Description
Tanning accelerator with beta-carotene for an intense and healthy bronze
A beautiful tan doesn’t start with the first ray of sunshine, but with preparing the skin. Going into the sun unprepared and dehydrated often results in a patchy or uneven tan, faster peeling, and a higher risk of sunburn. The skin needs time to start producing melanin — the natural pigment responsible for your brown color — and to retain enough moisture and nutrients to develop that color healthily. Well-prepared skin tans not only more beautifully but also more safely and evenly.
The Massada Presun Tan Accelerator is a hydrating treatment that optimally prepares the skin for sun exposure and stimulates natural melanin production. The rich combination of coconut, aloe vera, jojoba, and beta-carotene deeply nourishes the skin, improves elasticity, and accelerates an even, intense tan. At the same time, the antioxidant formula slows down signs of sun-induced skin aging, so your skin tans not only faster but also healthier and more beautifully. Suitable for all skin types and perfect to start a day before your holiday or beach visit.

- Stimulates natural melanin production for a more intense tan
- Deeply hydrates the skin and prevents peeling after sun exposure
- Promotes an even and long-lasting brown complexion
- Slows skin aging through antioxidant action
- Suitable for all skin types as preparation for the sun
Active Ingredients
Beta-carotene: The powerful precursor of vitamin A and the best-known plant pigment for supporting tanning. Beta-carotene stimulates melanin production in the skin, helping to achieve a faster and more intense tan. It also acts as an antioxidant against free radicals generated by UV exposure.
Aloe vera: Deeply hydrates the skin and may soothe irritation or redness. Aloe vera contains polysaccharides, amino acids, and vitamins that strengthen the skin barrier, preventing dryness or peeling caused by sun exposure — an important condition for a beautiful and long-lasting tan.
Coconut oil: Rich in fatty acids and vitamins, coconut oil intensely nourishes the skin and provides a soft, supple texture. Well-nourished skin retains its tan much longer because the top skin layer peels less quickly, keeping pigment cells visible for longer.
Jojoba: Jojoba oil resembles the skin’s natural sebum in structure and is therefore quickly and deeply absorbed. It restores moisture balance, supports elasticity, and keeps the skin supple during and after sun exposure without leaving a greasy feeling.
Vitamin E: A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects the skin from oxidative stress caused by UV rays. Vitamin E supports skin regeneration, slows visible signs of photoaging, and enhances the effectiveness of other antioxidants in the formula.
How to use

- Apply Presun to cleansed skin on face and body
- Spread a generous amount with gentle, circular motions until fully absorbed
- Repeat application about 30 minutes before actual sun exposure

- All skin types wanting to stimulate their tan healthily

- Fair skin that wants to build up carefully to a natural complexion
- Mature skin that wants to combine tanning with anti-aging care
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Presun Tan Accelerator replace my sun protection?
No, this is an important distinction. The Presun Tan Accelerator prepares the skin for the sun and stimulates melanin production but does not contain UV filters. For actual protection against UVA and UVB rays, you always need a high-quality sun protection product, such as Massada Facial & Body Sun Milk SPF50. Both products are designed to complement each other: Presun prepares the skin, SPF protects during exposure.
When should I start using Presun to see the best results?
For the best results, start applying the day before your first sun exposure and reapply about 30 minutes before going into the sun. If you have plenty of time, you can use it daily five to seven days before a holiday to optimally prepare the skin. The better hydrated and nourished the skin is, the more even and lasting the tan will be.
Is this product suitable for very fair or sensitive skin?
Yes, the formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The ingredients are nourishing and soothing without irritating substances. However, it is wise to be extra cautious with sun exposure if you have very fair skin and always use SPF50. Presun stimulates natural tanning but does not change the basic skin type — fair skin will tan faster and more evenly but not more than naturally possible.
Does this product also help to maintain my tan longer after summer?
Indirectly yes. Because Presun deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin, it peels less quickly, and the pigmented cells remain visible longer. For optimal long-lasting results, we recommend using Massada Aftersun after sun exposure, which is specifically developed to maintain color and hydration. Together they form the complete cycle of a healthy and long-lasting tan.
