I was captivated by how Indigenous people in the Amazon have used urucum since time immemorial. I wanted it in an oil that would smell lovely and deepen a tan to a golden tone.

Questions
What you ask most often
Does it protect against the sun?
No. The tanning activator contains no SPF or artificial UV filters and does not protect against the sun. Always use an SPF sun-protection product first before spending longer in the sun.
In what order should I use it with sun protection?
SPF first, then the tanning activator. You can apply the oil over sun cream with a UV protection factor.
How should I tan without turning red?
Use a scrub the day before to smooth the skin. Eat foods rich in antioxidants and beta-carotene, such as carrots, drink plenty of water, keep your skin hydrated and avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 11 and 15.
Can I use it after sun exposure too?
Customers also apply it after sun exposure. One says her skin stayed hydrated all day in the sun and had not started peeling even two weeks after her holiday.
Will it stain my clothes?
It may, because the oil contains natural pigments. Let it absorb well before getting dressed.
How can I tell whether it suits me?
Do not use on irritated or sensitive skin, or if you are sensitive to any ingredient. Before first use, try a small amount on your forearm or behind your ear and wait 24 to 48 hours. Do not use if redness, itching or swelling occurs. A test without a reaction does not guarantee future tolerance.

Neexistuje nič lepšie ako Urucum. Opálenie je krásne a rýchle. Používam ho už druhý rok. Mám bledú pokožku ale vďaka tomuto produktu mám krásne hnedé opálenie, ktoré vydrží naozaj veľmi dlho. Vždy ma opaľovalo do červena, opáliť nohy bolo skoro nemožné, ale s týmto produktom vyjdem na slniečko 2-3x a opálenie je pekné, hnedé, ako od mora. Ja môžem Urucum len odporučiť.
Variant s vôňou kokosa je TOPka, nádherne vonia.
