Organic Self Tanner Lotion, Sunless Tanner Lotion - with Shea Butter, Avacado Oil & Almond - Regular, 8oz

Finally! A DHA-Free Tanner!!! Nice golden tan on with no allergic reactions! I have had an allergic reaction to literally every single self-tanner, but not this one! I had no allergic reactions after 3 patch tests and 2 full body tests! It’s easy to apply. It’s like a thin lotion. It smells very good - it actually smells like lemon cake :) The tan came out very nice! Like a warm golden tan. Not too orange or brown. Develops in 24 hours and is very buildable. You can easily do another layer if you wanted to go darker. Also blends very well too! No weird streaks or textures. Does not feel sticky or anything weird. Does not transfer on to clothes. Overall, MUST BUY! 😃 I’m going to buy more!! (I got the DHA-Free Dark).

This was worth the wait (had an initial delivery delay) not only is it building color with two applications it did not cause hives. I’ve not used a self tanner or gradual color tanner for years because of DHA. I got the lighter of the two available that were DHA free. It is moisturizing, easy to apply and smells like natural spices. Also no transfer. Highly recommend!

has DHA, burned eyes. cannot return!! don’t buy!!

I am allergic to DHA, and I was looking for something for my legs because they don’t tan at all and I want them to match the rest of my body! I have been using this for over a month and I wanted to share some honest info. Considering this is really the only DHA free product it’s pretty good, but some tips and things to note: 1. This lotion takes a while to build up. You can speed it up a bit by using it twice a day, but expect a solid 3 days before you get a significant change in skin tone 2. It does have a yellow undertone. I have a “neutral” skin tone so many tanners turn a bit yellow on my skin, this one a bit more so. The days leading up to build-up leave my skin looking a bit like a fading bruise, but that’s resolved by day 3 3. The gradual buildup means you are not able to fix mistakes easily. If you have a dry patch, or putting too much on your feet or knees you won’t know until it develops. For example I had a small dry patch on my foot that got pretty dark by day 3, but I was able To correct by putting a bit of lotion there before tanning. It started to resolve. 4. I used daily, tried twice a day and once a day. I find I can use this for about two weeks before I need to do a deep exfoliation and start over. The buildup starts to get patchy, and streaky. Not cute. Remember that this takes about 3 days before you look tan, so if you have an event plan accordingly 5. To remove I use an exfoliating mitt 6. You can lighten spots with a bit of rubbing alcohol 7. If you are using daily it goes quickly. Just using it on my legs (toe to thigh) I got about 4/5 weeks. If you are using on your whole body I would imagine you could easily go through 1.5-2 bottles a month. 8. If you put this in at night it WILL stain your sheets 9. The smell is citrusy and sweet. Did not bother me or my husband, but can see it could be unpleasant to some 10. This was not streaky at all. The gradual build up allows for soft transitions between feet, ankles, knees etc. in that sense it’s actually better than regular tanner that develops quickly. Overall this is worth it to me because the itch and hives from regular tanners is pretty unbearable. And my legs look SO different from the rest of My body during the summer I feel Like a need something But this product takes commitment, patience, and planning.

I never leave reviews but had to share my experience with this product. I am very fair and have tried every tanning product on the market, including those without fragrances, and all of them caused me to break out in a very itchy rash. I finally figured out that it's probably the DHA that I'm allergic to, and decided to give this product a chance. I couldn't be more pleased! I have done about four applications of this on my legs and arms over the past week, and no rash! I was worried about ordering the "Dark" version (the regular version was not available quickly), but it has been perfect for my very fair/light skin. It has given me a very natural, light golden color. Not exactly a tan, but definitely a beautiful golden color that makes me look like I've gotten some sun. It is not orange at all, which I'm very happy about. Also, it has a nice, light fragrance, unlike the many other products I have tried before. I will definitely continue buying and using this product!

I'm olive toned and think I look a little healthier with a bit of color, but I'm also skin care conscience about tanning/laying out, and found out years ago I'm allergic to DHA, so bronzer isn't even an option. Laying out is sortof a pain, since I cover face/neck where I use retinols, get tan lines, and get sweaty/tired. Years ago I found one truly organic bronzer product that actually worked without irritating my skin; however, it's pretty greasy, has a strong odor and glimmer to it, so couldn't be worn to bed, under light clothes, under makeup, etc. It's expensive and such a labor to use I found myself rarely even wanting to do it. I came across this product (which is probably about the cost of one spray tan) and decided to try it. And YES, it definitely works! I went pretty light on the first application but saw streaks on my feet days later where I didn't blend very well (and like the bottle says, nope, this doesn't just wash off). So the good news was, it was working lol, the downside, I had streaky feet for a few days and some blotches here and there. SMELL - it smells like a glazed donut. If you're really conscience about any possible smell, I'd recommend applying this 3-5 days before an event so you get your desired color and are minimizing the scent. If you're using this often, I would say on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being super obvious and stinky, this is a 2 or 3. If you are really sensitive to smells, it may be more for you. After my lotion and perfume, I find it hardly noticeable. APPLICATION - after the Streaky Feet incident, I used a MAC 810 brush to apply a line of product to each general area, and use circling motions to cover and blend. It's impossible to tell when you first apply this if it's even, so doing so with the short soft-haired brush helped eliminate much room for error or embarrassing blotches or streaks. I don't leave product reviews very often, but since this is such a niche market/product, thought it would be helpful to other people who can't/won't use DHA but still want to get a "healthy glow". I also think this is a small business, so hopefully this honest feedback helps as well. No product is 100% perfect in every way for everyone, but I for one have absolutely no skin irritation, can use this on my face and body with no reaction, thought the price is reasonable, and find the color to develop into a nice tanned brown. Try it out and get your glow on!

Finally!! After developing a DHA allergy and trying countless self tanners and spray tans , this is the only product that did not cause burning hives all over my legs and chest. Because I've had reactions before, I made sure to spot test this before applying over my whole body. I also made sure to prep my skin like I would with any self tanners, exfoliating 24 hours before and moisturizing the dry areas. The smell is great, like citrus and cinnamon. The product is quite runny, a little goes a long way. It takes some time to develop, but I was pleasantly surprised on how even the tan looked, especially on my lower legs which has always been a problem area for hives and uneven colour in the past. The colour is slightly more orange and not as "deep" than other tanners I've used, but overall it's a light/natural glow that I'm happy with! Honestly I'm just so thrilled to finally find a DHA free product! I'll be a customer for life!

Terrible. I’m orange. And smells terrible.
