Proof

“I never tan properly. This was after two sessions.”

Struggle to tan?

If your skin takes hours to colour or fades in days, you're missing melanin activation and hydration.

Dual action

Activates melanin before UV and keeps working during it, so colour comes faster and holds longer.

How it works

Two jobs, one tube

Before UV

Prime the pigment

Acetyl Tyrosine and Vitex give your skin the raw material for melanin, so the first session starts from a head start instead of from zero.

During UV

Hold the colour

Hyaluronic acid, squalane and jojoba keep skin saturated through exposure. Hydrated skin holds tone, dry skin sheds it.

The best results. I'm a very pale person and no matter how many sunbeds I used I couldn't get my desired colour. Now I'm darker than I thought my skin could ever get. I love it, will continue purchasing without a doubt.

As a natural ginger who's normally white as a ghost, I honestly didn't think I'd ever have a tan. I've only had 3 sessions and I actually have tan lines already. I'm so happy with the results.

Before you buy

Questions we get asked

Will this work if I never seem to tan?

That is exactly who the range is built for. An accelerator gives your skin the raw material it uses to build pigment before you go under UV, so the session starts from a head start rather than from zero. It will not turn a session into a tan on its own, but it is the difference most people are missing.

Will it rub off on clothes or bedding?

No. Our accelerator contains no DHA and no bronzer, so there is no colour sitting on the surface to transfer. It absorbs fully in about thirty seconds.

Can I use it on sunbeds?

Yes. It is designed to be used before a session and again straight after, and it works the same way in natural sunlight.

Does it contain SPF?

No. None of our products contain SPF and none should be treated as sun protection. Follow the exposure guidance for your skin type and the session limits set by your salon.

Which strength should I start with?

The X2 is the starter strength and the easiest place to begin. The X3 is the balanced everyday option. The X5 is the strongest and the one most people move on to once they know how their skin responds.

How quickly will my order arrive?

Can I return it?
