While I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that self-tanning is a solid way to avoid the sun’s aging and cancer-causing effects if you’re loyal to DIY bronzing, you know that it also offers a slew of off-label uses, whether it be camouflaging bruises and scars or concealing facial redness. Unfortunately, finding natural and organic self-tanners that aren’t chock full of toxic and foul-smelling odors isn’t exactly a breeze.

Finding an option that not only chemical-free but also won’t leave your body and skin looking like a certain, um, president or character from “Willy Wonka” isn’t exactly a fool-proof feat. Not only is a tangerine-tinged tone a potential risk when it comes to UV-free bronzing, but also have t worry about streaking, stained hands, and that distinct odor. Fortunately, opting for an organic self-tanning product is not only better for your skin, but it can also help reduce some of these common self-tanning mishaps. Regardless of your skin tone, if you’re looking for a natural-looking self-tanner that’s not laden with chemicals, you’ve come to the right place. Check out our favorite organic formulas below.

This natural bronzing foam delivers a non-toxic and streak-free tan that lasts up to a week. It’s the perfect formula for fair skin tones because it’s a lighter, neutral-toned color, so it will not look overly dark or orange. It’s also non-comedogenic ( it won’t clog pores or cause breakouts), so it’s great for those with sensitive skin.
