Vitamin Enriched Glow

Niacinamide (B3), Vitamin C and Vitamin E support a chocolate-based bronze that creates a believable glow.

Functional Actives - Key Ingredients

DHA (Dihydroxyacetone)

A gentle tanning molecule that reacts with surface amino acids to create a natural-looking, buildable tan. Delivers a believable glow without UV exposure.

Hyaluronic Acid (L Sodium Hyaluronate)

A deeply hydrating, biomimetic form of hyaluronic acid that binds water to the skin, plumping fine lines and improving suppleness of the skin. Its smaller molecular size supports hydration through multiple layers.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

A multitasking vitamin that regulates oil flow, strengthens the skin barrier, brightens and calms visible redness. By supporting the skin’s natural lipid production, it enhances hydration retention and promotes long-term resilience.

Vitamin C

Potent antioxidant protects against free radical damage and supports a clearer, more radiant complexion. Helps reduce blemishes and breakouts, stimulates collagen improving firmness and elasticity.

Vitamin E

A nourishing antioxidant that supports moisturisation and helps counteract dryness during development.

Skin-Loving Oils (Argan, Jojoba & Conditioning Botanicals)

Help soften and smooth the skin’s surface for an even glide, improving blendability and reducing patchiness. Their nurturing lipid profile supports a more uniform tan with a gentle, even fade.

How It Works

Bronzing Foam uses a lightweight, fast-drying mousse delivery system designed to spread evenly and blend smoothly on the skin for consistent colour pickup. DHA begins reacting with surface amino acids to develop natural-looking colour, while Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Vitamin C and Vitamin E work synergistically to support hydration, visible balance and antioxidant protection. The chocolate-based bronzing complex helps guide application and ensures a natural-looking tone, while conditioning oils encourage a softer, more even fade. With two strengths available, you can tailor your glow without compromising the formula’s hydrating, skin-supportive benefits.

Why Others Love It

FAQs

What’s the difference between Medium–Dark and Dark–Ultra Dark?

The DHA level. Medium–Dark produces a golden bronze, while Dark–Ultra Dark delivers deeper intensity. The formula itself remains identical.

Does it smell like traditional fake tan?

No, each shade features a soft signature scent: Coco Vanilla or Rose.

Will it streak?

With proper prep and application, the mousse spreads evenly for a smooth, streak-free result.

Is it suitable for dry skin?

Yes. The Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide and Vitamin E blend is designed to support hydration during development.

How long does it last?

Typically 5–7 days depending on prep, maintenance and skin condition.

Can I apply it to my face?

You can apply SELF to your face, but we always recommend using the Hydrating Tanning Water in this area. On application, use the SELF Tanning Brush for precision, because the face absorbs differently to the body.

Can I layer it?

Absolutely, apply additional layers after your initial rinse for deeper depth.

Does it replace sunscreen?

No, absolutely not. Always apply SPF daily, as tanning products do not provide UV protection.
