Alba Botanica Sunless Tanner, Gradual Bronzing Moisturizer, with Vitamin C and Shea Butter, 4 Oz (Packaging May Vary)

I like the fact it is a lotion, so tanning is not a two step process. I'm not usually into the botanic stuff, but the price was right so gave it a chance. Pleasantly surprised. Moisturizing but not greasy. Dries down quickly. I use a self tanner daily on my lower legs only. Has a nice color, not orange-y. Doesn't streak. It does have a bit of a smell at first but it's gone in about 10 minutes. And it's not that smell of the old skool tanners. I would repurchase.

It truly creates a beautiful natural tan—not at all streaky or blotchy. For me, reapplication is necessary about every other day…..maybe every 2 days. But it definitely isn’t an every day thing. This is my go to vegan self-tanner. It’s significantly less expensive than other vegan self-tanners—but it works GREAT!! It’s a beautiful tan. I’ve gotten many compliments—when I tell people it’s a self-tanner, they’re always very surprised. It’s NOT overly bronze, orange, or fake looking. Very natural and beautiful color. I’ve been hardcore vegan for somewhere between 31 and 32 years. I only use vegan products…… non-vegan is never an option. I must say vegan skin care, hair care, body care, make up is the best anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️😊…..This is absolutely true of Alba Botanica Sunless Tanner. I highly recommend any vegan product by Alba……I’m pretty sure not every single thing Alba makes is vegan, but the Alba products I use definitely are completely vegan and they’re great. BIG thumbs up to my fellow vegans…..and anybody else who wants a beautiful very natural sunless tan. About the photos—I’ve been using Alba sunless tanner for years. I’m sure I had a light natural Alba sunless-tan in all these pics. My natural skin tone is very fair. I’ve got notable color in all these images.

This works pretty well. Slightly orangy, but I expected that. Better than ghost white lol. So this does not have the usual gross self tanner smell that all of them seem to have and if I had to choose a scent for this product, I'd say cotton candy is pretty spot on and that's not a bad scent, but be prepared because it is overpowering. Again, smells good but it will interfere with your perfume if you wear it. Quite moisturizing as well.

I love this lotion. Light scent, just enough color so that I don't look like a ghost!

Pros: the smell. Every self-tanner I’ve ever used just smells kind of unpleasant. This one actually smells good and doesn’t have that fake-tan smell to it. I also like that it’s a lotion, so it’s easy to use and is also moisturizing. Cons: I never got a tan. I’m fair skinned, and even after many many reapplies, no color :( I made sure I followed the directions: clean skin, apply, let dry for at least 15 min, stay out of water etc. for at least 3 hours, then reapply if you want to deepen the color. I would reapply every 3 hours multiple times throughout the day, and I never noticed a change in my skin tone. I can’t blame this on the product, because who knows, it may just be my skin type! Overall, it didn’t work for me, but the price is affordable so I won’t complain too much! ;)

This sunless tanner is so nice, I love everything about it. The smell is light and I think it smells really good, kind of like bubble gum. I had my husby sniff me after I put it on, and he thought it smelled really good too. The color is very natural looking, on my skin it does not look orange at all. Like I read in other reviews, it is more yellowish than orange color, which works for me as I have a yellow tone to my skin. I'ts not a gradual tan for me either, I put a normal ammount on after my shower, not a lot not a little, and i really noticed the color the next day, as did my husby and a friend, and i ddnt even exfoliate beforehand. It does not leave any streaks at all, not that I have noticed. It seems to blend beautifully. I like the fact that it is more natural than most of the self tanners on the market, and overall it is an awesome value! I am one happy, slightly tanner gal.

WARNING! I tried to return this product, but received a message that there are NO REFUNDS. I didn't see that note when I bought it, but I just looked on the Amazon product page and I see the note now. Bummer! This product smells like a Hawaiian day right out of the tube, but within about 30 minutes of putting it on my legs, a putrid smell developed, which then permeated the air! My husband walked into the room and said, "YUCK! What is that SMELL?! It smells like URINE!" "Oh, that's me!" "You PEED?!" "NO!!! It's tanning cream! It stinks, huh?!" With a crunched up face, "YES!" This urine smell got everywhere, even though I only put it on my legs. I can't imagine the trouble I would have been in if I put it on my whole body or, God forbid, my face! Eek! I, mistakenly, thought that the smell would go away overnight, so I went to bed. Oh my goodness! What an awful sleep! We felt like we were sleeping in a urinal. We toughed it out, because I really wanted a beautiful tan (my skin is alabaster). What a mistake! By the morning, the stench multiplied and it was on everything! Screw the tan! I stink! I jumped into the shower and scrubbed my legs with a washcloth and soap 3 times in a row and they still stunk! I had to wash my sheets and blanket (even though they were fresh the night before); and hand wash my precious stuffed animal (yes, I sleep with a stuffed animal). "Poor Pinkie! I'm sorry, girl!" Even two weeks later, the faint smell of urine saturates my nostrils. I get migraine attacks from smells, so that sucks. If you are sensitive to smell, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I will say my legs looked tan, but who cares how nice your tan looks if everyone you encounter thinks you've peed yourself.

My legs haven’t seen the light of day in quite a while. I have tried 2-3 self tanners in that time and all I was left with was orange patches and horrible smells. I tried this one due to the mostly positive reviews and I have to say I am impressed! It gave a subtle tan to my ghost white legs and not orange at all. The smell wasn’t too bad and went away after showering so that was a huge plus. I loved the fact that it went on evenly and turned out natural (even around my knees and ankles!) I used the product twice in one day to see if it would get darker but I didn’t see a change, which was fine. If you just want a hint of natural color, definitely buy this!! It gave me the confidence to wear shorts and go outside to work on a real tan (and not blind anyone with my legs).

Me encanta el bronceado que deja no mancha, no irrita y no se borra luego luego con el baño, al mismo tiempo deja la piel hidratada

Molto naturale, facile da spalmare, non arancione. Mi piace!

Acheté aux États Unis, je suis ravie de pouvoir me m’en faire livrer en France ! Ce produit est parfait. Très bon rendu, peau hâlée dès la première application!

Great to find a cruelty free self tanner. Doesn't have a strong smell thankfully and is easy to use a one application leaves golden colour. You can add a second application if you want a deeper colour. Lasts a good few days. Delighted!

Coloration très légère et naturelle après une application. Si vous chercher un effet léger ce produit est pour vous.
