As we head into warm weather, it is time to take care of your skin to repair any sun damage, while also keeping that summer glow going as long as possible. Self-tanner is the answer. In addition to not streaking or being orange, is it too much to ask for a tanning lotion that's also a non-toxic self-tanner made right in the USA? Using self-tanner allows you an island glow without risking sun damage to your skin. Traditional tanning lotions on the market are packed full of toxins. However, now you can tan at home without swapping UV rays for toxins.
Looking for such a specific product does not yield many results. Lucky for you, we did the research and the searching that makes shopping for an American made, non-toxic self-tanner pretty easy. You can trust these American made products. Give one a try.
Best Non Toxic Self Tanners

This tanner has no artificial fragrance and no added dyes or colors- it will not stain your sheets or clothing. The fragrance is a natural, light coconut scent. Beauty by Earth Self Tanner is gentle for sensitive skin and can be used every day (though once a week is usually a just right tint for most).
Gold Mountain Beauty Tan Extender & Self Tanner is an organic and effective lotion that is derived from natural ingredients like Caffeine Extract, Kukui Nut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Green Leaf Extract, Aloe Vera and Niacinamide that hydrate and soothe the skin. The active ingredient, 4% DHA, works to tan the skin instantly for a golden sun-kissed glow without the orange tint. Gold Mountain Beauty Self Tanner is made in the USA, vegan, non-toxic and cruelty-free. It is paraben free, sulfate free, and phthaltate free too. This self tanner is a favorite of both women and men.
My Skin's Friend Organic Sunless Tanner tanning mist (non-aerosol) is made with organic, chemical free ingredients. It's BPA and phthalate free, vegan and cruelty free. There is no horrible odor, and it's fast drying for a natural looking tan. My Skin's Friend dries in about 5 minutes max and the tan develops over a few hours. You can use it on your face AND your body.
This tan seriously looks like you spent the day in the sun, but with no sun damage! It is soft, even and gorgeous. My Skin's Friend Sunless Tanner does not have any additional fragrance of any kind to mask the scent, but the tanning smell is still nearly undetectable and dissipates completely over the hours. I love the simplicity of the mist application. You don't need help to get hard to reach areas. There is no alcohol in the ingredients - no dried out skin. Made in small batches in Nashville, Tennessee.
Natural and organic ingredients, cruelty-free, and vegan, True Natural Self Tan is perfect for those who want a dark, tropical looking tan. The formula hydrates and protects skin. True Tan shows up in around 4 hours but is dry within 10 minutes so that you can get dressed. Safe to use on face and body.
My tan lasted a solid week. Using the tanner once a week, you can keep an even tan easily. The tanner was as moisturizing as any good body lotion. I love the color; it is not orange in the slightest. My favorite feature is the fact that it has NO fake tanner smell.

These do sound nice, and it is the first time I’ve heard of any of these brands. I just took out my white one-piece yesterday and washed it, I was thinking how I need a lot of self-tanner, especially with white, as I don’t lay out in the sun, but use lots of sunscreen. I want to try all of these, and pick a favorite made in the USA!
Self-tanning has come a long way since my teen years! In the late 70s, I remember something called QT which basically you rubbed on & it turned you weirdly orange & you left orange streaks on anything you sat on or touched!
I have never tried a self tanner before, but since I am trying to take better care of my skin and use more sunblock, maybe I should!
