Why we added Odylique to the PraveBio.cz range
Odylique is a British family brand with more than thirty years of heritage, founded by herbalist Margaret Weeds. It grew from the need to create gentle plant-based care for very sensitive and reactive skin, without synthetic fragrance or unnecessarily burdensome ingredients.
The brand is one of the pioneers of certified natural cosmetics. Odylique’s values lie in clear ingredients, a high proportion of organic components and a considered approach to packaging; selected products use recycled British milk bottles.
Odylique Natural Glow Body Lotion – prebiotic body care for a natural tanned tone
Odylique Natural Glow Body Lotion is a natural gradual self-tanning body lotion that combines day-to-day skin care with a soft, warm bronze tint without sun exposure. It contains organic shea butter, coconut, olive and sunflower oil, aloe vera, rosehip, rosemary and prebiotic plant extracts. The lotion is dermatologically tested, vegan, Cruelty Free and certified as being of 100% natural origin. It creates a natural-looking tanned tone without UV exposure, but does not replace a UV-filter sun protection product.
- For: adults, people with sensitive skin and anyone looking for a natural-looking body tan without sun exposure.
- Characteristics: natural self-tanning body lotion with prebiotic care, dermatological testing and certification of 100% natural origin.
- Key ingredients: plant-derived DHA from sugar beet, melanin from date fruit, natural peptides, aloe vera, shea butter, coconut, olive and sunflower oil.
- Free from: animal-derived ingredients, synthetic self-tanning fragrance and the usual “fake tan” smell; it is lightly scented with natural vanillin extract.
- Use: after showering, apply evenly to the skin of the body, massage in until fully absorbed and wash your hands after application. For a deeper tone, repeat after 24 hours.
Compared with conventional self-tanning cosmetics, this is not a heavy tinted cream or a product with an intense typical self-tanning scent. The lotion is based on plant-derived DHA, polyphenol-rich melanin from date fruit and natural peptides, which together help create an even, natural-looking skin tone. The caring base with aloe vera, shea butter and plant oils also leaves the skin comfortable and nourished in feel.
It stands apart through its clear natural formula, 77.2 % organic ingredients of the total, prebiotic extracts and recyclable 200 ml packaging. In user testing on 15 volunteers, 100 % reported a natural-looking tan, 85.7 % reported hydrated-feeling skin and 100 % reported a comfortable feel after use. The intensity of the shade can be adjusted gradually by repeating the application and then topping up every few days as needed.

Pravé Bio recommends pairing it with:
- Mosimix Citrus-Scented Body Oil (Odylique)
Follow-on body care after using the self-tanning serum. The oil gives the skin soft oil-based comfort and a fresh citrus scent. Apply only once the serum has fully absorbed, so the shade can develop evenly. - Glow Bronze Body Oil (Nibu Naturals)
Adds an instant bronze sheen to the gradually developing shade thanks to mineral pigments. On the arms, legs and décolletage, it visually enhances the self-tanning effect without adding another layer of self-tanning product. - Man Face Cream with astaxanthin (Nibu Naturals)
Complementary care for men’s skin when using self-tanning serum on the face. The cream helps maintain a supple feel and a more even-looking appearance without an unnecessarily greasy finish. - Zinc Complex with Buffered Vitamin C (Naturtreu)
A blend of three forms of zinc; zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.
Natural self-tanning cosmetics differ from conventional products not only in the final shade, but also in the care they provide alongside tanning. A scientific study published in Scientific Reports describes that selected prebiotic ingredients may affect the growth of certain bacteria naturally found on the skin in laboratory models.
The self-tanning effect is based on dihydroxyacetone. Scientific literature describes that dihydroxyacetone reacts with amino acids in the surface stratum corneum of the skin and creates brown pigment-like substances known as melanoidins.
The formula also uses melanin from the date palm. For melanin substances obtained from date fruits, scientific sources examine, among other things, antioxidant capacity and their potential use in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.

