I am finally getting around to trying Lux Unfiltered’s NO 32 gradual self-tanning cream, created by Sivan Ayla, one of my favorite influencers to follow on Instagram.
Finding a clean beauty self-tanner that smells good and actually works is no small task but I’m really excited to share this one. Check out my full Luxe Unfiltered review below!
Lux Unfiltered Review
Lux Unfiltered’s NO 32 gradual self-tanning cream is cruelty free, gluten free, paraben free, paraffin free, phthalate free, silicone free, sulfate free, and vegan. I took a deep dive into each and every ingredient which you can read more about below.
The self-tanning cream was super easy to apply. After exfoliating in the shower, it basically applies like a regular lotion. It’s pretty “goof proof” in terms of application or streaking (just be sure to wash your hands with soap and water afterwards).
The rose scent is very light and there is essentially no trace of the dreaded DHA smell a lot of other self tanners have. I will say that after wearing for 24 hours the scent intensifies a bit, but it’s still very faint.
The lotion dries super quickly and has never rubbed off on my white sheets and towels or any clothing which is a HUGE plus.
I love that the color is a rich brown tone with no orange streaky vibes in sight.

EWG Score*: 3
*If I brand or product is not listed on the EWG, I will research the score of each and every ingredient and find the average to arrive at a final score.
Other Considerations:
- Fragrance: is listed as an ingredient. Per FDA guidelines, a company is not required to disclose each and every ingredient that makeup the “fragrance”. Therefore full “clean beauty data” on this products is limited.
- Phenoxyethanol- a preservative used in a lot of clean beauty skincare products in place of parabens. Products that contain any amount of water in the formula need preservatives to ensure that potentially hazardous microbes do not contaminate the product. This is also the last ingredient listed in the product so it’s safe to say the concentration is extremely low.
Tips For The Perfect Self Tan:
- Exfoliate in the shower before applying the lotion.
- Apply in circular motions rather than rubbing up and down.
- Use any excess lotion on your knees and feet.
- Wait at least 5 minutes before getting dressed so the lotion has a chance to dry.
- Try to avoid contact with water for at least 8 hours for your tan to full develop.
