What does beta carotene do for tanning?

Beta carotene is a natural pigment that accumulates in your skin when consumed regularly. With consistent daily intake, it can support a warmer, golden-looking undertone over time. It doesn't stimulate melanin or require UV exposure.

Is astaxanthin better than beta carotene for tanning?

There isn't one universal "best" pigment. Beta carotene leads the Sun Kissed formula, while astaxanthin, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin add a broader range of naturally occurring colour pigments. The finished result and timing can vary with skin tone, diet and consistency.

How much beta carotene is in Flexies Tanning Gummies?

Each two-gummy serve contains 25mg beta carotene, plus lycopene, astaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin. L-tyrosine, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, copper, zinc and riboflavin are also listed with their exact amounts on the label.

Can I take too much beta carotene?

Follow the labelled two-gummy daily serve and avoid stacking it with other high-dose beta carotene supplements unless a health professional advises otherwise. High, prolonged beta carotene intake can cause a yellow-orange skin tint. Smokers and people who previously smoked should check with their GP before using beta carotene supplements.

Is beta carotene the same as vitamin A?

Beta carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, which means your body can convert some of it as needed. It is not the same ingredient as preformed vitamin A (retinol), but the labelled serve and safety warnings still matter.

what beta carotene does

Beta carotene is the orange-red pigment found in carrots, sweet potato and pumpkin. With consistent intake, some of that colour can show through the skin as a warmer, golden-looking undertone. It builds gradually and does not require UV exposure.

more than one shade of glow

Beta carotene leads the colour story, while lycopene, astaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin bring their own red, pink and golden pigments. Together, they support a warmer-looking tone without relying on one ingredient to do everything.

the full two-gummy serve

Every serve of Sun Kissed contains 25mg beta carotene, 2mg lycopene, 1mg astaxanthin, 4mg lutein and 0.35mg zeaxanthin. L-tyrosine and supporting vitamins and minerals round out the daily formula, with every amount shown on the label.

a glow, not fake tan

Fake tan uses DHA to colour the skin's surface. Sun Kissed works differently: the pigments are taken daily and the warmth builds gradually from within. There is nothing to apply, streak or transfer, but results vary and it is not an instant colour change.
