A well‑known self‑tanning lotion that effectively delivers a natural medium tan with hydrating benefits, but fragrance may be a concern for sensitive users.
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, Apricot Kernel Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Apricot Kernel Oil, Glycerin
Whether it can help uneven tone, dark spots, melasma-like discoloration, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — including brightening and tyrosinase-inhibiting ingredients.
From Dihydroxyacetone
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
From Glycerin, Apricot Kernel Oil, Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.
From Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Dimethicone
Things to watch
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Citronellol, Fragrance, Hydroxycitronellal
Whether there are known or plausible concerns for pregnancy, fertility, fetal development, or breastfeeding.
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Fragrance, Citronellol, Limonene, Phenoxyethanol
Whether it has meaningful potential to be absorbed into the body at levels that may matter biologically. Most cosmetic ingredients score low unless there is known concern or high exposure.
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
From Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexyl Cinnamal
