A functional body lotion for gradual tanning and hydration, with added antioxidant support. However, the presence of multiple fragrance ingredients and alcohol denat may be a concern for sensitive or reactive skin types.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
From Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Citric Acid
Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
From Ubiquinone, Citric Acid, Glycerin
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
Whether it can help uneven tone, dark spots, melasma-like discoloration, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — including brightening and tyrosinase-inhibiting ingredients.
From Dihydroxyacetone, Citric Acid
Things to watch
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Citronellol, Fragrance, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol
Whether it may worsen breakouts — clogging pores, feeling heavy on acne-prone skin, or triggering comedones in some users.
From Isopropyl Palmitate
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.
From Citric Acid
Whether it can weaken or damage the skin barrier — harsh surfactants, strong exfoliants, high alcohol content, or overuse-prone actives.
From Alcohol Denat., Citric Acid, Fragrance
