About this formulation
The formula is built on a high-performance aloe vera and hyaluronic acid hydration base, thickened with a cosmetic carbomer gel system to create the characteristic clear, lightweight gel texture. Carrot extract and beta-carotene accelerate and deepen the natural tan by stimulating melanin production, while allantoin and panthenol work in tandem to soothe sun-stressed skin, reduce redness, and accelerate post-exposure recovery — making this as effective as an after-sun treatment as it is a tan accelerator.
Developed with the UAE climate in mind, the gel format is particularly well-suited to high-heat, high-humidity environments where heavy emollient products feel uncomfortable. It cools on contact, absorbs instantly with no white residue, and leaves skin feeling fresh and hydrated — an ideal product for hotel amenity collections, spa retail shelves, beach and pool concessions, gym recovery lines, and post-treatment clinic recommendations where guest comfort after sun exposure is a priority.
Fully customizable — fragrance, active concentrations, gel viscosity (light aqua gel to firm body gel), tint (clear, translucent green, tinted bronze), and packaging (tube, pump, flip cap). Manufactured under ISO 22716 GMP at our Hamriyah Freezone facility in Sharjah, UAE. Compliant for export to the EU, GCC, Saudi Arabia (SFDA), and USA (USFDA). Sample and quote within 24–48 hours.
Key benefits
- Oil-free, non-greasy formula — the tan gel for guests who find oils too heavy, ideal for gym, clinic, and active lifestyle sectors
- Instantly cooling on application — aloe vera and water-gel base provide immediate relief on sun-heated skin
- Tan-accelerating — beta-carotene and carrot extract deepen and extend the natural tan without self-tanning agents
- Post-sun recovery — allantoin and panthenol calm redness, reduce peeling, and support skin barrier repair
What's Inside?
Soothing — Hero Base
Aloe Vera
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice The foundational active of this formulation. Aloe vera provides the characteristic cooling, soothing sensation that defines the tan gel experience. Instantly calms heat and redness from sun exposure, reduces inflammation, and delivers immediate hydration — the most universally trusted after-sun ingredient across all consumer segments globally.
Hydration
Hyaluronic Acid (Dual MW)
Sodium Hyaluronate — High & Low Molecular Weight High molecular weight HA forms a moisture-locking film on the skin surface for immediate, visible plumping. Low MW HA penetrates deeper for sustained 24-hour hydration. Together they address both the surface tightness and deeper dehydration caused by prolonged sun exposure — a premium active that elevates this formula well above standard after-sun gels.
Tan Accelerator
Carrot Extract / Beta-Carotene
Daucus Carota Sativa Root Extract Natural beta-carotene stimulates melanin production to deepen and prolong a natural golden tan. Adds a warm amber undertone to the finished gel, visible as a very subtle translucent tint that reinforces the product's tanning credentials at point of sale. Provides strong "natural" and "clean beauty" brand positioning for retail and hospitality markets alike
Soothing
Allantoin
Allantoin Promotes cell regeneration, softens and smooths sun-stressed skin, and calms redness and irritation caused by UV exposure. A powerful complement to aloe vera — while aloe provides the immediate cooling sensation, allantoin works at a deeper level to accelerate recovery and reduce post-sun peeling. Essential for clinic, spa, and after-sport applications.

Ideal for your sector
Hotels & Resorts
In-room & pool amenity The lightweight, clean gel format works exceptionally well as a compact in-room amenity or poolside concession product. A 100ml flip-cap tube with the hotel's name is a memorable and practical touch for sun-active resort stays across the UAE and GCC.
Spa & Wellness Centers
After-treatment & retail Recommended as a post-body treatment product for clients receiving sun-related or skin-recovery treatments. The aloe and hyaluronic acid base aligns naturally with wellness-oriented retail positioning, and the oil-free formula appeals to spa clients who dislike heavy products.
Gyms & Fitness Clubs
Outdoor fitness & recovery The oil-free, non-greasy gel is perfectly positioned for outdoor gym members, CrossFit athletes, padel players, and runners who are sun-exposed during training. A tan gel under your gym brand communicates skin-care awareness and differentiates your retail offering from standard sunscreen-only ranges.
Clinics & Medical Centers
Post-procedure skin care A clinic-branded tan gel for post-laser, post-peel, or post-treatment clients requiring gentle sun care. The oil-free, soothing formula with allantoin and panthenol is ideal for recently treated skin. Can be upgraded with PDRN stem cell, niacinamide, or alpha arbutin for medical-grade sun recovery positioning.
Retail Brands
Pool & beach concession essential A tan gel sits perfectly alongside the shimmer oil and natural tan oil at a beach club concession — appealing to guests who prefer a lighter, oil-free format. Position it as the "cooling tan booster" for midday and afternoon application when oils feel too heavy in peak UAE heat.
