Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend [Organic]
The Wild As The Wind Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend is deeply antioxidant, and helps prevent oxidative stress during sun exposure. The reason this is so beneficial is because sun burn is an oxidative process, so the more we reduce oxidation, the less likely we are to burn.
Adding Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend to sun protective carrier oils not only provides additional protection… it also makes your sun tanning oil smell amazing!
You can select your preferred sun protective carrier oils by reading: Carrier Oils For UV Protection.

Wild As The Wind Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend Is Cost Effective
The Wild As The Wind Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend has been formulated for a number of reasons… but, in these increasingly difficult times, it has been put together primarily to help people save money.
The Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend contains four organic aromatherapy oils, which, if they were bought individually, would cost nearly three times more than this blended product.
Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend Ingredients
The four organic essential oils in the Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend are:
- Organic Lavender Essential Oil
- Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil
- Organic Geranium Rose Essential Oil
- Organic Palmarosa Essential Oil
All of these oils help to support healthy skin, making it more resilient to the harmful rays of the sun… whilst also helping you obtain the vitally important health giving benefits of the sun.
This essential oil blend also has many other uses. Once diluted, it is particularly helpful for cooking burns, wound and scar healing, and reducing hyperpigmentation etc…
Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend & Raspberry Seed Oil
One of the best oils for use during sun exposure is Raspberry Seed Oil. This is because Raspberry Seed Oil has an unofficial SPF of anywhere between 28 and 50.
Variation in SPF is due to the differing conditions in which the raspberry bushes grow. Levels of sunshine and rain, as well as things like soil standards, impact the quality and health of the raspberries, and thus the seeds they create.
Wild As The Wind stock two different Raspberry Seed Oils:
Nevertheless, there are a good number of carrier oils that offer sun protective benefits. You are advised to read Carrier Oils For UV Protection, (link below), to determine which carrier oil, or combination of carrier oils, to use for your own individual requirements.
Carrier Oils For UV Protection
There are other carrier oils which are excellent for use with this Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend.
Organic Marula Oil is the best option for facial application.
Organic Broccoli Seed Oil is supported by scientific research, and is a great alternative to Raspberry Seed Oil.
Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil is a great oil to add to your blend to increase viscosity. It is suitable for facial and bodily application.

Organic Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend Aroma
The aromatic quality of the four blended essential oils is exquisite! Everyone who has sampled this blend are in complete agreement… it smells ‘lush’!
In combination, these oils are floral with citrussy, herbaceous undertones, providing a rich and full fragrance.
Why Doesn’t Wild As The Wind Just Produce A Complete Sun Tanning Oil?
There are a number of key reasons why blending your own sun protective oil is preferable to buying a pre-blended oil.
- We all have individual skincare needs. When making your own sun protective oil you can tailor the carrier oils used to suit your specific skin type.
- Those with a nut allergy can avoid using nut oils.
- Making your own unique sun protective oil blend keeps the cost down for you.
- Plus, making your own unique sun protective oil blend means that there will be no unwanted ingredients within the formulation. You will know exactly what you are putting on your skin.
Unfortunately, it is too cost-prohibitive for Wild As The Wind to make a complete Sun Tanning Oil. This is certainly true as a ‘one size fits all’ approach to sun protective oils is not possible.
The cost of simply making an SPF claim for a single product was £4,000 when we last checked. Plus, the cost of working with Chartered Chemists to determine the SPF of a product is also very costly.
As a range of sun protective oils would need to be made available, the costs are exponential.
As all of the Wild As The Wind products are hand blended, there is a limit to production levels. Additionally, Wild As The Wind does not have a large enough customer base to justify these costs.
Using Organic Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend
Simply add the Organic Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend to your preferred carrier oil. Wild As The Wind recommend Raspberry Seed Oil… either the Ethically Sourced Raspberry Seed Oil, and the Organic Raspberry Seed Oil… or, Organic Broccoli Seed Oil, and Organic Marula Oil.
Adding Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil increases viscosity.
Add up to 40 drops of Organic Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend to a 100ml bottle of carrier oil.
Or, add up to 20 drops of Organic Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend to a 50ml bottle of carrier oil.
Organic Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend Alternate Uses
The essential oils used in the Organic Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend are profoundly beneficial.
They are very antioxidant and soothing. When properly diluted, these essential oils will help to detoxify your skin and improve its condition. Lavender Essential Oil is the time-honoured aromatherapy oil used for burns. Many chefs keep a pre-diluted bottle of Lavender Essential Oil in their kitchens for this very reason.
Geranium Rose Essential Oil and Palmarosa Essential Oil are also very beneficial for skin health. They are used in many anti-ageing, scar-reducing and wound healing formulas.
Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil is the ultimate antioxidant in many respects.
Cautions & Contraindications
Avoid using Organic Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend if you have a known allergy to any of the four essential oils in this blend.
Avoid in the first trimester of pregnancy.

