Palmer's Natural Bronze Sunless Tanning Oil 250ml

Palmer's Natural Bronze is more than just a self tanner - it's a skincare-first formula that tans and treats your skin at the same time. At the heart of every Natural Bronze product is Palmer's hero ingredient, Cocoa Butter, naturally harvested from cocoa beans and rich in antioxidant Cocoa Mass Polyphenols (CMPs) that protect your skin's moisture barrier while delivering deep, lasting hydration. Combined with vegetable-derived tanning ingredients (no harsh chemicals here), the result is a natural, sun-kissed colour without the orange tones, streaks or that tell-tale fake tan smell. Just beautifully bronzed, glowing skin.

Getting a flawless, streak-free result comes down to prep and application. Follow these steps:

1. Exfoliate: Start with freshly exfoliated skin to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth, even base. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Body Scrub is a great option for this.
2. Prep: Apply a small amount of body lotion to any dry areas like elbows, knees, feet and hands. Let it absorb for 5 minutes before tanning to prevent patchy colour.
3. Apply: Apply Palmer's Natural Bronze to your entire body. Start with a small amount and build up as needed. Buff in using a blending brush or tanning mitt for a seamless finish.
4. Develop: Let your tan develop over 8 hours. Apply in the morning and go about your day, or put it on at night and wake up glowing. Use daily and watch your tan build beautifully, or stop at day one for a subtle, healthy glow. 

• Day 1: Sun-kissed glow
• Day 2: Golden bronzed
• Day 3: Deep, rich tan

Maintain: After showering, moisturise daily with your favourite Palmer's body lotion or oil to keep your tan fading evenly and your skin feeling soft.

Apply once for a subtle, sun-kissed glow. Keep applying daily and by day three you can achieve a deep, rich bronze. Fair skin tones can build to a deep tan in just 3 days, while deeper skin tones will notice a rich, even and gloriously glowy finish.

Hydration is everything when it comes to making your tan last. After showering, moisturise daily with a Palmer's Body Lotion or Body Oil. Keeping skin hydrated helps your tan fade evenly and prevents it from clinging to dry patches. Once you've reached your desired colour depth, a top-up application every few days is all you need to keep it looking fresh.

Yes. Palmer's Natural Bronze Gradual Tanning Moisturiser is vegan and free from parabens and phthalates.

No. Palmer's Natural Bronze uses vegetable-derived tanning ingredients that develop a natural, warm tone rather than the orange finish associated with older self tanning formulas. The quick-dry, blendable formula absorbs seamlessly into skin for an even, streak-free result every time - especially when applied with a tanning mitt or blending brush.

Not at all! Palmer's Natural Bronze is formulated with a delicious creamy cocoa scent - a far cry from the biscuit smell that puts so many people off traditional self tanners. You can apply it before bed or wear it to work without a second thought.

Yes! Sunless tanning is a great way to achieve a golden glow without exposing your skin to harmful UV rays.

It's suitable for all skin tones and skin types, including your face.
