The best cruelty-free and vegan fake tan to give you that summer glow

Is St. Tropez cruelty-free? Yep, your favourite fake tan IS cruelty-free and this one even has a vegan-friendly formula. It's on the pricier side at RRP £30 (although it's on offer on Amazon!), but a streak-free glow is definitely worth the extra pennies.

Review: "Best self-tan I've ever used. I've tried loads of different makes, and this is definitely the best, glides on lovely, with no streaks, looks natural, no orange colour. I have fair skin and looked really natural. Will definitely be purchasing again!!"

This vegan and cruelty-free tan smells good, is easy to use, and won't stain your sheets. It's packed with organic tanning actives such as avocado, chia seed, and coconut oils, for a happy, hydrated glow. No wonder everyone's raving about it in the reviews...

Review: "This is my go-to for face tan. I spray at night and wake up with a glow. I am fair-skinned and this gives me the right amount of tan. I have sensitive skin and this does not break me out."

If you're not a fully-fledged tanning addict but want a healthy glow, give this one a try. Not only does it build your tan while moisturising your skin, but it also smells like chocolate. Sounds perfect to us. Palmer's is a cruelty-free company.

Review: "Love love love this product, it goes on streak-free and gives a nice natural glow I am on my 2nd bottle and have a 3rd in waiting!! The only thing is it's not as moisturizing as I would like although I have severely dry skin so not much does!"

That's right. St Moriz has done it again with its new Professional 1-hour Fast Tan Mist. Offering a 360° application, it really does make tanning those hard-to-reach areas a whole lot easier. Spray a light layer onto your skin and you'll quickly understand the hype.

Review: "I have found this the easiest tan to use. The application was quick and easy and the results were even. The colour guide was accurate so I was able to get the colour I wanted."

Vegan and cruelty-free tanning brand Utan collaborated with beauty influencer, Jamie Genevieve, for this CBD-infused tanning water, designed for use on your face. Upon restocking, the product has been selling out in just five minutes showing just how popular it is. Not only does it provide a long-lasting, transfer-resistant and glorious tan, but it also helps improve the appearance of breakouts.

Review: "It smells amazing, and is super easy and convenient to apply. It dries almost instantly and doesn't feel greasy on the skin which means I can spray it on and start my day without wasting time. On top of that, my skin has started clearing up since using this due to the CBD in it and it smells amazing with the Scottish lavender."

With this salon-quality tan, you could actually say you "got it from Australia" and it would be basically true! Bondi Sands is Australia's number one self-tanner and it's cruelty-free - it's a must-have. There are absolutely no animal-derived ingredients in the products and they don't test on animals.

Review: "My favourite fake tan. I'm naturally pale in winter but tan well, so this is perfect for me. It's CERTAINLY a noticeable change on the first day or so if you've got no base tan, so I tend to do it a couple of days before an event to make it less obvious I've fake-tanned. And by the end of 2nd full day, it fades to a more natural 'winter glow' (Bondi Sands is great for not looking orange)."

If you're a tanning pro and regular fakes tans just don't make the cut, Cocoa Brown Ultra Dark is for you. It promises to give a deep golden (non-tangerine) glow, and we're obsessed. Carter Beauty and Cocoa Brown are members of Peta's Beauty Without Bunnies, so they're 100 per cent cruelty-free and against animal testing.

Review: "For fair-skinned gals, this is just the best ever. Applies easy and wears off easily too, what more could a gal want."

Coco & Eve has a reputation for sell-out products, and its Bronzing Foam is no different. After selling out three times and with over 30,000 fans on the waiting list, Coco & Eve's Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam now sells one bottle every 20 seconds. Available in three shades, it contains natural ingredients such as mango, guava, banana and linseed oil, plus is the world's first tan with anti-cellulite technology. It's lightweight, non-greasy, develops in just two hours and is vegan-friendly.

Review: "I have used fake tan for 10+ years (since it used to be orange!) and Coco & Eve Sunny Honey is my favourite tan I've ever tried. The colour is a gorgeous bronze. I'm naturally very pale and it gives me a lovely glowy tan with 1 application! The consistency is more liquid than other foamy tans I've tried and it goes quite far! The fragrance is sweet - definitely reminds you of honey! It doesn't transfer onto clothes or bedding (even pre-washing). Great product, highly recommend!"

With a super summerly coconut scent, this gradual self-tanner is extremely kind on your skin with almond oil and cocoa butter. Not only that, but this vegan-friendly moisturising tan also eliminates the build-up of cellulite. BRB, need this ASAP.

Review: "I love this tanning cream. it is the most natural one I have come across and I have tried loads! It goes on really easily and doesn't leave you feeling greasy. It dries in really quickly and doesn't smell bad at all. I just put it on after my shower every 3rd day and it has given me a really natural, sun-kissed tan. I love it! Cannot recommend enough."

Many influencer-produced products are a bit of a gimmick, but not this one from Lottie Tomlinson. This vitamin-infused tan water literally does it all. It's vegan, cruelty-free, and organic, it's non-comedogenic so won't clog your pores, it doesn't transfer onto anything and you can get a whole range of shades from one bottle. GENIUS!

Review: "Best fake tan I have ever used on my face, no streaks, even look, long-lasting, easy to apply.. love love love it. Definitely worth the price and highly recommend."

Review: "I've tried countless amounts of tans and this by far is the best ever. Goes on so easily and smoothly, this is my second bottle. Going to stock up. It wears off evenly and it is easy to remove. The perfect glow!"

This face tanner is another favourite of ours due to its ability to adapt to your skin tone as it develops. Plus, it contains anti-ageing ingredients like vitamins A, C, and E. Madame LA LA products are vegan and aren't tested on animals.

Review: "Smells great and looks even better. This is the only tan I have ever used that is not orange. I use this all year round and I'm complimented on my tan EVERY SINGLE DAY. No joke."

It develops in less than three hours, so you can pop this on in the morning and look bronzed by midday. It has a 100 per cent vegetarian formula and the brand is cruelty-free.

Review: "Great to find a cruelty-free self-tanner. Doesn't have a strong smell thankfully and is easy to use one application leaves golden colour. You can add a second application if you want a deeper colour. Lasts a good few days. Delighted!"
