This 500-Year-Old Brazilian Ritual Could Be the All-Natural Secret to the Best Tan of Your Life

Why thousands of women are ditching chemical-filled tanning oils for this Amazonian organic skin-care ritual to get a deep, dark, glowy tan while leaving their skin soft and healthy. 

She walked in from the beach, and I remember thinking, ‘Wow, her skin looks like she’s ten years younger.’ 

 

That was the moment it clicked. Her skin didn’t just look beautiful—it looked cared for, nourished, alive. And that stuck with me.”

 

All throughout my childhood, people would gush over my mom’s skin—but I didn’t really get it until I was in my teens. She had just returned from the beach at our home in Florianópolis, Brazil, her skin glowing, not the fake kind of glow I’d later see from drugstore bottles, but something richer. 

 

Deeper. Radiant. Her skin didn’t just look tan and beautiful, it looked healthy.

 

Not flaky. Not orange. Not tight, wrinkled or dry. Just soft, golden, and luminous.

This is my mother in 1997 in Brazil

Her secret wasn’t in a bottle you’d find on a shelf in America, let alone anywhere else in the world. 

 

It was something handed down through generations of Brazilian women in our family. Something made in the kitchen, not a lab. A skin ritual rooted in centuries of Amazonian wisdom and nature-based skincare.

 

At the time, I didn’t fully understand it. But I never forgot it.

 

And I wanted in on her secret! I was 15 when I started to use her little potion. 

I remember my friends telling me they could always find me from afar because I was the darkest girl on the beach.  

 

Years later, after moving to the U.S., and not having access to her tanning oil, I began experimenting with tanning products from all the major brands. I tried foams. Mousses. Sprays. Oils. You name it.

 

And here’s what I discovered the hard way:

❌ Most tanning oils are doing your skin more harm than good

You’d think a product meant to beautify your skin would actually do that.

 

They want you to believe that the sun is poison, but here’s the real problem—it’s not the sun that is bad and damaging your skin. It’s what you’re putting on it while you're in the sun.

 

In Brazil, we live for the sun. We spend our days outside, barefoot and glowing, not afraid of the sunshine but connected to it. The sun is life, it boosts mood, supports hormones, and nourishes the skin when respected.

 

But what most people don’t realize is that the real danger is slathering your skin in drugstore tanning products filled with toxins, carcinogens, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals then baking in the sun. Most people don’t realize that anything we apply to our skin gets absorbed into our bloodstream within minutes.

 

Overexposure isn’t what we’re advocating for. But healthy, intentional time in the sun? That’s a good thing—as long as your skin is protected with ingredients that work with your body, not against it.

 

The problem is, most tanning oils on shelves today are loaded with toxic and harmful ingredients:

Octocrylene – A chemical that can turn into something harmful called benzophenone. It may hurt your skin over time and also pollutes the ocean.

 

Homosalate – This can mess with your body’s natural hormones and builds up in your body the more you use it.

 

Ethylhexyl Salicylate – Can make your skin itchy or red, and it’s also harmful to fish and water animals.

 

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate – May not be safe for your brain over time and adds too much aluminum to your body.

 

Phenoxyethanol – A fake chemical that helps keep products fresh but can make your skin break out or get irritated.

 

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone) – Breaks down in the sun and can make your skin age faster instead of protecting it.

 

PEG-100 Stearate – Can be made with chemicals that might cause cancer. Also dries out your skin.

 

Synthetic Fragrance – Often a mix of secret chemicals that can mess with your hormones and make your skin itchy or red.

 

Disodium EDTA – Helps other chemicals sink deeper into your skin—sometimes carrying in the bad stuff too. Also pollutes the water.

 

Any of your tanning oils or sunscreen in your beach bag have those ingredients? 

 

You see, these formulas are focused on two things: low-cost ingredients and long-term profits, Your skin? That’s barely an afterthought.

 

But at what cost?

 

Here’s what happened to me and so many women I’ve spoken to after using big brand tanning products:

  • Skin got drier and more irritated.
  • Fine lines looked even deeper.
  • Tan faded fast and turned patchy.
  • Needed more lotion to ease the skin damage.
  • Lost the confidence that a tan should bring.

That’s when it hit me: the problem wasn’t the sun, it was the toxins behind these bottles. What we needed wasn’t another quick fix. It was something with real, natural, and skin loving ingredients. 

