Bronsea is a tanning accelerator designed to help you achieve a deeper, more enhanced tan.

We currently offer two separate products: Our Tanning Cream and Tanning Balm. They are not designed to be used together, and both are equally effective.

The Tanning Cream can be used for both outdoor tanning and sunbeds, while the Tanning Balm is designed for outdoor tanning only.

You can also purchase the Duo to save money.

What does Bronsea smell like?
Bronsea currently comes in two lightly scented options: Coconut Balm and Mango Cream. Both have a subtle, fresh scent designed to complement your tanning experience.

What is the difference between the cream and balm?
Both products are designed to help you achieve a deeper, more enhanced tan and are equally effective.

The Tanning Cream is suitable for both outdoor tanning and sunbeds, making it the better option if you use sunbeds. The Tanning Balm is designed for outdoor tanning only and has a richer, more oily consistency.

They are two separate products and are not designed to be used together.

How much product do I get?
Both the Bronsea Tanning Cream and Tanning Balm contain 200ml of product.

Do I need to patch test Bronsea?
Yes. We recommend patch testing the product before your first full application.

No. Bronsea does not contain SPF or provide UV protection. It should not be used as a substitute for sunscreen.

Can I use Bronsea with sunscreen?
Yes. Bronsea should always be used alongside sun cream when tanning outdoors. Bronsea does not contain SPF, so it does not protect your skin from UV rays. Without sun cream, you can burn. Always apply a suitable SPF and follow sun-safety guidance.

No. Bronsea is a tanning accelerator, not a traditional self-tanner. It is designed to help enhance and deepen your natural tan when tanning in the sun or on a sunbed, rather than instantly colouring the skin.

Which product is right for me?
It depends on the texture you prefer. The Cream has a lighter texture, while the Balm has a richer, more oily feel. If you use sunbeds, we recommend choosing the Cream as it offers a convenient two-in-one option for both outdoor tanning and use on sunbeds.

Which is better for dry skin?
Both can be used on dry skin. The Balm has a richer texture, while the Cream feels lighter on the skin.

Can I switch between the Cream and Balm?
Yes, you can switch between the Cream and Balm depending on your preferred texture.

Can I use the Cream and Balm together?
No, there is no need to use them together. They are designed to be used separately, so simply choose the product you prefer.

Why does the Balm change consistency?
The Balm can soften or melt when exposed to heat or direct sunlight. This is completely normal. Once returned to room temperature, it will harden back to its original consistency.

Apply Bronsea before tanning and reapply after swimming or whenever the product has worn off. For outdoor tanning, always use Bronsea alongside a suitable sun cream.

How should I store it?
Store Bronsea in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Always keep the lid securely closed when not in use.

Does the balm melt?
Yes. Due to its natural ingredients, the balm may soften or melt when exposed to heat or direct sunlight. This is completely normal. Once returned to room temperature, it will harden back to its original consistency.

Please be careful when opening the balm, especially if it has been exposed to heat, as the contents may be softer or more liquid than usual.

Do I need to patch test Bronsea?
Yes. We recommend patch testing Bronsea before your first use. Apply a small amount to a small area of skin and wait to check for any reaction before applying more widely.

Please check the full ingredient list on the product packaging or product page before use. If you have any known allergies or sensitivities, check the ingredients carefully before applying.

Can I use Bronsea if I have sensitive skin?
Bronsea may be suitable for sensitive skin, but everyone’s skin is different. We recommend carrying out a patch test before use. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
