Product Information
Full details
This vegan, cruelty-free self-tan mousse is designed for individuals seeking a natural-looking, streak-free tan without orange tones. Its key benefit is a quick-drying, tropical-scented formula that hydrates the skin with coconut water. A potential consideration is that the 'medium' shade may require a patch test for those with very fair skin to assess development time.

FAQs
How long does the tan take to develop?
The tan typically develops within 4-8 hours. You can rinse off after this time to reveal your color. For a deeper tan, you can leave it on longer, but avoid excessive moisture during the development phase.
Is this product suitable for very fair skin?
The 'Medium' shade is designed to be natural-looking. For very fair skin, it's recommended to perform a patch test first to ensure the desired color intensity is achieved and to gauge the development time accurately.
Can I use this on my face?
While formulated for the body, some users use it on their face. It is recommended to use a smaller amount and apply carefully, perhaps with a smaller brush or sponge, ensuring it blends well with your natural skin tone.
How often should I reapply?
This depends on your desired color intensity and how quickly your tan fades. Typically, users reapply every 5-10 days, ensuring they exfoliate and moisturize between applications.
Will this product stain my clothes?
The formula is quick-drying. However, it is recommended to wear loose, dark clothing after application until you rinse off the initial guide color to minimize any potential transfer.
What are the main ingredients for hydration?
The mousse is enriched with coconut water, which provides hydration and helps to keep the skin feeling soft and moisturized.
Is the scent strong?
The product features a tropical scent designed to be pleasant and mask traditional self-tanner odors. The intensity is subjective but generally considered mild and refreshing.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky tan
Ensure skin was properly exfoliated and moisturized before application. Use a tanning mitt and apply in smooth, sweeping motions. For corrections, gently exfoliate the streaky areas or use a tan remover.
Tan looks too orange
This product is formulated to avoid orange tones. If an orange hue appears, it may be due to skin pH or over-application. Ensure proper skin prep and consider a lighter application next time. A patch test can help assess color development on your skin tone.
Tan faded quickly
Ensure skin was well-moisturized after the initial tan developed. Avoid hot baths and harsh soaps, which can strip the tan. Regular daily moisturizing will help maintain the color.
Mousse not dispensing properly
Ensure the pump mechanism is not blocked. Try gently shaking the bottle before use. If issues persist, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Before application, ensure skin is clean, dry, and free from lotions or oils. Exfoliate the entire body 24 hours prior to tanning for a smoother canvas. Moisturize dry areas such as elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists to prevent the tan from absorbing too deeply.
Application: Use a tanning mitt for even application. Pump the mousse onto the mitt and apply in sweeping, circular motions. Start from the feet and work your way up, ensuring no areas are missed. Bend knees and elbows to avoid streaks.
Development: Allow the tan to dry completely before dressing. Wear loose, dark clothing. Avoid showering, sweating, or swimming for at least 4-8 hours (or as per desired depth of tan).
Care: To prolong your tan, moisturize daily and avoid harsh exfoliants. Reapply as needed to maintain color. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
