All NUDA products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. They are only tested on NUDA babes!

NUDA products are made in Canada and in the United States.

Although NUDA’s formulas have been formulated to dry quickly and to be transfer resistant, we recommend wearing loose fitting, dark clothing after the application. If you are to sleep with your tan, we recommend wearing full length clothing. The solution is water-soluble and can easily be removed from most fabrics.

Your tan should stay even and streak-free. However heavy sweating on a regular basis can result in faster fading.

NUDA self tanning products can be rinsed off after 6 hours, but for a deeper tan we advise avoiding showering, swimming, and perspiring for 6 to 10 hours to allow your tan to develop fully on the skin.

No, NUDA’s self tanning products do not contain any UV-protective agents. Our products do not protect skin from being sunburned and your skin can still tan. You should always apply sunscreen prior to sun exposure.

DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is the active ingredient in most sunless tanning products. It is a sugar molecule which is naturally-derived from the beets or the sugar cane. This ingredient reacts to the amino acids on the surface of the skin to simulate a tan. The intensity of the final tan will depend on the strength of DHA contained within the product.

We do have a lot of retailers in Canada and in the United States. However, there is no detailed list of all the locations that sell NUDA products. You can shop them right here on our website.

DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) acts only on the top layer of the skin. NUDA’s formulas are non-toxic and there is no evidence that demonstrates the harmfulness of DHA. However, each pregnancy is different, and we recommend consulting your doctor if you have any questions prior use.

A detailed ingredient list can be easily found on the page of each product.

How can I ensure an optimal exfoliation?

To ensure a perfect exfoliation, we recommend using the Body Exfoliant paired with the Exfoliating Mitt. The best way to exfoliate the skin is by soaking in a warm bath for 10–20 minutes and use the Exfoliating Mitt. As the skin softens, it will be easier to remove the dead skin cells and old tan residue. Complete your exfoliation by applying the Body Exfoliant in circular motion, then rinse it off.
