About Us

A tan I could actually live with.

I was born with very fair skin, and when I was in year 8, I had a melanoma cut out. That was the moment I understood, in a very real way, what baking in the sun could actually cost me. After that, I made the conscious decision to look after my skin. I still wanted the glow, the one that made me feel like the best, most confident version of myself. I just needed to get it without gambling my skin for it.

The self tans I tried didn't make that easy. They made me smell horrible, I looked like an oompa-loompa, and they took the whole night to develop (and sometimes I still wasn’t dark enough). So I spent over three years testing and refining a formula of my own: something that looked completely natural, didn’t have a strong odour, felt good on the skin, and used skincare-grade ingredients instead of just enough tanning agent to get by. It had to be cruelty-free and vegan too, because that wasn't something I was willing to compromise on either.

After years of perfecting every detail, Noosa Tan was born - inspired by the effortless, sun-kissed glow of Noosa's beaches, and by the idea that feeling like the best version of yourself shouldn't come with a catch. It's for the memories you make with the people you love, the things you love doing, and the days you want to feel good in your own skin - developed for people who, like me, want the glow without the risk.

This is the tan I always wished existed. I may not have had it when I was younger, but you don't have to go without it now. 

With love,
