Product Information
Full details
The Calypso Carrot Oil Tan Extending Gel is designed for individuals with a good base tan or those who tan easily and wish to deepen and prolong their tan. Its key benefit is accelerating tanning while nourishing the skin with essential vitamins and natural oils. A significant caveat is that it contains no sunscreen protection and is therefore unsuitable for use if you are prone to burning. This water-resistant gel formula is enriched with Carrot Oil, Vitamins A and E, and added moisturisers to help maintain skin hydration during sun exposure.

FAQs
Does this product contain sunscreen?
No, the Calypso Carrot Oil Tan Extending Gel contains no sunscreen protection. It is designed to enhance tanning and is recommended only for those who tan easily without burning.
How often should I reapply the gel?
You should reapply frequently, particularly after swimming, towelling, or perspiring, to maintain its effectiveness in accelerating tanning.
Can I use this if I have fair skin?
This product is not recommended for individuals with fair skin or those who burn easily, as it offers no protection against sunburn.
What are the main ingredients for skin nourishment?
The gel is enriched with natural Carrot Oil and Vitamins A and E, which help to replace natural oils lost during sun exposure and keep the skin hydrated.
Is it safe to use if I have sensitive skin?
It is advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of skin 24 hours before full application to check for any sensitivity or adverse reactions.
What should I do if the gel gets into my eyes?
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
How does this product help prolong a tan?
The formula helps to nourish and moisturise the skin, which can contribute to maintaining the appearance of a tan for longer by keeping the skin healthy and supple.
Troubleshooting
Skin reaction or irritation after use
Discontinue use immediately. Rinse the affected area with water. Consult a healthcare professional if irritation persists. Ensure you performed a patch test prior to full application.
Product feels sticky or does not absorb well
Ensure you are applying to clean, dry skin. Use a smaller amount and smooth it in gently. Allow a few minutes for absorption before dressing. Avoid applying over other lotions or oils.
Tan does not seem to be deepening
Ensure you are applying generously and frequently, especially after water exposure. This product works best with actual sun exposure; it is not a self-tanner. Make sure you are not inadvertently burning, which can prevent tanning.
