We get it. You spend time perfecting your tan, only to watch it fade unevenly, go scaly after a few days, or smell like you’ve marinated in biscuits. We've been there too. That's why we created Tandae Tanning Mousse. After all, a flawless, long-lasting tan shouldn't be so hard to come by.
Why We Created Tandae Tanning Mousse
Tandae didn’t begin in a lab. It began on a honeymoon. Our founder Georgia found herself, yet again, disappointed by a tan that didn’t deliver. It was too light, didn’t last, and started to fade by day three. Despite using one of the best-known tans on the market, it still didn't meet her expectations. Cue the honeymoon chat that sparked a mission: create a self-tan that delivers everything a great tan should - without the compromises.
Tandae is the result of over a year of dedication, hundreds of trials, and an unwavering refusal to settle. It's a formula built from the ground up to solve every fake tan frustration we've all experienced.

What's Special About The Tanning Mousse Formula?
We didn’t just want a tan that looked good - we wanted it to feel good, too. The texture of the Tanning Mousse is where skincare meets self-tan: lightweight and fast-absorbing with zero stickiness.
It glides on effortlessly, blends in with ease, and leaves your skin feeling nourished (not tight, dry, or tacky). That’s thanks to a base that balances performance with hydration, helping to lock in colour and extend your glow.
And because ingredients matter, we kept out the common culprits (like parabens and toxins) and focused on quality. Tandae is:
- Vegan & cruelty-free
- Paraben-free
- Toxin-free
- Infused with skin-conditioning agents for a smoother fade
Which Tanning Mousse Shade Is Right for Me?
Medium:
Subtle and sun-kissed. Ideal for fairer skin tones or tan beginners who want a subtle, healthy glow.
Dark:
That just-back-from-the-Caribbean bronze. Ideal for light to medium skin tones, it's deep, but natural, like you've spent two weeks on holiday.
Ultra Dark:
Perfect for medium to deeper skin tones or those who love a rich, bold tan; this is Georgia’s go-to!
What Does The Tanning Mousse Smell Like?
No more tell-tale “tan” smell. Tandae products are lightly infused with notes of tuberose, bergamot, and patchouli - subtle, elevated, and skin-friendly. A scent you’ll actually want to wear.
How Do I Get The Best Results?
- Exfoliate 24 hours before for the smoothest base.
- Apply with our Tanning Mitt using long, sweeping motions.
- Leave to develop for 6–8 hours before rinsing.
- Avoid oils (in shower gels or lotions) to prevent breakdown.
