Is eco tanner worth the money? I Sassy Organics

Eco tanner is a natural alternative to traditional self tanners. Typically, this product contains no harmful chemicals and is free of parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, and other toxins found in most commercial self tanning products.

Does it work?

I've been using eco tanners for years now and I love it! It's so easy to use and my skin feels amazing after each application. I love how quickly it absorbs into my skin and also like how it smells so good. I recommend it to everyone who wants to try something new without breaking the bank.

Gradual tanners provide a lovely colour, while moisturising your skin. It works for everyone, even if you have sensitive skin, unless you are allergic to DHA, which is commonly used in tanning products. In that case, I would recommend an Aussie Bronze DHA free tan, which is an instant tan and washes off in the shower. You can learn more about DHA free tanning here

Is it worth the money?

I think it's definitely worth the price tag. You're getting a product that will last you for months at a time and it's made with natural ingredients. If you're looking for a good organic, low cost tanner, I would recommend Wotnot eco tanner. Wotnot is an Australian brand and they produce great quality, certified organic self tanners at a very affordable price. They have recently won a number of awards, highlighting their commitment to toxin free beauty.

If you are after something more luxe and premium, then I recommend Eco Tan eco tanner. Eco Tan is one of Australia’s first certified organic tanning brand. It's also certified toxin free, vegan and cruelty free.

Considering the average spray tan cost around $50 and lasts between 7-10 days, then the cost of the gradual eco tanner is cost effective in comparison. With an average cost of $30 per bottle or tube, you are likely to get at least 4-5 uses. That’s approximately $6 per each use.

Can I trust it?

I've been using eco tanners for years now and I can't fault them. I use it once or twice a week as I am quite pale and having a tan on makes me look and feel a lot healthier. It also works as a moisturiser after my shower and it works really well to keep my skin moisturised, especially during winter months.

At Sassy Organics, we stock only the best organic tans with premium, non toxic ingredients. Most of our eco tanners are certified organic, meaning that products have undergone strict testing and contain at least 95% of organic ingredients. They are free from sulphates, petrochemicals, PEGs, parabens, caustics, glycols and artificial fragrances. As such, you can trust those products and using them even several times a day will not expose you to any risk.

Wotnot eco tanner is suitable for sensitive skin and is safe to be used during pregnancy. Of course, if you have any concerns it is recommended that you seek advice from your medical practitioner.

Do I need to use it every day?

No, you don't need to use it every day. With most eco tanners, you only need to use it once or twice a week. If you're looking for a good gradual moisturising tanner, then award winning Eco Tan Winter Skin is definitely one of the best ones out there. You can use this one more than once or twice a week, just like a moisturiser which gradually builds on a beautiful tan.

Self tanners provide you with a convenience as you can use it in the comfort of your home, any time you like. You get the salon results without having to leave your home.

Plus, home tanners fade naturally, which is a bonus. No dry, flaky skin, which can make your skin look patchy.

Will it make me look orange?

If you're looking for a natural alternative to traditional and chemical self tanners, then you’ve come to the right place. Our tanning products contain no artificial dyes or fragrances and they won’t make you look orange. These are gradual tanners that will provide a glowing sun kissed tan without orange patches.

You also have the option to choose from light, medium and ultra dark tans. So, if you have a pale skin like me, then you probably should opt for a tanner suitable for lighter skin such as Eco tan Winter Skin, Wotnot Gradual Tanning Lotion or Zuii Organic Gradual Body Tan Lotion. For those with medium to olive skin tones, I would recommend either Eco Tan Invisible Tan or Wotnot Self Tan Mousse Ultra Dark. All recommended products can be purchased below.
