COATED is more than just a tan; it’s a confidence movement. Our formulas are made with over 95% natural and organic ingredients, proudly vegan, cruelty-free and free from parabens. Every product is consciously crafted to give you a flawless glow while being kind to your skin and the planet.

Unlike other brands, COATED is:

• Free from parabens and harsh chemicals
• Vegan and cruelty-free
• Infused with skin-loving ingredients
• Available in multi-base formulas (green, violet & clear)
• Designed for natural-looking depth
  

We focus on editorial-worthy results with clean formulations, so your glow looks elevated, feels lightweight, and fades beautifully.

• Green Base: Best for fair to medium skin tones or anyone who tends to burn easily. Neutralises red/pink undertones for a natural golden bronze.
• Violet Base: Perfect for olive to deeper skin tones. Balances yellow/sallow undertones for a rich, deep brown glow.
• Clear Base: Ideal for lighter complexions, sensitive skin, or first-time tanners. Develops gradually for a subtle, natural radiance.

If you’re new to tanning or prefer a natural glow, start with Medium/Dark. For deeper, bronzed results, choose Ultra-Dark. Your undertone also matters. COATED offers green, violet, and clear bases to suit different skin tones and prevent orange results.

For best results, leave on for 1–3 hours for a natural glow or 6–8 hours for a deeper result. Rinse with lukewarm water only — no soap initially.

On average, COATED tans last 5–7 days with the right prep and aftercare. Exfoliating before application and keeping your skin hydrated will help extend the life of your glow.

Yes. Our products are made with natural and organic ingredients, which are free from parabens and harsh chemicals. If you have very sensitive skin, we always recommend patch testing first.

For best results:

DAY BEFORE:

• Exfoliate from head to toe - buff away old tan, dry skin & any product build-up
• Shave, wax or epilate - your pores need time to close to avoid any tiny dark dots or an uneven finish
• Moisturise - hydrated skin absorbs tan more evenly

DAY OF:

• Start with clean, dry skin free of moisturiser, deodorant and perfume
• Wear loose clothing

AFTERCARE:

• Rinse gently - after your tan development time, rinse with lukewarm water.
• Pat dry with a towel - Don't Rub!
• Avoid any water/sweating for at least 2-3 hours
• Avoid chlorinated waters for 36 hours
• Moisturise daily to keep skin hydrated -Focus on elbows, knees, wrists & ankles
• Choose non-oily, fragrance-free lotions
• Avoid harsh exfoliants like body scrubs, AHAs/BHAs, & rough towels
• Shower smart - use gentle, non-stripping products & avoid long, hot showers

This helps your tan last longer.

Our clear base won’t transfer. Guide colour formulas may have minimal transfer during development. Always wear loose, dark clothing and allow the tan to dry fully.

For hygiene reasons, we can’t accept returns or offer refunds on tanning mousses. If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, we’ll happily send a replacement at no extra cost — just contact us within 14 days with photo evidence.

For non-tanning items, returns may be accepted on a case-by-case basis if the product is unused and in its original packaging. In these cases, an in-store credit may be issued, valid for 3 years.

For full details, please visit our Refunds & Returns Policy page.

For best results, remove old tan completely before reapplying to avoid uneven colour buildup.

While COATED is made with clean, skin-friendly ingredients, we always recommend checking with your healthcare provider before tanning during pregnancy.

No. Our self-tan does not contain SPF. Always apply sunscreen when exposed to the sun.

Hands and feet are exposed to more washing and friction. Apply lightly and blend carefully, using only leftover product on your mitt or leftover product from your face & body brush.

Yes! Overnight development is perfect for deeper shades. Just wear loose, dark clothing and allow your tan to fully dry before bed.

The guide colour washes off during the first rinse. Your true bronze continues to develop for up to 24 hours.

Self-tan absorbs into dry skin more intensely. Always exfoliate and apply a light moisturiser to elbows, knees, ankles and wrists before tanning.

No! Each base is designed to suit different undertones and skintones. It’s all about matching your skin, not fixing it!
