About this product.
The Tinge Self Tanning Drops are ultra-light, concentrated tanning drops that you easily mix with your day cream, serum or body lotion. This way, you determine the intensity yourself and gradually build your complexion, from a subtle glow to a warmer, more pronounced colour.
The light brown, transparent formula combines DHA + erythrulose with 7 MW hyaluronic acid and has a neutral scent without the typical self-tan smell. The formula consists of 98.46% natural origin ingredients and has been developed with extra attention to hydration and skin comfort.
DHA
Builds a natural, sun-kissed complexion within a few hours.
Erythrulose
Complements DHA for a more even, longer-lasting and naturally looking glow.
7 MW Hyaluronic Acid
Intensively hydrates and helps protect the skin against moisture loss.
Usage.
Mix with your skincare
Mix the tanning drops each time in your palm with your day cream, serum or moisturiser. Do not add the drops directly to a full pot of cream.
Choose your glow
For the face, use:
1–2 drops for a subtle, fresh glow
3–4 drops for a warmer complexion.
6–7 drops for a more intense complexion.
Also for the body
Mix with a generous amount of body lotion and distribute carefully over the skin.
Arms: 4–6 drops per arm
Legs: 6–8 drops per leg.
Build up gradually
The complexion develops within a few hours and lasts on average 3 to 7 days visible.
Use a small amount again every 2 to 3 days to keep your glow nice and even.
Combine wisely
For the best result, combine the drops with a neutral moisturiser or serum. Strongly acidic AHA/BHA products, high concentrations of vitamin C, and powerful retinol products are better not combined at the same time. Pure oils are also less suitable, as the water-soluble tanning actives distribute less evenly in them.
HOW LONG DOES YOUR GLOW LAST?
The colour develops gradually and remains visible on average for 3 to 7 days. By using the drops every 2 to 3 days, you can easily build up the tan and keep your glow nice and even.
Because DHA and erythrulose react with amino acids in the upper skin layer, the developed colour does not simply wash away with water or sweat. It fades gradually with the natural renewal of the skin.
TIP FOR AN EXTRA EVEN RESULT
Exfoliate the skin preferably the day before use. This removes loose, dead skin cells and creates a smoother skin surface on which the self-tan can develop more evenly.
Pay extra attention to drier areas such as elbows, knees and ankles and moisturise them beforehand if necessary.
Result: a more even tan that fades more beautifully and evenly.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about Tinge's products.
Tinge creates skincare that truly works. We combine the power of nature with science, using natural ingredients and a high concentration of active components that genuinely make a difference. Tinge blends the expertise of experienced pharmacists and engineers to develop effective and clinically proven products that efficiently address skin aging, pigmentation, and acne.
With at least 95% natural ingredients, our formulas are not only kind to your skin but also to the environment. Every ingredient is carefully selected by our team of pharmacists based on proven efficacy and is gentle even on sensitive skin. Our products are free from irritating or harmful additives such as mineral oils, silicones, parabens, SLS/SLES, or drying alcohols. Thanks to the high concentration of active ingredients, our products are highly effective and contribute to visibly healthy and radiant skin
Our production runs entirely on solar energy and takes place in controlled cleanrooms in Belgium, entirely in-house and under the strictest quality controls. This ensures exceptional product safety and quality. By keeping everything in-house, we closely monitor every step of the process, resulting in consistently high-quality skincare where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.
All our products use Aqua Purificata, a purified water that meets the strict standards of the European Pharmacopoeia. This sets a new benchmark for purity and microbial control, far beyond what is standard in the cosmetics industry. This level of purity makes our products more stable, safer, and longer-lasting. With fewer impurities and lower microbial risk, the result is reliable and skin-friendly formulas that meet stringent regulatory standards. In short, Tinge stands for innovative skincare that works — with care for people and the planet.
Using natural skincare products is important, but we go further by selecting only natural ingredients that are mild and highly compatible with the skin. Carefully chosen natural ingredients are often rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help keep skin healthy, protected, and revitalized. Moreover, they are free from harmful or irritating chemicals, fragrances, and colorants, making them ideal for sensitive skin types.
Natural products are not only better for your skin but also for the environment. Nature recognizes and breaks down natural ingredients naturally, which makes them more sustainable. They are less taxing on the environment and are often responsibly sourced.
