South Seas was founded by an owner who experienced skin cancer in her 20s and set out to create a safer way to achieve a flawless, sun-kissed tan without UV exposure. Built on decades of professional spray tanning expertise, South Seas offers natural-looking, customizable color. Every formula is thoughtfully developed with skin-loving ingredients and ease of use in mind, making it simple to achieve a beautiful glow that feels uniquely yours.
Yes. South Seas Tahitian Tan Mist can be used on all skin tones, including fair complexions. For the most natural-looking results, hold the can approximately 10 inches from the skin and allow the mist to gently "fall" onto the body rather than spraying too closely. The skin should appear dry immediately after application. This technique helps create a soft, even, sun-kissed glow and allows fair skin tones to build color gradually.
Fiji Express Self Tanning Mist is our most popular choice for achieving deeper, darker color at home. The express formula allows you to customize your results based on rinse time, with color continuing to develop after rinsing. Customers seeking rich, tropical-looking color also love Tahitian Tan Mist and Sea Foam Mousse, both of which can be layered to build additional depth.
South Seas self tanning products feature fresh, tropical-inspired fragrances with notes of lemon, coconut, mango, and pineapple. Because DHA interacts with each person's skin differently, some scent may develop as the tan develops. However, many customers love the tropical fragrance and find it enhances the overall self tanning experience.
South Seas self tanning products are thoughtfully formulated with hydrating ingredients and naturally derived tanning agents. They are paraben-free, cruelty-free, and vegan. While individual skin needs vary, many customers with sensitive or mature skin enjoy our formulas. If you have particularly sensitive skin or known allergies, we recommend reviewing the ingredient list and performing a patch test prior to use.
While many self tanners require a longer development period, express formulas are designed to be rinsed sooner. Fiji Express Tan Mist is our express self tanner and allows you to rinse after 2 to 3 hours, depending on your desired level of color. It's a popular choice for those who want beautiful, customizable results with added convenience.
Natural-looking color is at the heart of every South Seas formula. While Tahitian Tan Mist and Sea Foam Mousse are longtime customer favorites for achieving a soft, beach-inspired glow, each of our self tanning products is designed to deliver radiant, sun-kissed results. The best formula for you depends on your preferred application method, desired depth of color, and lifestyle.
The Mini Tahitian Tan Mist and Tahitian Tan Extender are popular choices for travel. Both are TSA-friendly and easy to pack, making them ideal for vacations and weekend getaways. Tahitian Tan Mist can be used for convenient touch-ups, while Tahitian Tan Extender helps hydrate the skin and support longer-lasting color.
