How We Found the Most Natural, Australian-Made Tanning Formula

AUSTRALIAN TANNING RANGE INSPIRED BY THE TROPICS

As much as we love a good spray tan, nobody really wants to admit they got it at a salon! Rather, we want people to think we’re naturally glowing or that we’ve just returned from a vacation somewhere fabulous.

Self-confessed serial spray tanners, PBS founders Matt and Lisa Williams had never found a tanning formula that met their admittedly high standards — so they created their own.

“We were fortunate enough to be close friends with the owners of Tan Temple, one of Australia’s busiest tanning salons in Sydney’s Bondi Beach, and we worked together for nearly two years to create Sunescape — developing and testing our formulas on real customers,” says Matt.

“We knew that if we were going to launch a new tanning brand to market, it had to be superior to anything else out there. The tan had to look natural, fade evenly without drying the skin, and smell good. We set ourselves the task of creating formulas that were rich with skin-nourishing ingredients and would give you a natural-looking tan that you’d swear was the result of a holiday in a tropical paradise.”

Tweaked and tested weekly at Tan Temple, therapist and client feedback was crucial to the formulation process and allowed Matt and Lisa to produce a tanning range that ticked all the boxes. “We knew we were onto something when Tan Temple’s clients started to say, ‘Whatever you sprayed me in last time, I want that again!’” Lisa explains. “Then one day, Matt was trialling the final formula and a friend at the gym asked if he’d just come back from holidays!”

And so, the names of Sunescape’s varying shades were born — Weekend in Bondi (light), Week in Fiji (medium), Month in Maui (dark) and Summer in Santorini (ultra-dark).

Since then, Sunescape has become the go-to tanning formula for celebrities, influencers, models, brides and of course, everyday men and women who want to get that natural glow. With professional spray tan formulas and a gorgeous take-home retail range, if you haven’t tried Sunescape yet, best pack your bags and choose your destination!
