FAQs

Who is Rose & Caramel?

Rose & Caramel was founded by Rosie Greenhalgh, who spent years developing the world's first cream-based spray tan. Named after the first names of two friends, the brand has grown from a single product into a comprehensive tanning and skincare range with over 40 awards to its name, including Tanning Experts of the Year. With 20 years of industry experience, Rose & Caramel creates salon-quality formulas that allow you to achieve the best results from home, aiming to innovate rather than replicate by tackling the most common self-tanning problems that tanning enthusiasts face during their weekly routine.

What are the most popular Rose & Caramel products?

The Purity Excel 60 Seconds Tan Removing Scrub is one of the brand's most iconic products, removing even stubborn self-tan in just 60 seconds while leaving skin silky smooth and primed for the next application. For those who love a deep, rich colour, the Intensity Ultra Dark Tanning Mousse delivers a seriously deep bronze with a streak-free formula that has earned a devoted global following. The So So Dark Extra Very Ultra Dark Self-Tanning Serum is equally beloved for those who want the darkest possible result in a lightweight, skin-loving serum format. Rounding things out, the Tanplexion 48h Hydration Tan Extender Mist is a brilliant post-tan essential, locking in moisture and extending the life of your colour for a longer-lasting, more even fade.

Does Rose & Caramel offer self-tan removal products?

Absolutely, the Purity Excel Sensitive 60 Second Tan Remover is a brilliant option for reactive skin, delivering the same fast-acting, award-winning removal in a gentle, fragrance-free formula. The Purity Self Tan Removing Shower Gel is a convenient everyday option that removes tan gradually during your regular shower routine, while the Purity 2-in-1 Tan Removing Wonder Sponge combines exfoliation and tan removal in one easy step for a thorough, mess-free result. For a targeted, hands-free approach, the Purity 4-in-1 Tan Removal Gloves are a clever solution that exfoliates, cleanses, removes tan, and moisturises all in one, leaving skin silky smooth and perfectly primed for the next application.

How do I achieve the smoothest tan with Rose & Caramel?

A flawless tan starts long before you apply your self-tanner, and Rose & Caramel has everything you need at every step of the process. Begin by removing any old tan with the Purity Excel Xtra 60 Second Tan Remover to create a completely clean, even canvas, then follow up with a thorough body exfoliation to slough away dead skin cells, paying extra attention to dry areas like the elbows, knees, and ankles where tan can build up and look patchy. Make sure skin is completely dry before applying your chosen self-tanner, then use the Deluxe Tanning Mitt to work the product, such as the Velvety Ultra Dark Tanning Mousse for a deep, rich colour with a warm olive undertone, into the skin in long, circular strokes, blending carefully around the wrists, ankles, and hairline for a seamless, streak-free finish. Once your tan has developed, the Tanplexion 48h Hydration Tan Extender Mist is a brilliant daily step to keep skin moisturised and your colour looking fresh for as long as possible.

Is Rose & Caramel suitable for men?

Fake tanning is not just for women, and Rose & Caramel's Unity range is a specially created collection of self-tanning products for all skin tones, designed to work seamlessly for all genders. The Unity Unisex Light-Medium Tanning Foam is a brilliant starting point, delivering a natural-looking, buildable colour in a lightweight, easy-to-apply foam with a designer-inspired unisex scent that works beautifully on all skin tones. For tan removal, the Unity Unisex 60 Second Tan Removing Power Scrub is equally well suited, combining fast-acting tan removal with a physical scrub for a thorough, skin-smoothing result. Whether you are after a subtle sun-kissed finish or a deeper bronze, the unisex range delivers flawless results without streaks or orange tones.

Does Rose & Caramel offer more than tanning products?

Yes, Rose & Caramel has expanded beyond its iconic tanning range into beauty accessories and skincare. The Ultra Hydrate Lip Oil is a brilliant example, a nourishing, deeply conditioning lip oil that keeps lips soft, plump, and hydrated throughout the day.

Is Rose & Caramel cruelty-free and vegan-friendly?

Rose & Caramel is 100% cruelty-free and vegan-friendly and do not test any of their products or ingredients on animals.
