Eco Tan by Sonya: A New Standard in Organic Skincare

We all love that sun-kissed look, but we definitely don’t love the sun damage that often comes with it. For years, people had to choose between harmful UV tanning or chemical-heavy fake tans that smelled unpleasant and left the skin looking uneven.

Then came Eco Tan by Sonya, Australia’s first certified organic tanning range. Today the name represents a trusted collection of skincare and self-tanning products made with organic, cruelty-free ingredients.

Whether you’re familiar with the brand or just getting started, the recent branding changes can make the range harder to follow. In this blog, we’ll explain the reason behind the name change, explore why the range has become so popular, and highlight the Eco Tan by Sonya products available at NZ Health Store.

The Story Behind the Name: Eco Tan vs. Eco by Sonya

Originally, the brand launched as Eco Tan, focusing purely on organic self-tanning products. They made waves in the market with their iconic Invisible Tan and Winter Skin lotions. With the brand’s growing dedication to non-toxic ingredients, the product line expanded to include cleansers, serums, and body washes that complement their tanning range and support overall skin health.

To reflect this broader collection of high-end skincare and body care, the brand began transitioning to the name Eco by Sonya.

• Eco Tan: Generally refers to the tanning-specific products (Face Tanning, Body Tanning).
• Eco by Sonya: Generally refers to the skincare and body care range (Glory Oil, cleansers, body milk)

Why Switch to Certified Organic Skincare?

Your skin deserves ingredients that are pure, safe, and effective. Many conventional tanning and skincare products contain synthetic dyes, artificial fragrances, and harsh chemicals.

With Eco Tan by Sonya, you’re choosing organic skincare that not only protects your skin but also aligns with sustainable values. Their range is certified by the Organic Food Chain Australia, ensuring that the ingredients are grown without synthetic pesticides or herbicides. 

When you use their Eco Tan collection, you are nourishing your skin with ingredients like aloe vera, cacao, chamomile, and fruit extracts. In addition, the brand is PETA-accredited, ensuring every product delivers a luxurious feel while remaining completely cruelty-free.

The Eco by Sonya Skincare Collection

At NZ Health Store, we are proud stockists of the full Eco Tan by Sonya range. Here are a few standouts you need to know about.

Tanning Range

The tanning range includes natural and organic self-tanning products that are suitable for all skin types. These include:

• Invisible Tan: a moisturiser that develops into a rich, honey-bronze tan over 8 hours. Because it goes on clear, it won’t stain your sheets, making it perfect for overnight application.
• Winter Skin: For those who prefer a subtle glow. It builds a sun-kissed look over a few days and is incredibly nourishing for dry skin.
• Face Tan Water: This toner builds a gradual glow without clogging pores. It’s specifically formulated for the delicate skin on your face and neck.

Skincare Essentials

The skincare range combines the full benefits of organic, natural ingredients, helping to nourish and revitalise the skin with every use. This includes:

• Glory Oil: If you only buy one skincare item, make it this. Infused with inca inchi, acai, and pumpkin seed oils, it works to reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines while soothing irritated skin.
• Super Citrus Cleanser: A refreshing gel cleanser that removes makeup and grime without stripping the skin’s natural oils. It uses aloe vera and lemongrass to soothe and help fight bacteria.
• Super Fruit Hydrator: This oil-free moisturiser uses wild-harvested plums to deliver deep hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Serum of Plenty: A potent vitamin C serum that targets pigmentation and redness. It’s perfect for brightening the complexion and promoting collagen production.

Body Care & Personal Hygiene

The body care and personal hygiene range focuses on providing natural and gentle solutions for everyday use. This range includes:

• Coconut Mint Body Wash: A gentle, soap-free wash that cleanses while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture.
• Lemongrass Deodorant: A natural deodorant that allows the body to sweat as it should while neutralising odour with organic ingredients.
• Personal Care: We also stock their natural hand sanitisers and exfoliating gloves, ensuring every step of your routine is covered.
