Born and bred California natives, Will and Tyler are big believers in the therapeutic benefits of a healthy dose of Vitamin D. As avid surfers and lifelong beach bums turned entrepreneurs, they’ve witnessed the essential role that sunshine plays in one’s health and happiness – and, of course, occasionally experienced its harsh effects after overexposure. In trying to protect ourselves from the sun completely 24/7, though, it’s easy to wonder if we’ve overcorrected… considering at least half of Americans suffer from a Vitamin D deficiency. Will and Tyler’s mission? To strike a happy medium. To help people bronze responsibly. After lifelong hands-on R&D, they were sick of toxic tanning oils and chemical-ridden old school sunscreens. They were optimistic about the new generation of clean, reef-safe SPFs, but still felt something was missing from their sun care routines. They needed a hydrating, nourishing and skin-soothing product that could work with the sun, rather than only against it. 

Enter Royal Tanning Balm: a clean, non-toxic formula of rich botanicals and royal jelly to keep skin hydrated and nourished in the sun for a healthy glow. Thoughtfully crafted with purposeful, functional ingredients like antioxidants and natural UV absorbers to restore moisture and help protect skin from sun damage, its ingredient label is short and sweet – royal jelly, shea butter and coconut, olive, Vitamin E, grapeseed, red raspberry seed, geranium and jojoba oils. The esthetician-approved body balm also plays well with your favorite mineral SPF, and works in the sun, after sun, and any time your skin needs a hydration boost. Produced sustainably in California with 100% recyclable and plastic-free packaging.
