Yes, the Gradual Tan Butter is suitable for all skin types. As with all skincare products, if you have sensitive skin it is advised to patch test before applying to your entire body.
Is this product suitable for daily use?

What are the benefits?
The Gradual Tanning Butter is a multipurpose, 4-in-1 product that hydrates, tans, illuminates and repairs skin with every application. We’ve paired low-level tanning actives with a deeply hydrating blend of skincare, making it the perfect daily essential for achieving a radiant, sunkissed glow, gradually. It is also a rinse-free formula, allowing you to apply and hop into bed or start your day!
What are the key ingredients?
Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E work to boost hydration and support skin health. Niacinamide keeps skin hydrated and smooth to achieve the perfect base. Vitamin E promotes skin cell renewal for smoother skin & even tan. Shea and cocoa butter are rich in antioxidants to moisturise, soothe & aid in skin barrier repair.
Is this product Vegan?
Yes, this product is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
Can I use the Gradual Tan Butter in conjunction with other Bali Body products?
Yes, this product is great to use in conjunction with our Self Tan range to assist in extending the life of your tan and increase hydration. You can also layer with our Body Whip or Body Highlight to really elevate your tan!
How quickly will I see results?
You will see initial results within 4-6 hours. Darkest results seen after 2-3 applications.
Do I need to wash my hands after I apply?
Absolutely. As this is a self tanning product, you will need to thoroughly wash your hands after each application. Pay close attention to your wrists and in between your fingers.
Is this a gradual tanning product?
Yes, it is. The results from 1 application will give you medium to dark results, depending on your natural skin tone. To increase the deepness of your tan, we recommend continued use. Apply to clean skin after each shower. Best results are seen after 4 applications.
What is the texture of this product?
This body lotion has a rich, butter-like texture that is ultra-hydrating and creamy.
Can I use this as a tan extender?
Yes, you can! Apply daily after a shower to increase the longevity of your natural or fake tan to intensely hydrate the skin. A hydrated skin barrier will help preserve the colour of your tan, extending its life for up to 7 days.
Should I exfoliate before using the Gradual Tanning Butter?
Yes, it’s always best to exfoliate before applying self-tan, as this will allow the hydrating skincare ingredients to soak into your skin better, meaning your tan will be more even and longer lasting. Plus, the added hydration from the Gradual Tanning Butter means that exfoliated skin will be even more hydrated and buttery-soft.
For best results, you can use our Body Scrub or Exfoliating Mitt.
For an even, streak-free tan, begin by using our exfoliating mitt. Then, apply and blend the Gradual Tanning Butter into your skin as you would a daily body moisturiser. Wash hands after each application.
This can be used everyday as a body moisturiser - it will subtly and gradually tan your skin over time. The more often you apply Gradual Tanning Butter, the darker your tan will become.
Hydrate, tan, illuminate and repair skin in one step with this daily body moisturiser. Enriched with skin cell-renewing vitamin E, hydrating niacinamide and nourishing shea butter to leave your skin looking flawless and feeling healthy.

The first tan mitt which doesn’t feel like it is going to tear after first use. It is nice and thick so should last more than the other brands I’ve had.
