Six years.
Thousands of reviews.
One better cream.
This is the story of the OG cream — where it started, what you told us, and why we spent two years making it better.
Built by a father & son with one simple belief.
Six years ago, Ricardo and Giano — a father and son from the UK — started 2bTanned with a goal most big brands had stopped caring about: make a tanning cream that genuinely works.
No marketing fluff. No lab full of scientists. Just a deep love of the industry and the conviction that tanners deserved something better than what was already out there.
The original OG cream was born from that belief. Simple. Honest. And it delivered.
The cream that started it all.
The original OG intensifying cream built a following quickly. Packed with shea butter, aloe vera, and carrot seed oil, it moisturised deeply, smelled incredible, and helped skin absorb UV light more effectively.
Basic in the best possible sense — no gimmicks, no over-promises. Just a formula that tanned you faster and kept your skin soft doing it.
Word spread. People came back. The community grew into something Ricardo and Giano hadn't dared predict.
You gave us everything we needed to know.

Verified Trustpilot reviewWe listened. Then we disappeared — to make it better.
For two years, Ricardo and Giano went back to the drawing board. Every piece of feedback, every review, every message — they took it all seriously. The question they kept asking: what would make this the best tanning cream on the market?
They studied ingredients. They tested formulas. They worked with new technologies that the original cream had never touched. Two years of quiet, focused work. Then they came back.
Introducing OG Cream 2.0
Re-formulated from the ground up. Same DNA as the original. But with new science, new ingredients, and new packaging built for the way you really tan.
Up to 20% deeper tan per session
Powered by Thalitan & Tyrosine — a combination that supercharges your body’s natural melanin production for faster, deeper results from the very first session.
Tanning that turns back the clock
Thalitan actively helps reverse visible signs of ageing while you tan — making OG 2.0 genuinely unlike anything else on the market.
Deep hydration for even results
Shea butter, aloe vera, and glycerin work together to drench skin in moisture — because hydrated skin tans more evenly, more uniformly, and holds the colour longer.
New packaging, new feel
Now in a premium 200ml cap-down tube — cleaner to use, easier to travel with, and a level above what the original ever was.
Six years in the making. Ready for you now.
The OG 2.0 is everything you told us you wanted — and then some. Pick your scent and start your best tan yet.
