The Clean Girl’s Guide to Self Tanner

By Tallowtan

Self tanner is back — but not the streaky, smelly kind you grew up with.

Today’s clean beauty girls want glow without garbage, and most sunless tanners? Still packed with synthetic dyes, drying alcohols, and ingredients your skin hates.

🚫 What’s In Most Self Tanners?

  • Fragrance/parfum (linked to hormone disruption)
  • Drying alcohols that wreck your skin barrier
  • Cheap synthetic DHA from unknown sources
  • Sticky silicones that clog pores
  • And that unmistakable fake tan smell

Most formulas are built for fast results, not long-term skin health — and clean beauty girls know better.

✅ What a Clean Self Tanner *Should* Look Like

  • 🌿 Transparent ingredients (you should know every single one)
  • 💧 Skin-first actives like niacinamide, panthenol, and hyaluronic acid
  • 🐮 Nourishing base oils — like grass-fed tallow, not petroleum
  • ❌ No dyes, synthetic fragrance, or orange streaks

💛 Tallowtan: The First *Truly* Clean Self Tanner

We didn’t just remove the bad stuff — we added in the best:

  • ✔️ Grass-fed tallow (vitamins A, D, E, K + CLA)
  • ✔️ Skincare-grade actives: niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, panthenol
  • ✔️ DHA + erythrulose for a natural-looking, even tan
  • ✔️ Real vanilla bean infusion or completely unscented

This isn’t just a tanner. It’s a treatment that glows.
