Product Description

Arrow Down

WHAT IS IT? 

Whether you want to top up an existing tan or create a subtle sun-kissed glow, this certified-organic, customisable bronzing serum is your very own summer in a bottle. Buildable gradual tanning drops for a bronzed glow anytime you want. 

WHAT DOES IT DO? 

Our tanning drops contain natural tanning agents that mimic the colour of your skin’s own melanin for an even, natural-looking glow. Enriched with hydrating coconut water and soothing aloe vera juice, it keeps your skin nourished and fresh. 


Simply mix a few drops with your moisturiser, apply and wait for the sweet passion fruit scent to transport you to sunnier climes.

How To Use

Arrow Down

After cleansing and drying your face, mix 2-6 tanning drops with your moisturiser.

Massage evenly over your face, neck, and décolletage, and allow your tan to develop over 10 hours.

Adjust the number of drops you use depending on your skin tone and the level of radiance you desire.

For a subtle change in skin colour, we recommend using 2-3 drops. Or, for a more sun-kissed glow, opt for 4-6 drops.

Always remember to wash your hands after application. If you use Fruit Smooth or Glow Berry in your routine, we’d suggest applying Sun Drops on the evenings you don’t reach for these serums.

The Functional Benefits 

Discover the potent ingredients that deeply cleanse, strengthen, and restore your skin – this is where science meets self-care.

Smiling woman in a red blouse seated indoors, posing confidently against a soft neutral background. Susie Ma, CEO & Founder of Tropic Skincare.

The Philosophy Behind The Cleanse

“I created this cleanser to turn an everyday routine into a moment of pure indulgence. It was inspired by conversations with incredible women navigating perimenopause and menopause (a time when skin can naturally start to feel drier and require extra nourishment). I wanted the very first step to feel as beautiful as it is effective: a formula that melts away makeup effortlessly, doubles as a mindful facial massage, and leaves skin feeling supple, nourished, and renewed.

For me, it’s more than cleansing; it’s cocooning your skin in luxury. Take a moment to pause, breathe, massage it in, and enjoy the sensorial ritual.”

Founder & CEO

    Our Most Advanced Formula

    "Embracing the latest in green science and breakthrough technology, Eye Lift is our most advanced formula yet. Inspired by my mum who, at 65, experienced fine lines, puffiness, and sensitivity, this indulgent cream delivers comfort without compromise. Free from retinal to protect the delicate eye area, it’s powered by 11 potent actives that visibly firm, smooth, and sculpt – promising unrivalled results and restored confidence from the very first use."

    The Story Behind Our Smoothing Cleanser

    "When I first set out to create a cleanser, I knew it had to do more than just remove makeup. I wanted it to feel like a moment of calm at the start and end of your day; a gentle ritual that would leave your skin soft, balanced, and cared for, no matter your skin type.

    That’s how Smoothing Cleanser was born. Powered by nourishing jojoba oil and soothing aloe vera, it’s been part of my daily routine for over a decade and it’s still the product I’m most proud of".

    Founder & CEO

    Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

    At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

Infused with natural extracts and antioxidants, it forms a breathable, flexible shield that locks in makeup for up to 16 hours while enhancing skin radiance."

    FAQs

    What are tanning drops and how do they work?

    Tanning drops are concentrated tanning agents that you mix with your moisturiser to gradually build a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow. They work by mimicking the colour of your skin’s own melanin while interacting with the outer layer of your skin to safely create a bronzed effect without sun exposure.

    Can I wear makeup over tanning drops?

    Yes, once fully absorbed and your tan has developed, you can apply makeup as normal. Many Sun Drop users find they need less makeup thanks to the natural glow!

    How long do tanning drops last?

    The tan develops gradually over 8-10 hours and typically lasts around 3-5 days. Regular use helps maintain a consistent, natural-looking glow.

    Can I use tanning drops with other skincare products?

    Yes! Tanning drops mix easily with most moisturisers. Avoid using on the same nights as exfoliating products like Fruit Smooth or Glow Berry for best results.

    Does Sun Drops Gradual Tanning Facial serum clog pores or cause breakouts?

    Sun Drops are non-comedogenic and lightweight. They're designed to work with your skincare routine and shouldn’t clog pores. Always patch-test first if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.

    Is Sun Drops Gradual Tanning Facial Serum suitable for sensitive skin?

    Yes, our formula is gentle and certified organic. It's enriched with hydrating ingredients like aloe vera and coconut water, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

    How do I remove tanning drops from my face?

    The glow fades naturally over a few days, but if needed, gentle exfoliation with a gentle exfoliating product can help speed up the process.
