Kiri Organics founder Sarah McKim had been looking for some time for a natural tanning product, a product that would give her a tan without having to endure the allergic reactions she had encountered with a number of self-tan products. It wasn't just the various shades of orange and lingering smell of fake tans that drove her forward, during the researching process she was herself diagnosed with Melanoma cancer. Further investigation revealed that of the 2,000 cases of Melanoma cancer detected worldwide each year, approximately 370 Kiwis lose that battle each year, by far the highest in the world. So, finding and creating a safe tan alternative with natural colour without it being a chemical-laden substitute became extremely important for her and as New Zealanders, to us! Thus, Kiri Organics was born. Made in New Zealand, and certified in New Zealand, the company's organic body care products are safer and healthier for you, your skin, and the environment.
We are all over the first product off the rank, Kiri Organics Natural Dark Tan - or should we say it is all over us! Created with 100% natural and 74% certified organic ingredients, Natural Dark Tan is also a premium quality tanning product. Only a few applications will have you looking awesome and with the onset of winter, that summer tan is fading fast! You first exfoliate using the Kiri Organics Exfoliating Mitt and then apply all over, getting a friend perhaps to do your back! Certified by BioGro NZ, made in New Zealand, not tested on animals, what's not to love! Available online here...
