Support a Radiant, Sun-Kissed Glow
Frequently Asked Questions
How do tanning gummies work to support a deeper tan?
Tanning support gummies work through two mechanisms. First, carotenoid pigments such as beta-carotene and lycopene deposit in the skin over time and contribute a warm, golden undertone that enhances the appearance of a tan without UV exposure. Second, antioxidant nutrients such as Vitamin E, selenium, and astaxanthin protect skin cells from UV-induced oxidative stress, allowing the skin's natural melanin production to operate more efficiently and produce a deeper, more even tan when sun exposure does occur.
Do I still need sunscreen if I am taking these gummies?
Absolutely yes. Tanning gummies do not provide any UV protection and should never be used as a substitute for sunscreen. The antioxidant ingredients may provide mild support against oxidative sun damage at the cellular level, but this does not translate to meaningful SPF protection. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher when outdoors.
How long before I see the skin tone enhancement effect?
The carotenoid skin tone effect from beta-carotene builds gradually over 4 to 6 weeks of consistent daily use as the pigments accumulate in the skin's fatty layer. The enhancement of your UV tan response becomes noticeable after 3 to 4 weeks of supplementation combined with moderate, protected sun exposure.
Is beta-carotene intake from supplements safe?
Beta-carotene from supplements is generally safe for most people. In very high doses over extended periods, it can cause a harmless and reversible orange discolouration of the skin (carotenodermia), particularly on the palms and soles. More importantly, high-dose beta-carotene supplements above 20mg daily have been linked to increased lung cancer risk in people who are current or heavy former smokers. People who smoke should consult their doctor before taking beta-carotene supplements.
