Glycerin

Our organic Glycerin comes from coconut or RSPO palm trees that are certified sustainably and ethically grown. Glycerin is an important component in our formulations and works as an excellent substitute for petrol-derived materials such as petrolatum, paraffin, or mineral oil that are often found in tanning products. It aids in producing the wonderful jelly-like consistency, and intensifies light onto skin.

Its other great trick is its ability to pull moisture from the surrounding air or deep layers of the skin to hydrate skin's outer layers. We've taken this trick a step further by adding Jojoba Esters to our jellies which naturally seal skin (similar to mineral oil) and so, working in conjunction with glycerin, provide up to 24 hours of moisturisation. This is important during tanning as it stops skin from dying out and adds moisture where it may have been lost. And as we know, healthy moisturised skin tans best and retains colour longer.
