BeauBronz combines its glorious golden colour with the added bonus of a temporary twinkling, subtle sparkle.
The combined solution contains 2% of the active ingredient organic DHA but also adds a generous helping of shimmering mica particles that are evenly distributed across the body for a one-off extravaganza. The shimmer can simply be washed off to leave behind a sun- kissed colour lasting up to seven days.

Chemical reaction
People have turned to sunless tanning products to keep a healthy looking glow all your round, but traditionally sunless products were known for their strong, chemical-like smell whilst developing, which can often worry clients and leave them asking what is actually going onto (and into!) their body!
“Traditionally, tans are full of chemicals, colorants and perfumes, which are toxins that our body takes in putting extra stress on our antioxidants and drainage,” says Virginie Claire, Virginie Claire Products. “Tans are made to last for several days on the skin, so to have something sitting on the skin for this long should be as pure as it can be because our skin will absorb in these ingredients over the days.”
Noelle O’Connor of TanOrganic™ continues: “Our skin is the largest organ in the body and 64% of what we apply onto it can be absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, so if we care about what we eat, we really should care about what we put on our skin. The average woman applies more than 200 synthetic ingredients a day via personal care products, which soaks up over 2kg of synthetic ingredients per year into the skin,”
And, according to the experts, not only will applying a natural product to the skin benefit your client on the inside, but it will show on the outside too. “The change from tans using chemicals to plant extracts is fantastic because our skin will truly glow from the goodness of these activities,” says Virginie. “With chemical based tans, many skins can become itchy, irritated, dry and dehydrated.
Vita Liberata’s products contain natural active ingredients and offer three different strengths of spray tan solution for a natural looking tan. Their products contain no perfume or alcohol, no parabens, no patching streaking or scaling, and no smell.

Natural tanning products can also make a whole lot of difference to the quality of the tan it produces. “Look for products that don’t rely on DHA to develop a tan colour,” advises Emma Doherty, brand manager for Jane Iredale. “Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) only colours the top layer of the skin. It imposes a colour that is not your own natural tan. The surface colour doesn’t produce a long lasting tan because as the skin naturally exfoliates it sheds the colour, which can result in uneven patchiness.
“If a client tends towards dry skin or doesn’t have time to exfoliate, they should go for a tanner with a new generation formulation where the
72
ingredients work at a deeper level than the surface, where DHA works. An inclusive hydrating ingredient like wheat protein saves time on pre- moisturisation too.”
Turning green
It’s pretty much safe to say that if you want your salon or Spa to be one of the best and most sought after, you have to offer something to suit everyone, and offering an organic or natural alternative to treatments is certainly one way of doing this.
In March’s issue of Irish Beauty, we looked at introducing organic and natural products into the salon and how to identify what is and what isn’t a natural or organic product, so you should already be a pro at choosing the right organic product and researching ingredients. A similar principle applies to choosing a natural or organic tanning range, so don’t let the different ingredients and formulations confuse you! Look out for certifi cation from an organic body, or take a look at the ingredients yourself.
“A tanning product is deemed organic when certain ingredients have been taken from organic agriculture and certifi cate of authority is received for these ingredients. So it is important for a salon owner and client to know this, as even though a product may claim to be organic, it may not be completely natural. The rest of the ingredients need to be looked at also,” says Virginie.
With tanning products, one of the most important ingredients is the one that changes the colour of the skin. Any ingredients that list artifi cial orange or yellow colourings will turn the client orange. For a natural alternative you should be looking out for naturally derived DHAs. Other ingredients to look out for include aloe vera, which is one of the best all natural skin moisturisers, vitamin A, E, and B, jojoba oil, coconut oil, mineral oil, and shea butter.
And when you have found the right product line, encourage your clients to give it a go. “Clients should be encouraged to use natural tanning products as the skin will be in better condition overall. It will be well moisturised, nourished and hydrated with a healthy glow that isn’t orange,” says Virginie.
