Ancestral Tanning Oil

Our Tanning Oil

Our tanning oil is designed to help you soak up the benefits of the sun, speed up the tanning process, and gradually increase your ability to stay in the sun longer. Inspired by the ancient Greeks and Romans—who understood the importance of sunlight for life and health—we’ve created an oil that makes tanning more effective and enjoyable.

Made from a blend of cold-pressed, traditional oils and powered by beta-carotene-rich carrot extract, this tanning oil helps you tan faster while supporting your skin’s natural adjustment to sun exposure. By boosting melanin levels in the outer layer of your skin, it promotes a deeper, golden tan.

Our tanning oil is completely natural, made with cold-pressed oils and contains zero toxic chemicals or petroleum. Here are some of the key ingredients:

• Cold-Pressed Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  Used for thousands of years in sun care, olive oil remains popular in Mediterranean tanning traditions. It attracts and concentrates UV rays onto the skin, stimulating melanocytes to produce more melanin. Rich in antioxidants like Vitamin E and polyphenols, it helps keep skin moisturised and protected.
  
• Carrot Juice Extract
  A powerful source of beta-carotene, rich in Vitamins A and E. It supports melanin production and helps maintain it in the outer skin layers, promoting faster tanning and longer-lasting colour. Its antioxidant properties also give the skin a natural bronzed glow.
  
• Argan Oil
  A highly nourishing oil packed with Vitamins A and E, antioxidants, fatty acids, and linoleic acid. It moisturises the skin and supports cell production thanks to its high tocopherol (Vitamin E) content.
  
• Almond & Hazelnut Oils
  Traditionally used in Mediterranean skincare, these oils are deeply hydrating and rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants, helping to protect and nourish the skin.
  
• Vitamin E
  A powerful antioxidant that helps reduce damage caused by free radicals. Stored in both the epidermis and dermis, it enhances skin protection, reduces inflammation, and boosts the effectiveness of the oil blend.
  

Our unique blend of pure essential oils—Frankincense, Myrrh, and Neroli—adds a luxurious scent that transports you to Mediterranean beaches.
