Step 3 tan extender with Vitatan®, an oil-free unisex lotion for a tan that keeps deepening

California Tan’s Coast Tan Extender is a tan extender, a ‘Step 3’ in the brand’s system. Like all California Tan extenders, it contains Vitatan®: melanin production carries on for several hours after UV exposure, so your tan keeps deepening after your session. This oil-free moisturising body lotion, rich in anti-ageing actives, is part of COAST, California Tan’s unisex collection. It complements an accelerator such as Palm & Agave Step 1.

What does California Tan’s Coast Tan Extender do?

A tan extender goes on after UV exposure, as a moisturising body lotion. Coast Tan Extender goes further than a simple moisturiser: its Vitatan® keeps melanin production going continuously, for up to several hours after your tanning session or time in the sun, so your sun-kissed colour keeps developing.

Its unique oil-free formula absorbs quickly and completely. The silicones in the formula help keep the skin hydrated.

Coast Tan Extender Step 3 key ingredients

  • Vitatan®: the complex found in California Tan’s extenders, for continuous melanin production after UV exposure.
  • Alpine lichen: a silvery lichen that provides usnic acid, a powerful antioxidant with a soothing, clarifying action. It also masks the odour of sun-exposed skin.
  • White birch bark: a pure sap with rejuvenating and astringent properties that reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Energy cocktail: protein, ginseng and taurine, to keep skin cells working at full capacity.
  • CT Protect: gives the skin essential nutrients and a barrier against free radicals, and so against skin damage.
  • Plant extracts: the formula also contains extracts of fucus (bladderwrack), coleus, pea, pumpkin seed, avocado, broccoli, parsley and rocket, plus rose water, urea and vitamin E.

How to use Coast Tan Extender

Apply Coast Tan Extender after your tanning session or time in the sun, to clean, dry skin, and massage in until fully absorbed. Use it every day, like a body lotion. It contains no SPF: it isn’t a sun cream.

Step 1, Step 2, Step 3: where does California Tan Coast Tan Extender fit?

  • The accelerator (Step 1 or Step 2) goes on before your session: it prepares your skin and boosts your tan during UV exposure, like Palm & Agave Step 1.
  • The tan extender (Step 3), such as Coast Tan Extender, goes on afterwards: it moisturises, keeps melanin production going and makes your tan last.
