LUNDIRA accelerates your skin's natural tanning process. Our carrot extract is rich in beta-carotene, which stimulates melanin production — the pigment responsible for your tan. Combined with amino acid actives that support your skin's melanin pathways, the formula helps you tan faster, deeper, and more evenly than sun exposure alone. The coconut oil and calendula keep your skin hydrated and soothed throughout the process.

No — LUNDIRA is a tanning accelerator, not a sunscreen. It does not contain SPF or UV filters. Always apply your favorite sunscreen alongside LUNDIRA for protected, safe sun exposure. Used together, they are the perfect summer duo: LUNDIRA gives you a deeper, richer tan while your SPF keeps your skin protected.

Most customers notice enhanced tanning acceleration from the very first use. Your tan will be noticeably deeper and more even after a single sun session compared to unprotected exposure. For best results, use LUNDIRA consistently throughout the season — color depth builds beautifully with regular use.

Yes. LUNDIRA has been tested on sensitive skin and is formulated with soothing calendula extract to minimize irritation. The formula is also non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog your pores. That said, if you have a known allergy to any of the listed ingredients, please review the full ingredient list before use.

LUNDIRA is formulated for body use. If you apply it to the face, keep it well away from the eye area — the formula is not designed for the sensitive skin around the eyes. We recommend doing a small patch test first if you plan to use it on facial skin.

The rich botanical formula may leave traces on fabric — particularly lighter colors. These traces wash out completely in a regular laundry cycle with standard detergent. We recommend allowing the gel to fully absorb before dressing, and using a darker towel after application as a precaution.

Apply generously and evenly over your entire body before sun exposure, massaging in with circular motions until fully absorbed. Reapply frequently throughout your session — especially after swimming, toweling off, or sweating. Consistent reapplication keeps the tanning acceleration working at full intensity. Always follow with your SPF.

Yes on both counts. LUNDIRA is cruelty-free and formulated without parabens. We are committed to creating products that are effective, safe, and responsibly made.
