FAQ

How is this different from a regular tanning lotion?

Unlike standard tanning lotions, this formula is powered by our DNA Defense™ Shield, which combines antioxidant science with melanin-boosting peptides. It supports your skin’s natural ability to tan, while defending it at the cellular level from UV-induced stress.

Will I still need to wear sunscreen?

Yes. This product does not contain SPF. We recommend pairing it with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect against harmful UV rays. Our lotion is designed to support your skin during tanning—not replace sun protection.

Will this make me tan faster?

Yes. Thanks to Melanoil®, this formula helps activate your skin’s natural melanin production, which can result in a faster, deeper tan with less time in the sun.

Can I use this with fake tan or spray tan?

Absolutely. It won't interfere with DHA-based self-tanners and can be used to keep your skin hydrated and protected underneath or in between sessions.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. It’s vegan, paraben-free, and formulated with soothing ingredients like jojoba oil and peptides. However, we always recommend a patch test first if you have reactive skin.

Can I use this on my face?

Yes, though it’s primarily designed for body use. If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, apply cautiously or opt for a lighter moisturizer with similar antioxidant properties.

Do I need to be in the sun for it to work?

Yes — this lotion supports your skin's natural tanning response, so some UV exposure is needed. But this isn’t about cooking yourself under harsh rays. We believe in intentional tanning: controlled sun time, consistent hydration, and skin-smart routines.
