Soleo Coffee Sun Black Espresso - Strong tanning accelerator with bronzers

A bronzer is a tanning accelerator that also contains bronzing agents such as DHA: as well as stimulating melanin, the pigment behind your tan, it colours the skin itself. Black Espresso from the Coffee Sun range is designed for people who tan regularly on sunbeds and love the dark browns of well-roasted coffee.

The lotion gives the skin a beautiful dark tan shade and improves its overall look and condition. It hydrates, nourishes and regenerates the skin after your session, then firms and smooths it. The tan lasts.

DHA and erythrulose react with the surface of the skin without needing UV: the colour shows straight away. Our advice: DHA doesn’t create the colour, it transforms it. When melanin is working hard, a tan can turn dull, and a touch of DHA makes it more coppery and radiant. For your first sessions and fair skin, choose a bronzer-free accelerator instead, such as Surf from the Soleo Classic range, which also contains hemp oil, or Hello Sun from the Soleo Basic range.

• DHA and erythrulose: the two bronzers in the formula, for a dark, deep tan that shows quickly.
• Walnut extract: a plant-based bronzing ingredient that adds to the action of DHA and erythrulose.
• Hemp oil: Black Espresso’s signature oil, hydrating and with anti-ageing properties.
• Tyrosine and beta-carotene: tyrosine is the amino acid your skin uses to make melanin; it speeds up your natural tan.
• Safflower oil, shea butter and panthenol: they hydrate the skin, soothe irritation, nourish and regenerate.
• Caffeine: an energising boost for the skin.
• Vitamins A, E and C: they protect the skin from free radicals and premature ageing.
• Collagen and aloe vera: collagen is one of the signature actives, and aloe vera juice comes first on the list, right after water. The formula also contains glycerin, elastin and glucosamine.

Just before your tanning session, apply an even layer of Black Espresso lotion all over your body, then wash your hands thoroughly. For external use only. To deepen your tan and keep it longer, use it before every sunbed visit. Stick to the session time recommended by your salon to avoid burning.

The 150ml bottle suits regular sunbed users, who use it at every session. The 15ml sachet lets you try Black Espresso before buying the bottle.
