Palmer's Natural Bronze Sunless Tanning Body Oil 8.5 fl oz — Gradual, Hydrating Face & Body

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Natural Bronze Sunless Tanning Moisturizing Body Oil gradually builds a natural-looking bronze glow for face and body while delivering lasting hydration.

This lightweight, plant-based tanning oil develops a controllable tan in as little as three days without UV exposure. Formulated with Vegetan — a beet-sugar-derived tanning ingredient — plus cocoa butter, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and squalane, the blend aims to produce even color as it nourishes skin. The texture absorbs easily and promises up to 48 hours of moisturization, making it an easy addition to daily skin routines whether you want a subtle boost or a deeper bronze over time.

How quickly will I see a tan using this oil?

Visible color can start appearing after the first day, with a more noticeable bronze developing by day three when applied consistently. Because the formula is buildable, applying daily allows you to deepen your tan gradually without sudden jumps in color.

• Day 1: light, natural glow
• Day 2: warmer, golden tone
• Day 3: deeper bronze with continued daily use
• Buildable: stop or reduce use to maintain your preferred shade

Will the oil leave streaks, odor, or an orange tint?

This sunless tanning oil is designed to minimize streaking and the strong smells often associated with self-tanners. Vegetan helps promote even color development while the lightweight oil base blends smoothly to avoid patchiness and unnatural undertones.

• Vegetan provides an even, plant-derived tanning effect
• Light-absorbing oil formula helps blend color uniformly
• Formulated to reduce common self-tanning odors
• Suitable for a range of skin tones when built gradually

How does this product care for skin while tanning?

Beyond color development, the formula focuses on hydration and skin condition. Key emollients and humectants help lock in moisture for up to 48 hours while the oil leaves skin feeling smoother and more supple as the tan forms.

• Cocoa Butter: nourishes and softens the skin surface
• Hyaluronic Acid: attracts and retains moisture for plumping
• Vitamin E: supports skin conditioning and comfort
• Squalane: lightweight emollient that enhances absorption

Can I use this on my face and what about different skin types?

This dermatologist-approved formula is created for both face and body and is intended for a broad spectrum of skin tones and types. Because it is lightweight and absorbs readily, it works well in facial routines, but patch-testing first is recommended for sensitive complexions.

• Face-safe formulation for gradual, buildable color
• Suitable for oily, dry, combination, and normal skin
• Dermatologist-approved base for everyday use
• Patch test advised for sensitive or reactive skin areas
