Section 1: The basics
What does Bronze Body sell?
Bronze Body offers two separate product ranges.
Our topical range includes pre-tan gels and tan-extending creams designed to moisturise and condition the skin.
Our INTENSIFY range contains separately supplied Melanotan II solutions intended exclusively for laboratory and analytical research.
Each product has its own intended purpose. Always read the individual product page and label before purchasing, using or handling it.
Are all Bronze Body products tanning cosmetics?
No.
Our gels and creams are topical products intended for external use as part of a tanning preparation or aftercare routine.
INTENSIFY NO.3 is a separate laboratory research product. It is not supplied as a cosmetic, supplement, medicine or consumer tanning product.
Where are your products prepared?
The country of preparation is displayed on each individual product page and label.
Always check the information relating to the specific product you are purchasing.
Are your products suitable for everyone?
No product is suitable for absolutely everyone.
Check the full ingredient list before purchasing a topical product, patch test before your first full application and stop using it if irritation occurs.
INTENSIFY NO.3 is not intended for use in humans or animals.
Section 2: Gels and creams
What is the difference between the pre-tan gel and tan-extending cream?
The pre-tan gel has a lightweight texture designed to moisturise and condition the skin as part of your preparation routine.
The tan-extending cream has a richer texture designed to keep the skin feeling moisturised, conditioned and smooth after tanning.
Use each product according to the directions displayed on its individual label.
What is the difference between tingle and non-tingle?
Tingle formulas create an intense warming or tingling sensation and may cause temporary redness.
Non-tingle formulas provide a more comfortable application without the same warming effect.
Non-tingle does not mean hypoallergenic or suitable for every skin type. Patch test every product before your first full application.
Which formula should I choose?
Choose tingle when you are experienced with tingle products and actively prefer an intense warming sensation.
Choose non-tingle when you want a more comfortable application without the warming or tingling effect.
Anyone new to this type of product should generally begin with the non-tingle option.
Are the tingle products suitable for beginners?
Our tingle formulas are better suited to experienced users who understand the intense warming sensation they create.
Do not apply them to the face, sensitive areas, broken or irritated skin, or immediately after shaving, waxing or exfoliating.
Always patch test first.
What does a tingle product feel like?
Tingle products can create an intense warming, tingling or hot sensation.
Temporary skin redness may also occur.
The sensation varies between people. Stop using the product and rinse the area if the reaction becomes excessive, painful or concerning.
Are the non-tingle products suitable for sensitive skin?
Non-tingle only means the formula does not create the same intense warming sensation.
It does not guarantee that the product will be suitable for sensitive skin.
Check the ingredient list, patch test before use and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Are the gels and creams fake tan?
The gels and creams are presented as topical tanning preparation and aftercare products.
They are not sold as instant self-tan products unless the individual product page and label specifically state otherwise.
Will the products make me look orange?
The gels and creams are not presented as instant colour-depositing self-tans.
Their primary purpose is to moisturise and condition the skin as part of your topical preparation or aftercare routine.
How quickly will the colour develop?
The gels and creams do not promise a fixed colour-development time.
Any tanning outcome varies depending on the individual, their skin, their wider routine and their exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Never increase UV exposure simply because you have applied a tanning product.
Do the gels or creams contain sunscreen?
No.
Bronze Body gels and creams do not contain sunscreen and do not protect against ultraviolet radiation.
Always use suitable broad-spectrum sunscreen and follow the application and reapplication instructions on its label.
How do I use the pre-tan gel?
Apply the gel evenly to clean, dry skin according to the instructions displayed on its individual label.
Avoid the eyes, face, broken skin and sensitive areas.
Wash your hands thoroughly after application.
How do I use the tan-extending cream?
Apply the cream evenly to clean, dry skin according to the directions displayed on its individual label.
It can be used as part of your topical aftercare routine to help keep the skin feeling moisturised and conditioned.
How often should I apply the topical products?
Follow the usage instructions displayed on the individual product label.
Applying more product or using it more frequently does not automatically improve the result and may increase the chance of irritation.
Do I need to patch test?
Yes.
Apply a small amount to a discreet area before your first full application and leave enough time to check how your skin responds.
Do not continue if the area becomes irritated, swollen, persistently red or uncomfortable.
Can I use the products on my face?
Do not apply tingle products to the face.
For non-tingle products, follow the instructions displayed on the individual label. Avoid the eyes, lips, broken skin and other sensitive areas.
Can I use them immediately after shaving or waxing?
Avoid applying tingle products immediately after shaving, waxing or exfoliating.
Freshly treated skin may be more reactive and the warming sensation may feel significantly stronger.
What should I do if a topical product irritates my skin?
Stop using the product and rinse the affected area thoroughly.
Seek medical advice if the reaction is severe, continues or includes significant swelling, breathing difficulties or persistent discomfort.
Email support.bronzebody@gmail.com with your order number, the product used and details of the reaction.
Which fragrances are available?
Available fragrances are displayed on each individual product page.
Options vary depending on the product and current stock.
Are your topical products vegan and cruelty-free?
Only rely on vegan or cruelty-free claims where they are specifically displayed on the individual product page and supported by the relevant product documentation.
Contact us before ordering when this is an important purchasing requirement.
How should I store the gels and creams?
Keep products securely closed, away from excessive heat and direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.
Follow any additional storage instructions displayed on the individual label.