I was looking for a natural sunscreen made with oils for my upcoming vacation and decided to give this a try. I was so impressed with how well it actually worked! I mixed mine with mostly Raspberry seed oil, but added a little Pomegrenate, Tamanu, and Buriti oils. Next time I will probably eliminate the Tamanu oil as it was really greasy feeling, but seeing how I was using it at the beach, I didn’t mind so much. Looking forward to continuing to use this sun tanning blend! Thanks Rachel for all of your great information on this!

I came across Rachel and Wild As The Wind when searching for natural sun protection, and I am so happy to have found her. I placed my order and was astonished to receive a phone call almost immediately from Rachel herself, checking that I knew how to use essential oils safely. Who else provides this level of customer care??
I bought the blend and ethically sourced Raspberry Seed Oil, and I could not be happier with the results. I am a fair complexion, and although I tan pretty well, I’m never as brown as my olive skinned husband…. until this holiday. To say my husband is a sceptic about natural health care would be putting it mildly & he resolutely stuck with his tried and tested (toxic) brand of sun care. However, by the 2nd week of our holiday he was so impressed that my tan was darker than his he asked to share my oil. Thank you so much, Rachel, for taking the time to call me and for giving me the best tan of my life. I’ll never buy suncare anywhere else!

I am so delighted for you, and that you have left this as feedback. Thank you. Lots of love, Rachel x x x

I have been using this blend along with the raspberry seed oil for the past two years. It has given my very fair skin great protection whilst letting in the benefits of sun exposure. I’ve used it on holiday (sea, mountain and English countryside) and it’s always been great. So glad I have finally found a product that is both healthy and protective!

I have been using Rachel’s oils for quite some time now and I totally trust her and her products. I started trying to find non toxic suncreams and was drawn to zinc oxide based creams. These are clearly a better option than traditional creams but, goodness, they are hard to put on. Plus you are white for the rest of the day and it takes forever to get out of your hair.
Enter Rachel and her oil blend. Soooo much easier to put on. Hair was clean after one wash and it smells wonderful. I combined mine with raspberry seed oil and came home from Spain with a lovely tan. I am always cautious in the sun and like to spend a healthy time in it, without overdoing it, but I was not burnt at all. I love it. It’s my new go-to sun oil for holidays and hot days. Thanks Rachel. xx

Thanks for the tip Maria about taking a small bottle out with you. I am a gardener for a living and am exposed to the elements most of the time. I absolutely hate wearing chemical sun creams..especially on my face. I now use raspberry seed oil with the sun tanning blend …the raspberry seed oil goes onto my skin beautifully, the sun tanning blend smells amazing and with that combo I know my skin is being beautifully nourished and protected. I do top up with natural sun screen too and cover up. I go out of the door smelling like a goddess and now will top up through the day too so will come home smelling like a goddess too … ? Really affordable, trusted quality, smells divine esp when mixed with carrier oils (you don’t use it neat!)…makes me feel amazing and happy that I have worked hard to look after myself so well. Thanks for all the advice Rachel, your website is so brilliant and your products are wonderful xxx

I am a complete fan of Wild as the Wind’s essential oils. I have been using them for a year now and find them so natural and effective!
One product I can’t recommend enough is the new Sun Tanning oil blend.
Over a month ago I purchased the Sun Tanning oil blend and diluted it with Rasberry Seed oil from Wild as the Wind. I put away my mineral sunscreen and have used this natural sunscreen ever since. I live on the South coast, and it has protected me from this year’s very strong sun. Before using the suntanning blend I was getting a few concerning papilla sunspots which have miraculously disappeared since switching to Rachel’s essential oil sunscreen ?. Also, my skin’s texture has improved, and I am wearing fewer concealing products. The scent is lovely too. My advice would be to always carry a small bottle of the diluted Sun Tanning oil blend in your bag to top up if you are in the direct sun for more than a few hours and this will remoisturise your skin too. ( FYI I am 58) .
A big thank you to Rachel for her amazing products. I am so glad I found her.

So pleased for you. x x x And, your advice about carrying a small bottle with you at all times is excellent… it’s definitely the right way to do it. Sending love. x x x x
