WHAT IS IT?

Bask in a healthy, natural-looking glow with this luxurious gradual tanning lotion. Designed to provide a customisable, sun-kissed finish, this formula allows you to build your desired depth of tan while deeply nourishing your skin.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Mimicking your skin’s own melanin production, our patented plant allo-melanin provides a radiance that’s perfectly tailored to your unique skin tone, ensuring a beautiful result with no streaks in sight.

This isn't just a self-tanning lotion; it's a treat for your body. Infused with creamy mango butter, hydrating aloe vera juice, and coconut oil, it works to soothe and restore moisture levels, leaving your complexion feeling velvety soft.

The tropical piña colada scent transports you to sunnier climes with every application, making your tanning routine a moment of pure bliss. Always freshly made, it’s the secret to a healthier, glowing complexion all year round.

How To Use

Arrow Down

For the most even, streak-free results, exfoliate your skin thoroughly before use to create a smooth surface.

Apply to clean, dry skin. Avoid using a separate body moisturiser beforehand, as those oils can act as a barrier and prevent the tanning agents from activating correctly.

Use the light brown guide tint to see exactly where you have applied the lotion.

Use your hands or a tanning mitt to blend the lotion into the skin using long, sweeping strokes.

Pay extra attention to drier areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and feet, using any excess product left on the mitt for a natural finish.

Wash your hands immediately after application. Apply daily to build your glow, or every 2-3 days to maintain your sun-kissed look.

Ingredients

Plant Allo-Melanin

Plant Allo-Melanin

This intelligent ingredient works in harmony with your skin to develop a gradual, even colour. Its slow and steady approach creates a beautifully balanced, natural-looking tan every time.
Mango Butter

Mango Butter

This tropical skin nourisher made from mango seeds is lovely and light, without any greasiness. It’s also loaded with nutrients including vitamins A, C and E, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants to help protect and prep skin for a flawless-looking tan.
Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil

A marvellous emollient that’s rapidly absorbed, coconut oil is composed of fatty acids that sink into skin. The oil also keeps the skin's barrier function in top condition, meaning it doesn't dry out or result in a patchy tan.

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".

    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.

    Bronze

    Use the pointed end of the Precision Face Brush to sweep your bronzer along your cheekbones, blending outward for a naturally lifted look.

    Blush

    With the same end, apply your blush to the apples of your cheeks, blending out and up for a fresh, radiant flush.

    Highlight

    Switch to the domed end of the Precision Face Brush to apply your highlighter. Sweep a soft C from your brow bone to the tops of your cheeks.

    Define The Eyes

    Take the Expert Blending Brush to blend your bronzer into your eye creases, creating a gorgeous depth that ties your look together.

    Eyeshadow

    Use the 3-in-1 Eye Brush to apply your shadow across the lid, blending outward for a soft finish. Add highlighter to the inner corners for instant brightness.

    Liner & Brows

    All-Over Warmth

    Finish with the Kabuki Brush, sweeping your bronzer across your forehead and jawline for a seamless, sun-kissed glow.

    The Story Behind Finishing Touch

    "While many setting sprays rely on synthetic film-formers that can contribute to microplastic pollution, Finishing Touch is powered by plant-derived polymers for a cleaner, more sustainable alternative. 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

    How long does gradual tan take to develop?

    You will typically begin to see a beautiful, sun-kissed glow develop within 4 to 6 hours of application.

    Because this is a gradual tanning lotion, the colour is subtle and buildable, allowing you to reach your perfect shade over several days of use.

    Does this gradual tanning moisturiser wash off in the shower?

    The guide tint will wash away during your first shower after application, but the developed tan remains.

    Like a natural tan, it will gradually fade over 5 to 7 days as your skin naturally renews itself. Keeping your skin hydrated with a moisturiser can help prolong the life of your glow.
