Product Overview
This body lotion is designed by the brand Palmer’s to provide not just hydration but also a “sun‑kissed” tint to the skin — a gradual bronze effect all year round. According to the official description, the formula uses a “vegetable‑based tanning ingredient sourced from sugar beets” (DHA alternative) along with ethically and sustainably sourced extra virgin coconut oil and Tahitian Monoï oil to nourish skin and deliver a healthy‑looking bronze glow.
It is claimed to be quick‑drying, has no artificial colours, and comes with a creamy coconut scent. It is free of parabens, mineral oils, phthalates and dyes.
In short: a moisturising lotion + gradual tan booster in one.

Why Choose This Product?
Here are some reasons you might pick this lotion:
- If you’re looking for a gradual and subtle bronze glow without exposure to direct sun or harsh tanning sprays, this is a good option.
- If your skin is dry or lacking moisture, and you want something that hydrates and enhances glow (rather than only colour).
- If you appreciate natural/ethical ingredients — the coconut oil is Fair Trade Certified and sustainably sourced, and the formulation avoids certain common chemical additives.
- If you like a tropical coconut scent and a body lotion texture (versus a heavy tan cream or oil).
- If you prefer an all‑in‑one: moisturiser + colour enhancer, rather than separate products.
On the flip side:
- If you want a very deep tan or dramatic colour change, this may not deliver that level — it’s gradual.
- If you have extremely oily or acne‑prone skin and prefer ultra‑matte finishes, you may need to test how this feels on you.
- It doesn’t replace sun‑protection (SPF) — the product is about tan/glow, not UV protection.
