EU regulations changed recently, requiring a reduction in DHA (the active ingredient that causes the skin to look tanned) across all retail and professional formulations. Rose & Caramel are proud to own an award-winning ultra-dark formula that was already within the safety guidelines before the EU rules changed. DHA can dry out skin, so Rose & Caramel sourced their own ingredient to intensely moisturize and enhance the quality of the tan.

And what better way than to relieve all the stress from removing self-tan with their Rose & Caramel Purity Self Tan Removing Bubble Bath (£22.99). Simply run a bath, add the solution and wait for the tan to wash away – all while simultaneously removing dead skin cells and rejuvenating the skin! Available now from roseandcaramel.
