Coco & Eve's Tan Boosting Anti-Aging Body Oil SPF30 has become a summer favourite among sun-conscious shoppers, particularly mature women, who praise its ability to deliver a 'lovely' tan while protecting ageing skin. Priced at £28, the lightweight, non-greasy formula offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection and claims to enhance natural tanning while defending against photoaging.
Why It's a 'Game Changer'
The Bali-inspired body oil, which has amassed over 600 reviews, is designed to accelerate the skin's natural tanning process using a biomimetic tanning peptide. It also contains antioxidant-rich watermelon seed oil, pineapple extract, and cacao extract to nourish the skin, support the skin barrier, and boost radiance.
One mature shopper shared: “I am a mature lady and have used many sun products but I have never had a tan as lovely as this. The product is easy to use, it’s not greasy and it’s a brilliant sunscreen. I’ve just returned from Greece the temp was 37 degrees and I didn’t burn and I didn’t get prickly heat. It’s going to be my go to product for the future. I highly recommend it. Some of my Friends have already purchased it.”
Fragrance and Application
The SPF oil features a tropical mango scent with notes of pear, coconut milk, pineapple, vanilla, sandalwood, and amber woods, which users describe as 'divine'. As a chemical sunscreen, it should be applied around 20 minutes before sun exposure and reapplied every two hours, or after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
Another reviewer noted: “I blimin love this stuff. Won’t use anything else now. Lush smell and feel, SPF works brilliantly and both tans and protects nicely. The anti-ageing body oil provides a lovely glow on the arms and legs once applied to which is flattering over dry skin or cellulite, and instantly gives the impression of a tan, and the results are great.”
Other Options and Praise
For those seeking higher protection, Coco & Eve also offers the Coconut Milk Body SPF50, a lightweight sunscreen with a milky texture, and a Highlighter Body SPF50 with a subtle illuminating finish. The brand's Firming & Tan Prolonging Peptide Body Oil helps extend tan appearance for up to 28 days.
One five-star review read: “Absolutely love this stuff. I have never managed to tan my legs before - always looked as though I had been on a moon lamp. This stuff is a game changer.” Another added: “I’m a fair freckly girl so not a natural tanner. This product is a game changer for me, I get max protection but develop a lovely tan that lasts. It’s my go to holiday essential.”
