Don't worry, we've got you covered with some tips to help you find the best sunless tan shade for you!
What should you consider when choosing a sunless tan shade?
When embarking on the journey to find the ideal sunless tan shade, it is essential to consider your natural skin tone, undertones, and your desired level of bronzing. Opt for a shade that compliments your skin tone rather than drastically altering it, ensuring an even and natural-looking tan.
Understanding your skin tone
The key to finding the right sunless tan shade is understanding your skin tone. Are you fair, medium, or dark? Knowing your skin tone will help you determine which shade will look the most natural on you.
- If you have fair skin, the best shade for you is the ENHANCE, which is a lighter formula that gradually enhances your natural skin tone. It's also perfect for helping to maintain the life of your existing tan.
- For medium skin tones, our GLOW formula will give you a beautiful bronzed look, minus the sun. This most-loved shade perfectly enhances skin tone for that glowing summer look.
- For darker skin tones, or those wanting to achieve that deep, "just back from vacation" look, our ABSOLUTE formula will give you a dark sunless tan.
Rock your glow
But wait- make sure to exfoliate! It’s the pre-tan step that is often by-passed but oh-so important for you to achieve healthy skin with a perfectly flawless color. Once you've fully exfoliated and applied your sunless tan shade of choice, it's time to show off that golden glow! Pair it with your favorite summer outfit, add some shimmering body oil for extra radiance, and strut your stuff like the bronzed goddess you are.
Whether you're a sunless tanning newbie or a seasoned pro, finding the best sunless tan shade for your skin tone is key to achieving that perfect golden glow. Say goodbye to pale and hello to fabulous with the right sunless tan shade!
In the realm of skincare, there's a constant quest for ingredients that promise transformative results while aligning with ethical and sustainable practices. One such ingredient that has been making waves in the beauty industry is Irish Sea Moss, scientifically known as Chondrus Crispus. But what sets ethically harvested Irish Sea Moss apart, especially when it comes in a potent 10% concentrate? Let's delve into the world of this natural marvel and explore its skincare benefits.
Understanding Irish Sea Moss: A Natural Wonder
Irish Sea Moss is a species of red algae that grows abundantly along the rocky Atlantic coasts of Europe and North America. For centuries, it has been revered for its potent nutritional content and various health benefits. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, Irish Sea Moss is a powerhouse ingredient with a myriad of applications, including skincare.
Ethical Harvesting: Preserving Nature's Balance
The sustainability of Irish Sea Moss harvesting practices is paramount to its continued availability and ecological health. Ethical harvesting involves methods that prioritize the preservation of marine ecosystems, ensuring minimal impact on the environment. By adhering to sustainable harvesting practices, we can protect fragile marine ecosystems and maintain the biodiversity of coastal regions.
At cMOSS BEAUTY™, we didn’t jump on the sea moss trend—we helped start it. Our founder, Laurie Larkey, discovered the power of Irish sea moss firsthand after undergoing a thyroidectomy. Adding it to her diet brought back her energy, and applying it to her skin completely transformed her complexion—leaving it tighter, brighter, and deeply nourished.
Inspired by this life-changing experience, she created cMOSS BEAUTY®, the first clean skincare line built around ethically sourced Irish sea moss. Our exclusive ISM Complex™ combines:
Pure Irish Sea Moss – Hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier
Amethyst Extract – Protects against environmental stressors
Rose Water – Soothes and refreshes
Caffeine – Revives and energizes
Vitamins A, C, & E – Deliver powerful antioxidants
Hyaluronic Acid & Ceramides – Lock in moisture for plump, youthful skin
Every product is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, phthalates, and mineral oils, delivering powerful results with clean ingredients.
Why You Should Get on Board Now
If seaweed is the new kale, then sea moss is the ultimate upgrade—and cMOSS BEAUTY® is leading the charge. While other brands are just catching on, we’ve been perfecting the science of sea moss skincare from the start.

Raspberry seeds flew everywhere, dusting the ground near our seed dryer. We learned a lot of things in our first years of seed drying. First and foremost was don’t overfill our bulk bags with dried seed or we’d be enveloped in a cloud of raspberry seeds and would be stuck picking seeds out of our hair for days.
Lo and behold, a lawn of raspberry seedlings greeted us the following spring. Wherever our raspberry seeds touched ground they had sprouted. Live seed germinates. And only live seed can be used to produce what we call “live oil”.
Many seeds are harvested after they’ve dried, such as sunflower, soy and corn. Grains are usually allowed to dry to around 13% moisture content before they’re harvested. It’s different for seeds that come from fruit processing such as raspberry, kiwi, cranberry, and grapes. These seeds are released when the fruit is crushed for making juices and purees. If the fruit or the purees are pasteurized (145°F for 30 minutes) before the seeds are removed the seeds are killed. They won’t germinate and the oil in the seed is rendered rancid.
