To be certified by the OFC means that each product must contain a minimum of 70% Certified Organic ingredients and the rest must be natural. Most of our products are above the 90% Certified Organic ingredient mark. Certified Organic covers everything you would expect in an ethically produced product, including being free range, cruelty free, socially responsible and grown without genetic modifications, hormones, antibiotics, synthetic pesticides and herbicides. It also means that we undergo annual company audits to ensure we are complying with the strict requirements of the OFC.

The main difference is that Certified Organic products require at least 70% of the ingredients to be Certified as Organic (as mentioned above) and the remaining ingredients must be natural. Anyone can claim to produce a natural product if even only one of their ingredients is natural. This can be misleading to the consumer and we always encourage people to do their own research before purchasing.

No way! We are passionate advocates for animal protection and are certified by Choose Cruelty Free and Licensed by PETA to guarantee that our products and ingredients have never been tested on animals.

Application is the key. Our tans do not contain any synthetic orange dyes or colourants that stain your skin, instead they use your dead skin cells to stick to and develop into a golden glow. For best results exfoliate 24-48 hours prior as this will allow the correct amount of dead skin cells to be present. Apply an even amount of tan to all areas. Take your time so you don’t miss any bits.

Please refer to the directions for each product on our product page.

Our Face Tan Water includes Caprylyl/Capryl Wheat, Bran/Straw Glycosides and Fusel Wheat Bran/Straw Glycosides which include starting materials deriving from wheat. These are certified as gluten-free.

For best results we recommend you apply Face Tan Water to fresh clean dry skin just like a toner. That’s where it fits into your routine. Apply 2 -3 times per week for a radiant glow. Use a few days in a row to build up your desired colour then we find 2 -3 times per week is enough to maintain it amongst your usual skincare routine. Exfoliate at least 24 hours before applying Face Tan Water, you only need to exfoliate once a week as our organic self-tans do need a certain amount of dead skin cells to adhere to and any more you’re just removing fresh healthy skin. Just use your fingers to apply as we find a cotton pad can soak up all the liquid. It contains nothing synthetic or artificial so it won’t stain your hands. No nasty dyes. (we couldn’t be certified organic if it did). Make sure you’re applying enough product about at least a teaspoon per application to see a thin layer on your skin. Think of it as your toner, that’s where it fits in to your routine, wait for it to dry before applying any moisturisers. Use instead of toner. as using another toner straight over it will wipe it straight off. Use a soap free and sls free cleansers as they are known to strips tans.

We recommend only using the Super Acai Exfoliator once or twice a week and the day before you use Face Tan Water for the first time and use Face Compost once a week. But for the others here’s how we recommend you use them for best results.Step 1: Apply Super Citrus Cleanser daily, morning and/or night.
Step 2: Use Face Tan Water next just like a toner onto dry skin and wait for it to dry before applying any other products. For best results, use 24 hours after exfoliating with Super Acai Exfoliator. To maintain your golden glow, apply 2 – 3 times per week.
Step 3: Spray one pump of Super Fruit Toner directly onto clean, dry skin morning and/or night after cleansing to face, neck and beyond.
Step 4: Use 1-2 pumps of Super Fruit Hydrator daily and/or night.
Step 5: Apply 1-2 drops of Glory Oil morning and/or night. Note that the use of Glory Oil immediately before or after Face Tan Water will dilute the glow so be sure to spread the application of these two products out!

Our tans typically last for 7-10 days. This can be affected by how often you exfoliate and what type of cleansers you use in the shower, but with correct application and proper maintenance you shouldn’t have any problems keeping your beautiful glow for the above timeframe.

Use your hands or the smooth side of our dual sided mitt as it was created specifically to apply our organic tanning waters. It won’t soak up too much liquid and gives you a professional application every time. Apply a generous amount directly onto skin starting at you ankles and rubbing in each area with our mitt as you go working your way up slowly. Wash your hands afterwards thoroughly

As our tans are organic and don’t contain synthetic dyes, they don’t stain your skin and instead work with your body’s amino acids and dead skin cells to create a tan that is perfect for you.

The Cancer Council states that the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of a sunscreen is a measure of how well it protects the skin from sunburn. Sunscreens must be applied liberally to achieve the SPF protection claimed on the label.

They do not contain oxybenzone and octinoxate, two common UV-blocking chemicals that studies have shown can cause coral bleaching.

Yes for 40 mins, after 40 mins re-apply. 

Broad spectrum SPF refers to sunscreens that protect the skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Even with a high SPF (sun protection factor), if sunscreen isn't a broad spectrum, you won't be protected from all UVA rays.

Yes, our sunscreens are pregnancy-friendly and for babies 6+ months old.
