We found that it has all-natural, organic ingredients and a wonderful smell. The smell alone is what threw us for a loop. It’s not often that you’ll find a self tanner that doesn’t fill your nose with chemicals.

Company Beliefs

The company features natural ingredients in their products, so when they call them cosmeceuticals, we wanted to learn more.

The term refers to a product that uses natural ingredients and claims to have medicinal properties including the ability to be anti-aging.

In fact, the name Tan ceuticals conveys the ability to give you a healthy tan without all the ravaging impact of the sun.

When you can get a tan using a sunless, safe alternative that also firms, tightens, and repairs your skin, you’re using a product that has medicinal properties.

The company opened its doors in 2013, but the company is located in Arizona where there’s plenty of sun.

It might seem strange that people in a sunny state would need self tanners, but those are the people at risk of sun-related damage.

From skin cancer to wrinkles, there’s much to worry about when you want to get a tan in actual sunlight. The founders used a ton of self tanning products and realized they needed to create their own.

They’ve received numerous awards and accolades since opening their doors, too.


Easy to Apply

This is a creamy lotion that should be applied with a mitt. While some tanners have a bronzing agent that allows you to see where it’s been applied, this one does not.

It’s also more of a liquid than a cream, which means that you’ll need to be careful when pouring. You don’t want to lose any liquid since it’s only 4.2 ounces worth.

It blends easily and dries quickly, so you don’t have to worry about it being rubbed from your skin, and you won’t be stuck in the house waiting for it to dry.


Incredible Scent

One of the positive things people talk about aside from the gorgeous color is the scent.

You have a hint of coconut with this tanner, which is different from some other tanners that have a huge scent of chemicals. This is a great reason alone to use a tanner with natural ingredients.


Great Color

This self tanner from Tanceuticals has received so many awards in a short amount of time. It’s been used by over 125,000 people including celebrities who have raved about the product, and its color.

Nobody wants to be an orange-streaked mess. The SelfTanning authority blog called it #1 while Vive Magazine said the same. These editors have tested and tried many self tanners to come to their conclusions.

Even Marie Claire rated this self tanner as one of the 10 Best No-Streak Self Tanners. That’s an incredible honor and speaks to the color you can get without streaking.


Organic Ingredients

The ingredients couldn’t be easier to pronounce, and almost every ingredient is one that you’ve heard of before.

There’s Acai berry, Shea butter, cocoa seed butter, Mangifera Indica seed butter (mango), grape seed oil, sweet almond, macadamia and other fruit extracts.

As far as the DHA needed to change the color of your skin, that comes from a sugar base – not chemicals.


Safe for Sensitive Skin

With all the safe, natural and organic ingredients in this self tanner, it should be no surprise that it’s great for sensitive skin. Most of the time chemicals being absorbed by the skin will cause anyone to have a reaction.

It’s no surprise that some people can’t use self tanners at all since they are full of chemicals. With all the organic fruit and nut based extracts in this tanner, you won’t have to worry about chemicals.

It should be kept in mind that there are nuts and other food extracts in this that can trigger allergies in those who have problems. That should be kept in mind.


Frequently Asked Questions

How many applications come from the 4.2 ounce bottle?

If you use this once or twice a week, it can last a little over a month. It depends on how much you use when reapplying, too.

Are there parabens in this?

This product – like other Tanceutical products – doesn’t have parabens. They don’t have mineral oil or propylene glycol, either.

The Tanceuticals CC Self Tanner is a wonderful lotion with a great smell. It’s thin enough that you can spread it quickly and use very little to get complete coverage.

It’s an organic alternative to the versions that assault your body with chemicals that you don’t need.
