Product Details
The No.1 Tan Drops acts as a simple supplement to your moisturizer, nurturing your skin with good ingredients and a gorgeous golden glow. Simply add a couple of drops to your moisturizer, mix it together in your palm and allocate it evenly on the designated area, where you want to tan. They are easy to use, dose and control – and you can both apply them directly to your skin, or mix them with your moisturizer. Both will give you a gorgeous golden glow.
The No.2 Tan Water gives you a gorgeous golden glow, in the easiest and most natural way. You simply pump a few sprays either directly to your skin or into your palm. Then use circular motions to distribute the Tan Water evenly, and within a few hours, you’ll experience a natural looking healthy summer glow, giving you a velvety bare skin look.
Both are natural processes and won’t clog your pores or cause breakouts, nor contain any oils, making them suitable for people suffering from rosacea and acne. They’ve been heavily used by people with acne and rosacea challenges – giving them a natural, golden, glowy tan, without any problems. They’re allergen, fragrance, and paraben free, besides being free of endocrine disruptors and non-comedogenic and very gentle towards your skin.
Your benefits
The No.1 Tan Drops provides you with a naturally looking and made, golden glow. The golden drops can either be applied directly onto your skin or be mixed into your favorite moisturizer/lotion, to give you some extra hydration. The drops will reduce the visibility of redness in your skin, giving you a more even looking skin and glowy complexion.
The No.2 Tan Water aids you with a nutritious, healthy and natural looking glowy skin, giving you a velvety feeling and look. The tan is created due to DHA (read more in the Key Ingredients-section), naturally activating the melanin in the deeper layers of your skin, so the color isn’t a layer added on top of your skin, but built from within and naturally. This also makes your tan more long lasting.
Neither contain oils, so they won’t clog your pores, cause breakouts and are non-comedogenic. People suffering from acne and rosacea problems will be safe when using it, and it will even give you a more homogeneous looking skin, and reduce redness. They’re also safe to use while pregnant and breastfeeding.

Key ingredients
Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, is a colorless sugar compound that’s used in most self-tanners. It can be derived synthetically, or from sugar beets and canes. When DHA interacts with the amino acids in the proteins of the skin cells, the production of melanoids – brown pigments – happens, which creates a tanned appearance.
This reaction only occurs in the top layer of the skin, which is why self tanners aren’t permanent. At Boë we use the smallest possible particles that go deeper in the skin, compared to other self tan products. This is why the tan from Boë’s products have a long lasting natural tan color.
– DHA is generally well-tolerated by most people, though it can cause both contact dermatitis (rashes, irritation, redness) as well as an allergy. We have though never experienced any customers getting allergic reactions, alone from Boë’s products.
Erythrulose is a yellow to reddish sugar found in red berries, most commonly raspberries. Like DHA, it tans the skin due to a reaction with the amino acids (proteins) in the skin’s dead surface layer, producing a brownish tint.
It works in much the same manner as DHA. None of the ingredients use the skin’s normal pigmentation or UV-exposure to produce the tan coloration. But rather works as a chemical reaction on the skin’s dead surface cell layer and changes the skin cells to a brownish tone. At Boë we blend Erythrulose with DHA – to help the tan tone appear “richer”, deeper, and more even. The combination of Erythrulose and DHA gives you a more ‘natural’ look, as Erythrulose has a warmer/darker tone than the more orangey-colored DHA. Though this can vary depending on the individual, as each person’s unique skin may differ.
Glycerin is a natural component in healthy skin. When used in skincare, it’s typically derived from vegetable fats (like coconut oil, soy or palm) or produced synthetically. The glycerin used by Boë and in our products, is found and derived from non GMO Soy Oil – which makes it 100% natural and vegan. Glycerin is a hygroscopic ingredient, meaning it attracts the moisture from the air surrounding us, and helps us to contain it in our skin. Glycerin imitates the skin’s natural moisturizing factors in the skin’s fat layer, making it crucial for the skin’s ability to tie water in the superior skin layer. Besides being an eminent humectant, glycerin protects against environmental sources of skin irritation. It strengthens the precious skin barriers, besides helping other ingredients to penetrate the skin better. Glycerin helps to maintain a healthy and good moisture balance in your skin, and when the moisture balance is ‘normal’ your skin will feel soft, smooth and elastic, making it receptive to skincare and other products. Lastly, it aids in improving the skin’s youthful look.
Propanediol is a glycol that improves and increases the absorption of other ingredients, creating an improvement to their effectiveness. It also provides the skin with moisture, which contributes to the aforementioned velvety, dewy look, that the No.2 Tan Water provides. It’s a well tolerated ingredient, which is sensitive to the skin. Propanediol can naturally be found and derived in corn, and also manufactured synthetically.
Sodium PCA is regenerating your skin and its smoothening effect, and Dimethyl Isosorbide works as a tan booster. Lastly, Glyceryl Glucoside (Glycoin) works as a moisturizing agent and skin softener.

Why it's special
The No.1 Tan Drops are easy to use drops that you can apply directly onto your skin, or mix them with your moisturizer. They give your skin a natural golden glow and dewy touch. Best of all, you won’t experience any clogged pores or greasy feeling, and since. No.1 is also formulated with Glycoin that is a 100% natural, multifunctional, anti-aging, and cell-boosting active ingredient, that reactivates the power of youth in tired, stressed, and mature skin. The elasticity of your skin will increase, and the formula will also decrease the skin’s stress caused by blue light and pollution. It’ll lead to stimulation of cell vitality, tissue repairing and cell renewal, resulting in a younger looking skin.
The No.2 Tan Water has from the beginning been one of our bestsellers. It gives you a glowy and dewy touch, in just two hours and you feel like you got your real summer tan. It doesn’t clog your pores or cause breakouts, or the greasy feeling known from other self tanners – and no oily residue. Since it’s free from any oils, you can use it all year and by all skin types, without worrying about bad side effects.
The combination of Glycerin, DHA and Propanediol gives you a natural tan, homogenic, smooth, silky and youthful looking skin, serving off a natural no makeup make-up look – without make-up. The elasticity of your skin is also increased and so is its ability to receive and ‘digest’ other ingredients in your skin.
Easy Skin for Life!
