What makes a good tanning gummy?

A good tanning gummy comes down to dose and what's actually in it. Astaxanthin 20mg+ as the active driving the warm undertone Beta carotene as the supporting carotenoid Niacinamide and vitamin D3 for skin and overall support Avoid synthetic dyes, undisclosed 'proprietary blends', or beta-carotene-only formulas, the result is much slower and less noticeable.

How much beta carotene should tanning gummies have?

A solid dose is 6 to 10mg of beta carotene per serve. Flexies uses 8mg alongside 30mg of astaxanthin, the combination of both carotenoids creates a more balanced, golden result than beta carotene alone.

Are all tanning gummies the same?

Not even close. Many tanning gummies on the market contain only beta carotene at low doses, use synthetic colouring, or skip independent testing. The ingredient list, dosage transparency, and sourcing all matter. That's why we publish every ingredient and dose on the label.

How long do tanning gummies take to show results?

With consistent daily use, most people notice a warmer skin tone within 3 to 4 weeks, with the fuller glow building by 8 to 12 weeks. The effect is gradual and builds over time, it's a subtle glow, not an instant colour change.
