriasis, Acne, Contact Dermatitis and skin sensitivity.

Tanning Range

How does it work?

  • DHA (dihydroxyacetone): The active ingredient in most self-tanners.

  • DHA reacts with amino acids in the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin.

  • This reaction is a form of non-enzymatic browning called the Maillard reaction.

  • The result is the formation of brown pigments called melanoidins, which give the skin a tanned appearance.

  • Unlike sun tanning, this process does not require sunlight or UV exposure.

  • The tan fades as the dead skin cells naturally shed over time.

How to get the most out of your tan

  • Exfoliate & Moisturise beforehand

  • Use a tanning mitt

  • Apply in sections & Blend carefully

  • Look for hydrating ingredients: Choose formulas with aloe vera, or sodium hyaluronate to keep skin moisturized and prevent dryness.

  • Choose natural ingredients: Opt for self-tanners with natural actives like sugar-derived DHA for a gentler, more skin-friendly experience.

  • Non-drying formulas: Look for tanners free of alcohol and rich in nourishing oils or butters like jojoba oil or coconut oil to keep skin soft.

  • Let it dry completely: Allow the self-tanner to fully dry before getting dressed to prevent transfer.

Tanning FAQ's

How long does this take to develop?

Our tan can be washed off the skin a minimum of 2 hours after application; 24-hour full development time.

Most tanning products break me out, will this?'

Our tanning range is made without the use of mineral oils, a common cause of breakouts in skincare products.

How dark is the shade going to be?

Designed to give you a natural-looking this will vary from person to person. Results will depend on your natural skin colour and undertones. Please note this is not a performance tan.

Is this suitable for irritated and /or sensitive skin types?

We developed this specifically for sensitive skin types who avoid regular tanning products due to their chemical loads and high chances of reactions.
