Sun protection meets
For all the sun lovers..
We felt the sun care industry was a very polarized space, on one hand you have those who diligently apply sunscreen every single day, and on the other hand you have those a little more reckless - dangerously lathering up in oil in search for that perfect tan.
But what about those of us in the middle? Tan Smart was meant to bridge the gap between dangerous tanning habits and messy self-tanner, effectively and safely offering the best of both worlds. A natural tan and healthy, radiant skin.

How does it work?
Each and every day, the sun emits UV rays into the earth’s atmosphere. Of those that travel millions of miles to reach our skin, UVA rays contribute to premature aging, while overexposure to UVB rays are the cause of sunburns. That's why it’s crucial to always use broad-spectrum UV protection, as it shields your skin from both types of rays.
Still vying for that perfect, golden tan?
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Use Tan Smart SPF 20 to enhance your gorgeous glow with the same tan-enhancing ingredients found in our ultra-popular Base Tan formula. This allows you to achieve your maximum bronze without sacrificing sun protection.

Instructions
Tan Smart is for when you plan on being out in the sun
Apply liberally and evenly, 15 minutes before sun exposure.
Re-apply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, at least every 2 hours.
To maximize your tanning potential, we suggest you prepare your skin with Base Tan for a minimum of 5-7 days prior to sun exposure.
*The key difference between Base Tan and Tan Smart is that this product offers SPF 20 protection. They both offer the same Tan Boosting technology at the same concentration, but Tan Smart is for during sun exposure - Base Tan is for before.

Love this sunscreen!
I love being tan and am always out in the sun. Now that I'm in make ~ late 20s ~ I've wanted to be tan while still wearing protection from the sun. Highly recommend!

Fiinally
I feel like this is the product I’ve been waiting for my whole life. I love getting sun but started being more conscious at 30 and slathering SPF on and my tan suffered. I could really tell this stuff amped up my tan without getting burnt not to mention I loved the tone of tan my skin got. I’m excited about this technology & suspect I will always have a bottle on hand.

The stuff really works
I am amazed. I was skeptical that tanning lotion with sunscreen would work, but I am the tannest I have ever been and didn’t get burned!

Great for a mineral sunscreen
After my first use I really like this product, reef safe, skin safe and helps you tan better. I gave a 4 out of 5 stars because I believe there is some room for improvement, the texture of the lotion does not run smoothly on your skin, it turns white when wet so you have to rub it again, and the sent is not my favorite; but I have to say is the only mineral sunscreen that really goes on clear as you put it on your skin. I will continue to use it and come back to tell you more.
