For years, self-tanning has been a double-edged sword.
The promise of a sun-kissed glow often came with unpleasant trade-offs: a lingering chemical odour, stubborn transfer onto clothes and sheets and the dreaded orange tinge.
Enter Unreal Skin, a revolutionary Australian self-tanner launched in late 2023 by Sarah, an entrepreneur determined to create a better beauty experience.

Unreal Skin’s $39.95 self-tanning cream is more than just a product; it’s a culmination of Sarah’s frustration with existing options.
“I tried every tan on the market and was always left dissatisfied,” Sarah explained.
“Every product seemed to have a horrible smell, transferred onto sheets and left you with orange skin.”
Unreal Skin tackles these issues head-on with a unique formula that prioritises both natural ingredients and convenience.
The secret lies in a hydrating formula comprised of 98 per cent natural ingredients.
This eliminates the “nasties” often found in self-tanners, including parabens, fragrance and colour agents.
Instead Unreal Skin relies on certified organic Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), the active tanning ingredient, along with a booster to ensure an even tan.
The formula also boasts highly moisturising properties with vitamin E and natural oils, making it suitable even for sensitive skin.
But the real innovation lies in the lack of fragrance and colour agents.
This translates to a self-tanner that’s truly odourless and streak-free.
“The best thing about this tan is it doesn’t smell,” says one satisfied customer.
“So you could just put it on like moisturiser during the day. You can eliminate all the marinating time — which is the worst part about tanning!”
Another user echoes this sentiment: “Unreal Skin is amazing! It goes on smoothly, dries quickly and delivers a natural, even tan. The colour is perfect — not orange at all.”
This focus on convenience extends beyond the formula itself.
Unlike traditional self-tanners, Unreal Skin allows for on-the-go application.
Forget the pre-tanning prep or worrying about staining your clothes or sheets.
“Apply whenever and wherever,” Unreal Skin encourages on its website.
“Even whilst wearing a white T-shirt, going to work or even cleaning the house”.
This is particularly appealing to busy individuals and new mothers.
“This is the first tan I have been able to use as a new mum,” said one user.
“The natural ingredients make it a huge win, plus it does not transfer onto bub leaving dreaded orange cheeks! The product has brought me to life after so many days of feeling like a zombie.”
Within just six months, Unreal Skin has garnered a loyal following in Australia.
Customers rave about the product’s ease of application and natural-looking tan.
With its commitment to quality, convenience and natural ingredients, Unreal Skin is poised to revolutionise self-tanning, making a flawless, healthy glow accessible to everyone.