Why choose Odylique
Brand origin: Odylique began in Great Britain as a direct response to the lack of gentle plant-based products for very sensitive and reactive skin. Founder Margaret Weeds used her knowledge of herbs and aromatherapy to create formulas that respect the needs of sensitive skin without synthetic fragrance.
Ingredient clarity: The brand’s philosophy is that every ingredient in a formula should have a clear function. The brand avoids cheap mineral oils, silicones and synthetic fragrance, which would place unnecessary burden on both the formula and sensitive skin.
British roots and attention to origin: The brand selects raw materials with traceability, quality and certification standards in mind. Plant extracts, simple formulas and a high proportion of ingredients from controlled organic farming are important in certified products.
Gentle processing: The formulas use methods suited to natural cosmetics and sensitive plant ingredients. The aim is to create stable products without synthetic fragrance and without unnecessary technological additives.
Glass and recycled materials: For selected packaging, the brand uses material from recycled British milk bottles. This approach reduces the need for newly produced plastic and fits with the brand’s long-term effort to use more responsible cosmetic packaging.
Who the brand is not for: The products are not made for customers looking for an instant silicone effect or intense synthetic scents. They are more suited to those who want clear formulas, softer fragrance and natural care with easy-to-understand ingredients.
European origin of organic raw materials
Plant ingredients in certified products come from controlled organic farming in line with the relevant standards.
Clear formulas without unnecessary additives
The brand avoids petroleum derivatives, silicones, synthetic fragrance and parabens so the formulas remain understandable, including for sensitive skin.
Stabilisation with ferments
Selected formulas use fermentation filtrates and natural preservation systems that help maintain the stability of the cosmetic product.
Certification standards for natural cosmetics
For specific products, the current labelling on the packaging is decisive; for this serum, we work with COSMOS NATURAL and Cruelty Free certification.
Considered ecological packaging
For selected packaging, the brand uses recycled material from local British sources and reduces the need for newly produced plastic.
Ethical production without animal testing
The brand declares a no-animal-testing approach and this product uses a vegan formula.

What does this mean?
Odylique Natural Glow Body Lotion is a natural gradual self-tanning body lotion with a caring base of organic shea butter, coconut, sunflower and olive oil, aloe vera, rosehip, rosemary and prebiotic ingredients. The key point is that it is not an instant tinted cream or an intense self-tanning product with a heavy texture, but day-to-day body care that gradually develops a natural tanned-looking tone.
Dosage and use
Apply after showering to clean skin on the body, spread evenly and massage in until fully absorbed. For a deeper shade, repeat the application after 24 hours; then maintain the shade by topping up every few days as needed.
- Starting use: with a gradual self-tanning lotion, it is sensible to start with a thin, even layer and add another application only after assessing the developed shade.
- Hygiene: after application, wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap to avoid unwanted staining of the palms.

- Apply evenly, especially around the elbows, knees, ankles and wrists, where the skin may be drier.
- The cosmetic product is for external use on the skin only.
- Keep out of reach of young kids.
- Not for internal use.

- The product contains no UV filters; it does not protect against sunburn in direct sunlight.