From Mother to Daughter to You, the tanning oil that changes everything

This is the reason my mother’s skin looked so amazing that day and every day since even after years in the sun in Brazil.

 

And now I understand why.

 

What made her skin so radiant wasn’t a chemical-filled bottle or a fleeting trend, it was something far older, far wiser.

 

A ritual passed down through generations. Crafted from the earth. Designed to protect, nourish, and restore your skin especially when the sun is involved. 

 

Every time I visited Brazil, my mom would make me a fresh bottle of her homemade tanning oil to bring back with me. It was our little ritual—straight from her kitchen, made with love and all-natural ingredients she swore by.

 

Back in the States, I’d go back to work as a model, and without fail, people would ask me the same thing: “What do you use on your skin?” or “I know you're Brazilian but your tan? is that natural?” At first, I didn’t think much of it. But over time, I realized—it was the oil. That was the secret.

 

Soon, my friends were using it, and falling in love with it too, and kept asking where they could buy a bottle.

 

And just like that, the little potion my mom used to make for me became something so much bigger—something I now get to share with you.

 

Brazi Bronze's 100% Natural & Organic Tanning Oil.

 

Our 100% Natural & Organic Tanning Oil wasn’t made to chase the clean beauty trend. 

It is the original clean beauty. The one our mothers and grandmothers trusted before the industry filled our routines with harsh formulas, damaged skin, and empty promises.

 

It’s the same Amazonian-inspired, plant-powered blend my mother used to make in the kitchen in our home. It is rooted in Indigenous tradition, handcrafted with care, passed down with love, and now shared with you.

 

At the heart of Brazi Bronze's natural tanning oil is Urucum.

Also known as annatto, Urucum seeds were used by Indigenous tribes in the Amazon for centuries, not just for their vibrant red pigment, but for their powerful skin-nourishing properties.

 

These seeds are rich in beta-carotene, a plant compound known to:

  • Naturally stimulate melanin production (your skin’s own tanning hormone)
  • Act as a potent antioxidant to protect against sun damage
  • Support skin elasticity and radiance over time

But we didn’t stop there. This is a complete skin-loving & skin-care formula whcih also includes:

 

✅ Sweet Almond Oil – Deeply hydrates dry or mature skin & rich in vitamins A & E
✅ Carrot Oil – High in antioxidants & beta-carotene helping amplify your skin's natural glow
✅ Zero Synthetic Dyes, Fragrance, or Fillers – Just plants, purpose, and purity

 

Together, these ingredients do more than tan, they treat your skin while it tans.

 

That means:

✅ Skin feels softer and smoother after every use

✅ Your tan blends evenly - no blotches, no new wrinkles

✅ You’ll glow in natural light, not just bathroom lighting

✅ No clogged pores or post-sun irritation

✅ Real nourishment, not just temporary color

 

Just a healthy, hydrated glowing tan that looks like you, but even more radiant

This Is How You Fall Back in Love With Your Skin

Since launching Brazi Bronze in 2020, I’ve received messages from women in their 20s, 30s, 50s, even 70s, all saying the same thing:

 

“This doesn’t just make me glow, it makes me feel good in my skin.”

“I’ve never had a tan that actually improved my skin texture.”

“It’s like self-care in a bottle. I actually look forward to using it.”

"Best tanning oil I've ever used! My skin feels and looks amazing!"

 

And that’s what this is really about.

 

Because if you're here, maybe you’ve felt the same way:

 

✨ You’ve tried every trending tanner and none of them actually care for your skin.
✨ You want that golden glow, but you’re tired of the orange streaks, dry patches, and sticky residue.
✨ You want to feel confident in your skin again not like you’re hiding under a layer of dye.
✨ You want something clean. Natural. Safe. Real. Something with meaning.

 

Brazi Bronze isn’t a quick-fix. It’s not a viral TikTok product. It’s a ritual, rooted in legacy, made with love, and designed to restore your skin and give you the best tan you've ever had.

 

When we say it’s a confidence ritual, we mean it. Because it’s more than just glow, it’s the moment you choose to nourish yourself.

 

You deserve more than a surface-level chemical stain. You deserve a tan that loves your skin back.

 

✨ Your glow is waiting. And it starts with the bottle that started it all.
