About the Tan
What makes Australian Glow different from every other self tanner?
Short answer: we don't turn you orange. Long answer: salon-grade DHA, a formula that actually develops into a natural golden bronze (not tangerine), and zero harsh chemicals. We're vegan, cruelty-free, Aussie-made, and sitting at a 4.9 out of 5 across 4,500+ reviews. So yeah — different.
Is it actually vegan and cruelty-free?
100%. Every product. No exceptions, no loopholes, no "oh but this one ingredient" fine print. We don't test on animals and nothing in our range is animal-derived. This isn't a marketing flex — it's non-negotiable.
Where is it made?
Australia. Proudly, loudly, entirely. Australian-owned, Australian-made, with local manufacturers who care about quality as much as we do. The clue's in the name.
How long until I look incredible?
Our Express Mousse develops in 1–3 hours. Wash off early for "I just came back from Byron" or leave it longer for "I literally live on a yacht." Our Ultra Dark Mousse takes 4–8 hours for a deep, rich bronze that means business.
How long does it last?
5–7 days of looking unreasonably good. Moisturise daily, avoid marathon baths, and it fades evenly — no patchiness, no weird elbow situations. Just a graceful exit.
Can I put it on my face?
Absolutely. We have a dedicated face range that's lightweight and won't clog your pores. If you're using body mousse, a thin layer with fingertips works too — just go easy around the hairline unless you want tanned ears. (You don't.)
What about sensitive skin?
We skipped the parabens, sulfates, and anything your skin would side-eye. We added Aloe Vera and Vitamin E instead because we're nice like that. Still — do a patch test 24 hours before your first full application. Trust the process.
Still Not Sure?
Take the quiz. It's basically a personality test but for your tan. Two minutes, zero judgement, one perfect match.

Where do you ship?
Everywhere that wants to look good — so, everywhere. We ship Australia-wide and internationally. Orders over $50 AUD get free shipping within Australia. International shipping costs are calculated at checkout.
How long does shipping take?
Australian orders land in 3–7 business days. International orders take 7–14 business days depending on where you are. You'll get a tracking number so you can refresh it obsessively. We won't judge.
What if I need to return something?
We accept returns within 14 days for unused, unopened products in original packaging. If something arrives damaged, email hello@australianglow.com and we'll sort it out. No drama.
Where to Buy
Where can I find you in stores?
Priceline. Big W. Amazon. Nordstrom. Revolve. Your best friend's bathroom. We get around. Or just shop at australianglow.com and skip the crowds entirely.
Do you do wholesale?
Yes! If you're a retailer who wants in, hit up hello@australianglow.com with your details. We're always keen to meet people who appreciate a good tan.
OK But I Have More Questions
