Aussie ‘clean’ fake tan company sells a bottle every 40 minutes: Three Warriors

A homegrown Australian tanning company sells one bottle of its highly-coveted gradual tan every 40 minutes, so you can prolong your summer glow well into autumn.

A favourite of natural beauties Kiera Rumble and Sonia Kruger the Three Warriors Gradual Tan ($34.95) glides on easily, leaving you with smooth, hydrated skin.

This hydrating cream formula is infused with olive, coconut and avocado oils to deeply moisturise the skin, while providing Vitamins A, D and E to lock in hydration.

The additional benefit of key ingredients chamomile extract and aloe vera help aid in calming the skin and reducing any inflammation. 

Three Warriors is a range of mousse, mist and liquid fake tan that’s making huge waves in the clean beauty industry thanks to its chemical-free ingredients sourced in Tasmania that leave skin looking sun-kissed without exposing it to UV rays.

The formula, which is scented with fresh lime and doesn’t produce the stale biscuit-like smell typically associated with fake tan, fades evenly without becoming patchy.

Suitable for all skin types, each $34.95 bottle leaves complexions looking naturally bronzed – not orange.

The brand, which has been certified as organic, vegan and cruelty-free, was founded in 2017 by Hobart hair stylist Corbin Halliday

This is thanks to three ‘wonder’ ingredients: raw hand-pressed olive oil, pure Tasmanian spring water and chamomile flower which work together to moisturise and strengthen the skin’s barrier function

The brand, which has been certified as organic, vegan and cruelty-free, was founded in 2017 by Hobart hair stylist Corbin Halliday.

‘The way we stand out is we’re not a warm orange base like other tans on the market, we’re a violet cool tone which goes on naturally on all skin tones,’ he told Daily Mail Australia.

Mr Halliday created the tan with his best friend, a biochemist, after he was diagnosed with chronic inflammatory response syndrome – a debilitating condition also known as biotoxin illness which is caused by long-term exposure to damp and mould.

Symptoms include migraines, anxiety, brain fog, memory loss, intense fatigue and full-body nerve pain which Mr Halliday still experiences today. 

His frightening health journey inspired him to change his diet and adopt a lifestyle free from chemicals and synthetic additives.

Mr Halliday hopes the story behind his fake tan will raise awareness about the hidden toxins we put on and into our bodies everyday. And it’s clearly paying dividends. 

‘Sales have gone gangbusters,’ Mr Halliday said.
