Overview
This body oil is built around a biomimetic tanning peptide and Inca Inchi oil, paired with vitamins C and E and other tropical oils. The listed benefits are firming, nourishing and radiant tan, and it is aimed specifically at the body rather than the face.
At 5.75 fluid ounces for $34, it is a smaller bottle at a premium price, which fits its positioning as a targeted after sun treatment rather than an everyday lotion. It is cruelty free, and the ingredient combination is meant to keep skin nourished while helping an existing tan hold on longer.
A 4.6 star average across 175 ratings is a strong score, and 28 purchases in the past month shows steady, current demand for a fairly specialized product.
Pros
- Contains a biomimetic tanning peptide plus Inca Inchi oil aimed at tan longevity
- Vitamins C and E support a nourished, glowing look
- Cruelty free formula
- 4.6 star average across 175 ratings with 28 buyers in the past month
Cons
- Does not create a tan on its own, it is meant to extend one you already have
- Smaller 5.75 ounce size at a premium price point
- Firming benefits build gradually and will not show overnight
Performance notes
Peptides and moisturizing oils like Inca Inchi may help support the look of firmer, more nourished skin over time, though this is a cosmetic benefit rather than a medical treatment. Keeping skin well moisturized also tends to help an existing tan fade more evenly, which lines up with this oil's tan prolonging positioning.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across 175 ratings is one of the stronger scores in this lineup, and 28 purchases in the past month points to steady, current interest for a fairly niche after sun product.

Frequently asked questions
How does a tan prolonging oil actually work?
Formulas like this one lean on moisturizing ingredients such as Inca Inchi oil, along with a biomimetic tanning peptide, to keep skin nourished so an existing tan fades more slowly and evenly rather than flaking off in patches.
Do I need to use a self tanner first, or can I use this after a day in the sun?
This oil does not add color on its own, so it can be paired with either a sunless self tanner or a natural sun tan, since its job is to extend the color you already have rather than create new color.
What does the 'firming' benefit mean here?
The peptide and nourishing oils may help support the appearance of firmer, smoother looking skin over time, but this is a cosmetic effect rather than a medical or lasting structural change.