Using live seed is only the first step in producing live oils. Live seed has the energy within itself to germinate and grow. A live seed is unaltered and retains the natural goodness, imbued with life force. The challenge is to transfer the vitality of the seed to the oil produced from it. This can only be done by cold-pressing the seed, which is not only the gentlest way to extract the oil from the seed but is the only method that preserves the natural composition of the oil as it is found in the seed. Chemical extraction of the oil from the seed, on the other hand, not only kills the vitality and goodness of the oil it also introduces traces of toxic chemicals to the oil. Supercritical extraction of oils from seeds is a selective process that, depending on production parameters, selectively extracts certain parts of the oil from the seed and not others. Live oils are oils full of vitality because they are true reflections of the oil found in live seeds.

What is Rose Infused Red Raspberry Seed Oil?
Rose infused raspberry seed oil is a beautiful, handcrafted oil that combines the enriching qualities of raspberry seed oil, the gentle aroma of rose petals, and its abundance of vitamins and antioxidants. The infusion of rose imparts the additional benefits of vitamin A and C, as well as antioxidants found in rose petals. Additionally, this splendid oil is suitable for all skin types, ensuring that everyone can bask in its rejuvenating properties. This infusion, also known as a macerated oil, is a luxurious way to pamper your skin and nourish your senses.
Step-by-Step Guide
Collect the rose petals: In the morning, gently pluck the vibrant rose petals. Allow them to rest overnight, spread out in a single layer to bid farewell to any insects and excess humidity. If you don't have access to vining roses, you can use petals from other edible rose varieties as a substitute.
Prepare the sterilized mason jar: Begin by pouring boiling water into a mason jar, swirling it around to thoroughly sterilize it. Rinse the jar with clean water and let it dry completely.
Add the rose petals to the jar: Carefully layer the rose petals inside the sterilized mason jar, ensuring they have enough space to mingle with the oil. Avoid packing them too tightly to allow for even oil distribution.
Add the red raspberry seed oil: Pour red raspberry seed oil over the petals, covering them completely. Witness the beautiful dance of colors as the oil and petals intertwine. Leave enough room to seal the jar tightly.
Let it infuse: Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for approximately 24 hours, allowing the oil to absorb the irresistible aroma and subtle nuances of the rose petals.
Filter and store: Once the infusion is complete, use an unbleached coffee filter or a soft cheesecloth to strain the oil, capturing its newfound essence in another clean container. Store the infused oil in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
Skin wrinkles and dark spots, those obvious signs of ageing, are caused by prolonged oxidative damage of the skin due to sun exposure. Sunlight (UVA and UVB radiation) produces highly reactive chemicals in your skin, called free radicals, which at high concentrations are hazardous and can damage all major components of your skin cells, including DNA, proteins and cell membranes.
That’s where Super Vitamin E comes in. When applied topically it reduces the oxidative damage caused by sunlight. It has also been shown to inhibit melanoma cell growth and reduce inflammation. Nobody doubts that the topical application of Super Vitamin E is an excellent tool for reversing sun damage to the skin, but what’s the best way to get Super Vitamin E into the skin where it can do its thing?
The best way to put Super Vitamin E to work protecting and repairing your skin is to apply cold-pressed plant oils that are high in tocotrienols directly to your skin. Cold-pressed oils are not subject to high temperatures and they are produced without chemicals or solvents. Stay away from concentrated forms of Vitamin E because they are manufactured by distilling common vegetable oils, such as soy bean, palm or sunflower oil at high temperatures. The Vitamin E is concentrated in the distillate.
There are only a few plant-based oils that contain substantial amounts of tocotrienols. Here is a short list of cold-pressed oils that have the highest content of Super Vitamin E (tocotrienols):
Cranberry Seed Oil: cold-pressed cranberry seed oil is the richest known source of tocotrienols. It has a tocotrienol content of 1,700 mg/kg. It also smells nice, absorbs well and has a high content of Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids, which are uniquely balanced 1:1.
Red Palm Oil: red palm oil contains 730 mg/kg of tocotrienols. Palm oil is low in essential fatty acids and high in saturated fats. Palm oil plantations are linked to unsustainable deforestation throughout the world.
Rice Bran Oil: rice bran oil contains 585 mg/kg of tocotrienols. Rice bran oil is low in essential fatty acids and has a high Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio which can lead to inflammation.
Why should body oil be applied to damp skin?
You may have heard that oils work best when your skin is wet. Since oils seal in hydration and hydration can come from damp skin, applying body oil after showering or bathing locks in that moisture.
After applying, just let your body air dry or pat gently with a towel. Top Note Body Oil will sink right into your skin and will not leave you feeling greasy.
