Shade
Depth is set by how many drops you mix in, so there is no shade to choose.
Shade
One universal finish. Nothing develops, so nothing to time.

Mousse and gradual both go on with a mitt. It is the difference between even colour and stained palms. £5.99
Mitt is in your bag

Shade
Drag Fair to Deep on the same skin. Only the skin darkens. Fabric, light and texture stay put.
Light to medium
Sun-kissed warmth on light-to-medium skin
One formula covers Fair through Deep. Leave it longer for more depth, rinse when you like the tone. First time, stop early and build again the next day.

Why this tan
Kaci and Grace started SOLSKIN for eczema and acne-prone skin that could not tolerate a typical tan. The brief is still the same: look like you, just warmer.
Hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and papaya. Dermatologically tested. No parabens, no sulfates, no biscuit smell.
Proof
Verified Trustpilot reviews, captured 31 August 2026. None of this is written by the brand.
“I have really bad eczema and most products dry out my eczema or flare it up really bad, but the gradual tan went on perfectly and if anything made my eczema better.”
“I have psoriasis and this is the only tan that doesn't emphasise it or come off like tiger bread. It also smells amazing which is a plus.”
“I struggled finding tan that didn't make me orange or green, and of course without that fake tan smell that lingers around. But this is none of that and leaves a flawless finish.”

Education
The mega menu is not enough. These sit on the page so first-time buyers can decide without hunting.
Start lighter than you think. Gradual for first-timers. Mousse when you want depth in one sitting.
Patch test. Skip broken skin. Our formulas are dermatologically tested and free from the usual tan irritants.
Read the storyBefore you buy
Answers taken from the live SOLSKIN policies and formulas. No small print.
The formulas are built to develop brown rather than orange, and the guide colour you see going on is not the finished tan. Rinse it off and what stays is the developed colour.
If you are very fair, rinse after one hour on the first go and build the next day. Most orange results come from leaving a tan on longer than the skin needed.
Every formula is dermatologically tested and non-irritating, free from parabens and sulfates, with hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and papaya extract. It is the reason the brand exists.
Skin is still individual. Patch test before the first full application and skip broken skin. SOLSKIN gives the same advice.
Rinse the guide colour before you sleep in it. Once the developed tan is exposed it is transfer-free.
Some people see light transfer in the first day. A proper rinse rather than a quick splash is what makes the difference.
