Texture is one of the biggest reasons people skip proper sun protection, but scent runs a close second, and Skylar's Double Dates Tanning Oil SPF 15 is a new launch that avoids that telltale sunscreen smell with a scent inspired by one of the clean fragrance brand's indulgent eau de parfums. This SPF 15 tanning oil is scented to smell just likt the best-selling Double Dates perfume it's named after, with notes of sweet dates, sticky toffee, brown sugar, and cocoa butter.
Beyond scent, the vegan-friendly, hypoallergenic, sensitive-safe tanning oil is a treat for skin with an infusion of sustainably sourced red algae, copper peptides, and natural botanicals chosen for their hydrating, smoothing properties.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Fragrance-led SPF
- Premium scent profiles are reframing sun protection as a sensorial beauty product, creating space for brands to differentiate beyond efficacy and texture.
- Skin-nourishing Tanning
- Hybrid tanning oils with peptides, algae, and botanical hydrators blur the line between suncare and skincare, expanding appeal among ingredient-conscious consumers.
- Clean Indulgent Beauty
- Vegan, hypoallergenic, and sensitive-safe formulas paired with dessert-inspired aromas signal new potential for comfort-driven clean beauty experiences.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Sun Care

- Fragrance
- Perfume-inspired body care extensions allow fragrance brands to translate signature notes into functional categories with stronger lifestyle relevance.