FAQ
What is Odylique Natural Glow Body Lotion for?
The body lotion is for adults and is used to gradually tint the skin of the body without sun exposure. It combines a self-tanning effect with day-to-day body care containing aloe vera, shea butter, plant oils and prebiotic ingredients.
How should this self-tanning lotion be applied?
Apply it after showering to clean skin on the body. Spread the lotion thoroughly and massage in until fully absorbed. Wash your hands immediately after application to avoid unwanted staining of the palms.
Do I need to start with a large amount of lotion?
No. With a gradual self-tanning lotion, it is sensible to start with a thin, even layer. After 24 hours, assess the shade intensity and repeat the application as needed.
When can I assess whether the result suits me?
The result of gradual self-tanning develops individually according to the skin’s natural tone, the amount of product applied and the evenness of application. It makes sense to assess the shade no sooner than after several hours, ideally the following day.
How intense a tan does the body lotion create?
The lotion is a gradual self-tanning care product. One application creates a softer warm tint, while repeated application after 24 hours helps achieve a deeper bronze-looking tone.
What is the advantage over common self-tanning creams?
Odylique Natural Glow Body Lotion combines gradual self-tanning with a caring natural formula. It contains plant-derived DHA, melanin from date fruit, natural peptides, aloe vera, shea butter, plant oils and prebiotic ingredients.
Is this body lotion vegan-friendly?
Yes. The body lotion is vegan and Cruelty Free. The formula is based on plant ingredients and contains no animal-derived ingredients.
Why is it important to check the formula with self-tanning products?
Self-tanning body lotion is applied to a larger area of skin, so many people check fragrance, the preservation system, silicone content, petroleum derivatives and the overall character of the formula. Odylique uses a natural formula and a caring emulsion base.
What does prebiotic care mean in this body lotion?
Prebiotic care refers to the presence of ingredients such as inulin, fructose and fermentation filtrate. These complement the hydrating character of the formula and support a pleasant feel on the surface of the skin.
What does organic quality mean for Odylique ingredients?
The term means that selected plant raw materials, such as coconut oil, shea butter, sunflower oil, olive oil, aloe vera, rosemary and rosehip, come from controlled organic farming.
What is this product’s packaging made from?
The body lotion comes in a recyclable 200ml bottle made in Great Britain from 50 % plastic intercepted before entering the ocean.
Does the body lotion have the typical self-tanning scent?
The formula is made without the typical intense “fake tan” smell. The lotion is softly scented with natural vanillin extract.
Why does the lotion have a creamy emulsion base?
Body skin usually needs more lipid care than facial skin. The emulsion base with shea butter and plant oils helps soften the skin and makes the product easier to spread evenly.
Can I use the lotion every day?
Yes, it can be used regularly according to the desired shade intensity. For a deeper colour, repeat the application after 24 hours; to maintain the tone, topping up every few days as needed is enough.
Is it better to apply the lotion in the morning or evening?
Evening application after showering is practical, as the product has time to absorb and the shade can develop gradually. It is important to let the lotion absorb well before dressing.
Can I get dressed after applying the lotion?
Yes, but allow the lotion to absorb fully first. We recommend looser clothing and avoiding mechanical friction on the skin immediately after application.
What size is the pack?
The pack contains 200 ml of body lotion. Actual duration depends on the size of the treated area, the amount of product applied and frequency of use.
Does the lotion contain gluten, soya or other common allergens?
The formula is natural and vegan, but for individual allergies we always recommend checking the full ingredients list on the current label. Pay particular attention to plant oils, shea butter and aromatic ingredients.
What certifications does the body lotion carry?
The body lotion is COSMOS certified as being of 100% natural origin, dermatologically tested on sensitive skin using a 96-hour HRIPT test, vegan and Cruelty Free.
What is the main difference compared with exposing the skin to the sun?
The lotion gives a tanned-looking tone without the need for sun exposure. However, it contains no UV filters and does not replace a sun-protective product.
How does this lotion differ from synthetic tinting products?
Tinting products often work through an immediate surface effect. Odylique Natural Glow Body Lotion uses plant-derived dihydroxyacetone, melanin from date fruit and natural peptides, which gradually help create a natural-looking shade.
Can I combine the lotion with regular body care?
Yes, but for an even self-tanning effect, it is better to apply Odylique Natural Glow Body Lotion on its own to clean skin. Apply further body care only after it has fully absorbed or at a different time of day.
How long does the lotion last after opening?
Follow the period-after-opening symbol shown on the packaging. In general, use the product within the time marked on the pack and store it in a cool, dry and dark place.
Does the natural formula clog pores on the body?
The formula contains plant oils and shea butter, which suit a caring body emulsion. For skin prone to clogged pores, we recommend first trying a smaller amount on a limited area.
What role does melanin from date fruit play?
Melanin from date fruit complements the colour profile of the formula. It helps guide the final shade towards a more natural-looking, warm bronze tone.
Is the lotion also suitable for men?
Yes. The body lotion can be used by adults regardless of gender. Even blending, thorough hand washing after application and avoiding irritated areas of skin are important.
Can an uneven or flaky appearance occur after application?
On dry or unevenly hydrated skin, the self-tanning shade may look less regular. Gentle exfoliation before application, careful blending and regular skin hydration can help.
Why choose Odylique Natural Glow Body Lotion?
Natural Glow Body Lotion combines natural gradual self-tanning, a caring body emulsion, organic plant oils, shea butter, aloe vera, prebiotic ingredients and certification of 100% natural origin. It suits customers who want a natural-looking tone without sun exposure and a clear formula.

The Odylique brand - the name is derived from the meaning "the power of nature" - was born in 2003 and was originally called Essential Care. The whole story began in the 1980s when the main founder, Margaret, started making natural skincare products. Conventional products did not agree with her allergic and sensitive skin at all. She felt there had to be a healthier and more effective way to care for her skin than using petroleum-based ingredients and artificial ingredients. She received her training in herbal medicine and aromatherapy to begin creating truly effective products based only on organic herbs, plant oils and natural active ingredients that would be compatible with the most sensitive skin. In the 1980s she was one of, if not the first, of the early pioneers of organic and natural cosmetics in the UK. In 2003, she officially founded The Essential Care with her husband and daughter, which was renamed Odylique in later years. Since the beginning, its products have won awards in prestigious competitions in the UK, and the product portfolio has grown to include decorative cosmetics for the most sensitive users.
Odylique wants all the ingredients inside their products to have therapeutic value, while you enjoy an unforgettable ritual in your daily skin and body care.
The Odylique brand is the expert for sensitive and allergic skin and we are honoured to be able to offer it to you, as it is the best certified organic quality at absolutely unbeatable prices you can get. A nice bonus is that all their plastic packaging is made from recycled plastic milk jugs - British sourced, and 98% of the packaging material is sourced from Europe to minimise their carbon footprint. Almost half of the product containers and all the boxes are made in the UK.
