The sun hasn’t quite made an appearance yet this year. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up 5 of the best organic self-tanners so that you can transition into the new season with a natural glow. 

Green People Self Tan Lotion £22 for 150ml

This certified organic formula from Green People is made using 89% certified organic ingredients, that work together to build a healthy and natural-looking tan in just 3-4 hours, sans sun exposure. Containing zero parabens, phthalates, sulphates this product contains no nasties that could potentially act as a hormone disruptor. Quick-drying and non-greasy, this easy to use product has a light scent from natural essential oils, to mask the common fake tan smell. 

The Organic Pharmacy Self Tan £38 for 100ml 

Made with Ecocert-approved DHA derived from natural Sugar Beets mixed with a blend of Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Sesame Oil, this nourishing formula conditions the skin while blending quickly and easily for a streak-free glow in just 3 hours. A mild fresh scent of apricot is a welcome alternative to the usual wark biscuit fug. Apply every two days and you’ll remain bronzed throughout spring and beyond. 

Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Water £18.95 for 200ml

Tanning waters are the new kid on the block when it comes to getting a glow but they certainly give the old school mousse, gel, cream and other formulas a good run for their money. Colour correcting actives are combined with a green (it’s not as scary as it sounds) base, for a golden glow with no streaks, smells, or orange tones. The organic and vegan certified formula is packed chock-a-block with organic tanning actives, plus avocado, chia seed and coconut oils, for a natural and hydrated glow.
