Particularly loved by Australians, this brand of self-tanner is now available in France. Its immense success is not the result of chance.
Self-tanner is sometimes difficult to master. Between the traces it can leave on the skin, the orange effect of certain products or even the unpleasant smell, finding a suitable reference is a real challenge. However, self-tanning allows you to obtain a nice tan without the risks associated with exposure to the sun and therefore without putting yourself in danger. In short, the best of both worlds in a small bottle. The good news? A brand straight from Melbourne is finally arriving in our French pharmacies. With a bottle sold every five seconds across the globe, this Australian gem promises novices and professionals alike a radiant complexion with the same elegance as a week’s vacation by the ocean.
It all started in 2012 in Melbourne. Shaun Wilson and Blair James, the founders of the brand, start from an observation: in their country, UV indices can reach peaks and the fair-skinned population is particularly affected by skin cancer. They then decided to create a product capable of making this Australian glow accessible to everyone, without danger. Bondi Sands is born, based on the famous Bondi Beach. Today, it is the best-selling self-tanner brand on the island. The first reason? The sweet scent of coconut and cocoa butter found in every product. The brand has even developed an odor neutralization system specially designed to reduce the unpleasant scent characteristic of DHA (the molecule that colors the skin).
But that’s not all. The great fear of self-tanners is often finding themselves with a very unnatural carrot complexion like a certain political leader whose name we will not mention. To avoid disaster, Bondi Sands deliberately integrates olive and green undertones into its formulas. This tip perfectly neutralizes orange reflections and guarantees a stunningly natural tan. For even, stain-free absorption, the tanning active ingredients are mixed with ingredients that ensure better penetration and impeccable results. The tan develops naturally over time. Ours is a golden complexion!
Proof of the popularity of Bondi Sands, on the social network TikTok, the brand has more than 3 million “likes”. A real phenomenon! Beyond the numbers, it has built a loyal community by regularly offering application tutorial videos and advice on its website. A know-how that explains why the products are sold all over the world. So that everyone can find something for themselves, the brand offers several formats: body foams, facial drops (to mix with its night cream), or even moisturizing milks which guarantee a very gradual tan.
