Our Pick
Krave Beauty
Higher editor rating (8.7 vs 7.4)
Eco Tan
Eco Tan started as a self-tanning brand and expanded into skincare that pairs with tanning prep. The Super Cacao Face Tan Water is the hero SKU — a gradual face tanner that actually fades evenly. Skincare range is smaller but the Invisible Tan is the broader reason to know the brand.
Pros
- ✓ Certified-organic self-tanning formulas
- ✓ Even-fade Face Tan Water
- ✓ Vegan and cruelty-free
Cons
- ✗ Self-tan primary focus
- ✗ Fragranced
- ✗ Limited face skincare depth
Krave Beauty
Liah Yoo built Krave Beauty the way you wish more brands would — with a skincare-fatigued YouTube audience in mind, a commitment to stripping back rather than piling on, and one genuine cult hit in Great Barrier Relief. Small catalog, specific mission, loyal fans. Not for people who want a 10-step system. Very much for people whose skin has been yelled at for too long.
Pros
- ✓ barrier-first philosophy
- ✓ cult hero in Great Barrier Relief
- ✓ transparent founder storytelling
- ✓ no fragrance / no essential oils
Cons
- ✗ very small catalog
- ✗ ships mostly US/intl, harder to find in Asia
- ✗ limited range of price points
