✨ Ingredient Spotlight: Ordenone

DHA development odor can sometimes occur as part of the tanning reaction. How it’s handled is where formulation matters.

Arumé uses Ordenone, a water-based odor-neutralizing technology that encapsulates and inactivates malodor molecules at the source. It’s listed as “Fragrance (Parfum)” on the INCI due to regulatory structure, but its function is far more specific than traditional fragrance masking. 🌼

Hydrā and Soltí were recently featured on — The January Refresh Guide: Gentle Wellness After the Holidays ✨

Recognized for formulas that support skin-first care, hydration, and a more intentional approach to sunless.

Honored to be included alongside wellness-focused favorites as people reset, restore, and rebuild their routines. 🔆

Hard truth — A tan is only as good as its aftercare. 💫

Your turn. Finish the sentence in the comments:
“Tanning without consistent aftercare is like…”

Vitrè was built with an esthetician’s eye, years of sunless tanning experience, and a skin-first approach.

Sheridan’s esthetics background shaped every decision made for this formula, from barrier function and hydration to ingredient behavior and how skin responds over time, not just how it looks in the mirror.

From texture to absorption to how skin feels hours and days later, nothing about the development process was rushed. Every ingredient was hand-selected and had to support both skin health and real-world performance.

🥒 Cucumber Fruit Extract to help calm the skin and reduce visible redness through its naturally soothing, water-binding properties.
🫒 Squalane to support the lipid barrier and minimize transepidermal water loss, keeping skin balanced and comfortable post-development.
💧 Hyaluronic Acid to attract and retain moisture within the skin, supporting sustained hydration and improved skin feel over time.

Skin-first sunless, done intentionally.

Winter skin diagnosis: ashy, dry, uneven, unwell.

Rx: hydration, a natural-looking glow, and a routine worth keeping. ✨

Side effects may include confidence and unsolicited “what products are you using?” dm’s.

Right: After Toastē
A true brown. Every time. 🤎

Your nighttime glow routine. 🌙

Oilē melts into skin right after the shower, when hydration absorbs best, leaving it soft and supple with a subtle sheen on tanned or untanned skin.

Let Vitrè be the final skincare step before bed, bringing a natural, even bronze to the face while you rest.

Your morning glow… already handled. 🔆

Most lotions only hydrate for a few hours... Hydrā is formulated to provide hydration for up to 72. ✨

Powered by saccharide isomerate, a bio-affinitive carbohydrate complex, Hydrā binds to the skin in a way traditional humectants cannot. By mimicking components of the skin’s natural moisturizing factors, this hero ingredient anchors water within the stratum corneum and continues to replenish hydration over time, even after washing.

The lightweight gel-cream texture absorbs immediately, supports the skin barrier, and dries down to a soft, powder-like finish that feels clean on the skin. This allows hydration to remain consistent without heaviness, residue, or interference with sunless color development.

For tanning, sustained hydration is essential. Well-hydrated skin maintains color integrity longer and allows a tan to fade gradually and evenly, rather than breaking down unevenly due to dryness or barrier disruption. Hydrā was developed specifically to support this process, making it an ideal daily moisturizer before, during, and after a spray tan.

Because the quality of a tan is determined by the quality of the skin beneath it. 💫
