Details & care

What it is: A lotion that helps deliver a healthy year-round tan and toned-looking body without the hassle of travel.

What it does: A unique sugar beet-derived DHA delivers a natural runway-ready glow, while an exotic blend of green caffeine, alaria esculenta seaweed and pea extract help offer a more tightened and toned appearance. Baobab oil, harvested from the mythical tree of life, delivers an abundance of vitamins A, D and E to enhance skin's recovery from free radicals and sun damage.

How to use: For maximum color, dispense a quarter-sized amount into the palm of your hand and spread evenly across your body. Massage in circular motions and let dry before dressing. Allow 2–4 hours for the tan to fully develop and reapply as needed. Allow 6–8 hours before showering. For best results, exfoliate skin prior to use.

Happy with color and glow

When placing my order, I didn't notice this was a gradual tanning lotion. Disappointed...however, after one application I had a nice colored glow. After another application the next day, I had even more color and glow. Now I am good for a few days. There hasn't been much choice with tanning lotions this year and I practically tried then all and returned. I am surprised I ended up liking the Coola and have already purchased a second tubel.

Lid Cannot Close

Not sure if this is just the one I received, but the lid does not have a spot that keeps it secured close. There is no way I’m pulling the protective foil off to allow this to ooze out all over my bathroom cabinet. No thanks. Returning

AMAZING tanning lotion!!!

I LOVE this creme!!! I am obsessed with finding the right sunless tanning lotion/....I had been using Clarins and love that also.....but when I saw this and saw it was 70% organic....I had to try it! It goes on like a thin lotion and it actually smells nice! A mild coconut smell and absorbs easliy.......But hands down the BEST part is you see RESULTS......a NICE EVEN GLOW.....the next morning!!! I put it on after the shower and in the morning look like I got a nice glow by the pool... It is a really nice even color and is not orange or yellow at all!! It is an AMAZING product.....BUY IT It is WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!! 5 STARS!!!!!!

my new favorite sunless tanner!

I have very sensitive skin, particularly with bronzers, so I was afraid to try something new. Im SO glad I did- oh I love this self tanner lotion. It smells amazing, the color is fantastic, and it doesn’t make me break out or itch at all. There is no orangey tint at all, and the fact that it doesnt smell like a self tanner is amazing! New favorite! Cant wait to try this brand’s other products

Pretty glow; easy to apply

I was intimidated about using this, after not having used self-tanner since my teens (20+ years ago). However, this used with the scrubbing/application mitt (sold separately, but get it!) in the shower beforehand yielded a really pretty glow. I used it on my whole body. It may have irritated the skin on my face a little bit, as the next few days had me with bumpier skin. Despite that, I was really pleased. I did this routine in the morning when I was home alone: I pulled all of the blinds shut and let the lotion soak in while I did things around the house in the nude so as to not stain my clothing. The color started appearing in about 4 hours or less, but really was evident the next day. I did also rub in regular lotion on my knees, ankles, elbows, and face prior to applying this lotion.

Will try another brand

This is VERY runny, and since it stands on its lid, when you open it the product immediately runs out. Hard to control the amount dispensed. Dripped on my white mat (I couldn't see it until it darkened and then I couldn't get the spots out). Also, it is a much more yellow tan than other brands I have used. Tone & tighten, I couldn't tell.

BEST SELF TAN EVER

I won't name names but I've tried at least 5 highly rated name brand self-tanning products. Some streak, some have an unnatural color, some last maybe a couple days. This product hasn't streaked and gives me an overall long lasting natural tan. I moisturize my elbows, knees..all super dry bony areas of my body first. Then use the product. Highly recommend.
