Sunescape – Sunless tanning

Sunscape is an Australian owned and made sunless tanning range that was born by the beach in Sydney’s iconic Bondi and developed in partnership with Australia’s number one tanning salon, Tan Temple. After years of working closely with salons all over the country, the creators of Sunescape saw a gap in the market for a sunless tan formula that gave a healthy colour without streaking, patchiness, dryness or an orange undertone, and that was formulated without the use harmful ingredients. As a result, PBS founders Matt and Lisa set out to create a premium sunless tanning range and now Sunescape is known and loved for its natural-looking, long-lasting colour and delicious signature scent. Rest assured that this is a tan your clients will come back for time and time again!
