Male-Targeted Self-Tanners

Stryx Partnered with Tom Sandoval to Create the Bronzing Gel

— September 7, 2021 — Fashion
Stryx, a male-targeted cosmetic brand, partnered up with Tom Sandoval, the Vanderpump Rules star, to create the perfect Bronzing Gel. This self-tanning product provides the ideal summer beach glow. The team collaborated to create one product that works on every skin tone.

The goal was to help users achieve the perfect tan look in seconds anywhere in the world. If the beach is not accessible, this product can be used on the face, scalp, neck, and arms to create a healthy glow. To apply the product, users can rub the gel into the desired area like they would apply moisturizer. The formula is designed with the full-face application in mind. The Bronzing Gel is mixable with other moisturizing products. The oil-free gel is sourced from 100% vegan and cruelty-free ingredients.
