About BOTAN
We don't sell colour.
We reveal confidence.
BOTAN was born in Paris from one simple thought: a glow should never look unnatural. No orange tones. No streaks. No heavy smell. Just healthy, radiant skin, as if you've just come back from a weekend in the sun.

A glow that enhances, not hides.
A BOTAN glow is never about changing you. It reveals your natural beauty with a healthy radiance. That's why our formulas are skincare first, with a colour that adapts to your skin tone.

How does it work?
A natural glow. Step by step.
Prep
Cleanse and exfoliate for an even result. No body lotion or deodorant on the day itself.
Apply
The formula is applied evenly: in the studio with an ultra-fine mist, at home with the mitt.
Develop
Plant-based DHA reacts with the amino acids in the top layer of the skin. The colour develops in 4 to 8 hours.
First shower
Rinse after 6 to 8 hours with lukewarm water, no soap. Pat dry.
Glow
Enjoy an even tan for 5 to 7 days. Hydrate daily to keep it beautiful.
Why self-tan?
Sunbathing
- UV exposure
- UV accelerates skin ageing
- Dries out the skin
- Unpredictable result
BOTAN
- No UV needed
- Caring ingredients
- With hydrating aloe vera
- Even, predictable result
Please note: self-tan does not protect against the sun. Always use sun protection outdoors.
