Eight products, one shelf, no filler. Every formula we make earned its place over the counter at Beautano, our sunbed salon in Glasgow, where the rule has never changed: if it streaks, it doesn't get made. Every full-size is £20, so the only real question is which one suits your skin and your habits. Here's the honest picker.
First time on a sunbed? Mango Mousse
Mango Mousse is the easy first pick. It's a light, foaming mousse that works in fast, dries fast and doesn't leave you sticky — you can get dressed without waiting about. No tingle, no heat, ripe mango scent. If you're new and unsure, start here and you won't go wrong.
Want the strongest we make? Extreme Coconut
Extreme Coconut carries double the peptide blend of our standard mousses, making it the deepest formula on the shelf. Here's the bit people get wrong: strong doesn't mean hot. There's no tingle in it at all. It's for regular tanners who've maxed out the standard range and want to push further, with a tropical coconut scent instead of that classic tanning-cream smell.
Like the heat? Banana Tingle
Banana Tingle is our one and only tingle formula: proper warmth, some redness, a sensation that seasoned tanners rate and first-timers shouldn't start with. Patch test 24 hours before your first use, keep it off your face, and if your skin's sensitive, pick literally anything else on this page. Sunbed use only for this one. We've written a full guide, tingle creams, explained, if you want the detail.
Skin runs dry? Pineapple Butter
Pineapple Butter is the richest texture we make: a buttery cream with coconut seed oil that melts in as you massage it. Rich doesn't mean greasy; it absorbs properly and leaves skin soft. If your skin drinks moisturiser and still asks for more, this is your jar. Fresh pineapple scent, no tingle.
Prefer something light? Cherry Jelly
Cherry Jelly is for people who hate heavy creams: a fast-absorbing jelly with added collagen that spreads easily and doesn't sit on the skin. It suits dry skin too, but the real reason to pick it is texture. Light, quick, sweet cherry scent, done. No tingle.
Face and touch-ups? Watermelon Wand
The Watermelon Wand is the precision tool: twist the base, apply straight from the wand, and put cream exactly where you want it. Face, smaller areas, topping up between full applications. It's compact, quick-drying and keeps your hands clean. Lives happily in a handbag. Heat-free, juicy watermelon scent.
Lots of sessions? The mini multipacks
Mini Mango Mousse and Mini Coconut Mousse are the full formulas in handbag-size cans, sold in three pack sizes: 10 for £40, 25 for £90 or 50 for £150. The bigger the pack, the better the price per mini. They're for gym bags, weekends away, and anyone who gets through sessions quickly. The Mini Coconut carries our classic coconut bronzing formula, the everyday one rather than the double-strength Extreme blend. And if you're a salon, apply for a trade account before you order.
Why everything's £20
Because it makes the decision honest. When every full-size jar on the shelf costs the same, you pick the formula that suits your skin instead of the one your budget backs you into, and we never have to invent a premium tier to justify a price tag. £20 a jar, whichever way your skin leans. The multipacks are the only exception, and they exist to make the per-can price cheaper, not dearer.

Still not sure?
The whole range is at sunbed creams, and if you're genuinely stuck between two, ask us. You'll get an answer from the people who sell these over a real salon counter every day, and if the honest answer is the cheaper option, that's the answer you'll get.
