Carrot balm is the thicker, richer sister of our Carrot tanning oil: the same carrot and walnut base with beta-carotene and a coconut scent, but in a firmer texture with beeswax, for care that stays on the skin longer. Important: the balm contains no sun protection factor, so it is not a replacement for an SPF cream, but care to use alongside it.
What the balm does (and what it doesn't)
Beta-carotene and carotenoids from carrot give the skin a warmer tone and help your tan look more even and last longer. Walnut oil and beeswax form a nourishing layer that locks in moisture, so after the sun the skin feels smooth and soft rather than tight.
The balm does not protect against UV rays. Always get your sun protection from a cream with a sun protection factor.
Carrot balm or carrot oil: which to choose
- Balm – a firmer texture that stays on the skin longer; handy for targeted dry areas (shoulders, décolletage, shins) and for anyone who doesn't like liquid oil.
- Oil – spreads more easily over the whole body and absorbs faster; more practical for the beach.
- Many people combine the two: oil for the whole body, balm for dry areas and after-sun care.
Who the carrot balm is for
- All skin types, especially dry skin for which ordinary oils are not enough.
- Skin that feels tight after the sun – rich care that brings back softness.
- All year round – in winter too, to keep the skin well cared for and its tone warmer.
- Children from 3 years – always together with an SPF cream.

Frequently asked questions about carrot balm
Does carrot balm protect you from the sun?
No. The balm has no sun protection factor and does not protect against UVA and UVB radiation. Always combine it with an SPF cream: balm first, then SPF.
Will my skin tan faster?
Beta-carotene helps your tan look warmer and more even, and last longer. How fast you tan depends on your skin type and the time you spend in the sun; the balm is no substitute for sensible sun exposure or for sun protection.
What is the difference between carrot balm and carrot oil?
The formulas are related; the difference is in the texture: the balm is firmer (with beeswax) and stays on the skin longer, the oil is liquid and spreads faster. For dry areas and after-sun care, the balm; for the whole body at the beach, the Carrot tanning oil.
Can it be used in winter?
Yes. In winter too it cares for the skin and helps keep a warmer skin tone, especially on dry areas.

How to use
You can use the balm before, during, and after sunbathing.
Before sunbathing, apply it to clean skin to prepare your skin for sun exposure.
During sunbathing, reapply as needed to maintain hydration and promote tanning.
After sunbathing, apply the balm to soothe and nourish the skin.
When using the balm in winter, apply it to the skin after showering to restore moisture and nourishment to the skin.