Aqua Purificata is ultra-pure water that we produce ourselves, with minimal impurities, minerals, and contaminants. Compared to what is typically used in the cosmetics industry, it meets much higher purity standards. This makes it ideal for sensitive skin because it contains almost no ions or pollutants, significantly reducing the risk of allergic reactions and irritation. Its purity ensures that active ingredients in skincare can work more effectively, as there's less interference from impurities or minerals. This allows ingredients like antioxidants, vitamins, and moisturizers to perform optimally, contributing to visibly healthier and more radiant skin.
Yes! Tinge is fully developed and produced in Antwerp, Belgium, with a strong emphasis on local manufacturing and high quality. The brand values not only the best formulas but also sustainable practices. Production is powered entirely by solar energy, helping to reduce our ecological footprint. Every step of the process — from formulation to packaging and distribution — is carefully controlled. This enhances quality and ensures transparency, so consumers know they're choosing a product that’s good for their skin and the environment.
Yes, Tinge products are scientifically proven to be safe for sensitive skin.

Tinge products are regularly tested in collaboration with dermatologists and skincare experts to meet the highest safety standards and ensure daily use without irritation. Thanks to this scientific approach, you can trust Tinge to be safe and effective — even for the most sensitive skin.
No, Tinge products do not contain hormone-disrupting substances (also known as endocrine disruptors). We are committed to the health and safety of our customers and therefore carefully select ingredients that have no negative impact on the hormonal system. All our products are rigorously tested and meet the highest safety standards. We are fully transparent about the ingredients we use, so you can trust in the effectiveness of Tinge products, knowing they contain no harmful substances.
Tinge products are available at selected pharmacies throughout Belgium. You can easily order them via your local pharmacy — simply ask your pharmacist about our range or availability. They are also available via our official website.
The drops contain DHA and erythrulose, two sugar molecules that react with amino acids in the upper layer of the skin. This occurs via the Maillard reaction: a natural browning process that you may also know from browning bread or other foods when heated. On the skin, this happens without sun or UV radiation and gradually creates a naturally looking tan within a few hours.
For the face, we recommend starting with 1–2 drops for a subtle glow. If you want a more intense tan, you can build up to 3–4 drops or even up to 6-7 drops. Always mix the drops first in your palm with your day cream or serum. This way, the tanning drops are distributed more evenly over the skin, which helps to achieve a even tan without spots or streaks te bekomen. Daarom breng je de geconcentreerde drops best niet rechtstreeks op de huid aan.
The tan develops within a few hours and lasts on average 3 to 7 days visible. By using the drops every 2 to 3 days, you can gradually maintain the colour.
Yes. The colour develops without UV exposure, allowing you to create a sun-kissed look without sunbathing. However, the drops are not a sun protection: when you go outside, a suitable SPF remains important.
Yes. The formula is suitable for very sensitive and delicate skin, including atopic skin. In a patch test on sensitive skin the formula achieved a score of 0, which corresponds to non-irritant. In addition, it supports 7 MW hyaluronic acid the hydration and skin barrier. For exceptionally reactive skin, we recommend testing the product on a small area of skin first.
De Tinge Self Tanning Drops geven kleur zonder UV-straling and can therefore be a cosmetic alternative to sunbathing when you want to avoid UV exposure. A history of skin cancer or ongoing medical treatment does require individual medical advice; discuss the use with your dermatologist or treating physician if in doubt.
Important: the tanning drops do not replace SPF.
Self-tanners based on DHA are generally considered suitable for use during pregnancy. DHA primarily reacts in the upper, dead skin layer and systemic absorption is very limited. DHA has been used in cosmetic self-tanners for decades.
Since products are obviously not specifically tested on pregnant women, an absolute guarantee cannot be given for every individual situation. Our drops are also applied externally and not sprayed, which means there is no risk of inhalation as with self-tan sprays.
If in doubt, or if you have a medical history or very sensitive skin, we recommend first seeking advice from your doctor, pharmacist or midwife.
No. The formula is fragrance-free and has a neutral scent, without the typical self-tan smell that you notice with many classic self-tanners.
Yes. Mix them with a generous amount of body lotion and apply evenly to the skin. As a guideline, you can use 4–6 drops per arm and 6–8 drops per leg use. Preferably start lower and build up gradually.
Yes, they can be combined with most creams and serums. For the best result, use a neutral moisturiser or serum. Strong AHA/BHA products, high concentrations of vitamin C and powerful retinol products are better not used at the same time. Pure oils are less suitable because DHA is water-soluble and distributes less evenly in them.
