Why is Brown Bee’s Self-Tanning Lotion Great For Fair-Skin?

What Makes Brown Bee’s Self-Tanning Lotion Different?

Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we’ve created our self-tanning lotion to complement your unique skin tone.

Eliminates Orange Tones

We want our self-tanning products to deliver a beautiful sunless tan. Our formula uses a blend of active ingredients like dihydroxyacetone (DHA), erythrulose, Vitamin E, and aloe vera so that your skin isn’t irritated by harsh dyes. This allows the self-tanning lotion to create a soft, golden glow instead of an artificial orange tone.

Active Ingredients

Healthy skin holds a tan much better than dry skin, so we’ve designed our self-tanning lotion with ingredients that nourish the skin, while tanning at the same time. Because the formula is gentle, it works on sensitive skin, but it’s always important to do a patch test before using any product to make sure that your skin doesn’t have a reaction. For your face, which requires extra care and a more targeted formula, our H7 Face Tanning Serum and Gradual Face Tanning Serum are great additions to your skincare routine

Streak-Free Application

Applying self-tanner shouldn't be complicated. Our self-tanning lotion is lightweight, and glides smoothly over your skin for a flawless, streak-free application. Simply apply it like your regular body moisturizer, and wash your hands after application for the best results.

Long-Lasting Results

Many self-tanners crack and peel, but our formulas offer amazing results depending on how long you want to keep your tan. With proper skin prep, regularly moisturizing, and consistent use, you’ll have sun-kissed skin without being exposed to harmful UV rays.
