As we celebrate Skincare Awareness Month this September, it’s the perfect time to take a closer look at your beauty routine. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and what you put on it matters. It’s not just for how you look, but for your overall health and well-being. It may be time to rethink your self-tan routine and discover why Elan Pure is so much more than just a self-tanner; it’s a weekly skincare ritual that nourishes, repairs, and protects your skin.
1. No Dyes: Skip the Stains and Sensitivities
The Problem:
Many traditional self-tanners use artificial dyes to create instant color. These dyes can irritate sensitive skin, cause allergic reactions, and stain your clothes and sheets. Over time, they can also lead to uneven, patchy fading.
Elan Pure’s Difference:
Elan Pure is completely dye-free. Our formula uses non-toxic, plant-based ingredients to deliver a natural, patch-free glow—no artificial coloring, no stains, and no risk of irritation or hormone disruption.
2. Synthetic DHA: The Hidden Harms
The Problem:
Most self-tanners rely on synthetic DHA, often derived from petrochemicals. This can cause a strong chemical odor, uneven fading, and is linked to skin sensitivity and irritation.
Elan Pure’s Difference:
We use only plant-based DHA, derived from sugar beets. It’s gentler on your skin, and is less likely to cause irritation. Plus, it develops gradually for a patch-free, long-lasting tan.
3. Parabens: More Than Just Preservatives
The Problem:
Parabens are commonly used as preservatives in beauty products, but they’re also known hormone disruptors and have been linked to potential long-term health concerns.
Elan Pure’s Difference:
Our self-tanner is 100% paraben-free. We believe in protecting your skin and your health, so we use only safe, non-toxic ingredients that nourish and support your skin’s natural balance.
4. Alcohols: Drying and Damaging
The Problem:
Alcohol denat and other drying agents are often added to self-tanners for a quick-dry finish. But these ingredients can strip your skin of moisture, leaving it feeling tight, itchy, and prone to flakiness—making your tan fade faster and patchy in a few days.
Elan Pure’s Difference:
Our formula is enriched with organic glycerin and hydrating botanicals like calendula and cucumber extract. These ingredients lock in moisture, repair your skin barrier, and ensure your tan fades evenly and patch-free
5. Fragrances: The Scent of Trouble
The Problem:
Artificial fragrances can mask a host of hidden chemicals, including phthalates, which are linked to hormone disruption and allergies. They’re also a common cause of skin irritation and that telltale “self-tanner stinky smell.”
Elan Pure’s Difference:
We use real vanilla extract powder for a naturally pleasant scent. No synthetic fragrances, no hidden toxins, just a subtle, delightful aroma that makes your weekly self-tanning treatment enjoyable.
