Skinny Tan Hits the Shelves in Peru

Skinny Tan continues to expand its footprint across the globe. This time the brand has made it to Peru.

We are very excited to share that Skinny Tan is now available in Peru and the first retailer launch is with Aruma.

The chain has 90 stores across Peru and Skinny Tan is listed in 55 of those.


The Range in Aruma

Tan & Tone Wonder Serum

This lightweight serum applies smoothly for an instant silky finish that develops a flawless lasting and streak-free medium-dark tan in 6-8 hours. It contains Q10, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and Hyaluronic Acid.

Tan & Tone Oil

The Oil is sprayed directly onto the skin. No rinse needed, it just has to dry before getting dressed. It contains Poppyseed, Blackberry Juice and Coconut Oil.

Tan & Tone Face Tanning Drops

The Drops are mixed with any moisturiser and develop a glow within 6-8 hours. The formulation contains Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera and Coconut Water.

Strawberry Self Tanning Whip

The limited edition Strawberry Whip has a velvety texture and smells amazing. It is applied to the skin and develops a glow over 6-8 hours. The whip contains Vitamin E, Guarana Extract, and Aloe Vera.

Peach Self Tanning Whip

The limited edition Peach Whip has a velvety texture and smells amazing. It is applied to the skin and develops a glow over 6-8 hours. The whip contains Vitamin E, Guarana Extract, and Aloe Vera.

Miracle Tan Eraser

The Miracle Tan Eraser is formulated to remove old self tan and/or to exfoliate the skin for a smooth finish ready for a fresh application. It contains Salicylic acid, Pumice and Glycerine.

Dual Tanning Mitt

This double-sided velvet tanning mitt creates a flawless, streak-free result by evenly distributing and blending the tanning product into the skin.

Dry Mist Finishing Spray

The mist powder formulation is non-drying and distributes a lightweight veil over your skin to set the tan and prevents colour transfer from heat or sweat.


In addition to Peru, Skinny Tan is sold in most retailers/etailers in the UK, skinnytan.co.uk, South Africa, Australia, USA, Ireland and other retailers in Europe.

Personally I can't see any reason to invest at all. Now only trading at a small discount to TNAV, sales are falling and to me Super Facialist sounds like a Peter North DVD I used to own.

Quentin Higham hasn't got a clue and I reckon Peter Gyllenhammar has got this one wrong.

[someuwin] 18/6/2024 12:15

Initially available in Boots, Super Facialist has extended its distribution across all the leading UK Grocers (Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Morrisons), e-tailers (Amazon, Look Fantastic), some international markets and on...

Even got some SF in our local small Sainsbury's



...And that's just one of their brands

Does anyone know what high st majors BAR's Products are in? Maybe they'd be better off targeting the smaller independent stores?

[someuwin] 18/6/2024 11:36

This is is stated way of investing...

"Pick up bombed-out shares trading at a large discount to net asset value. If they are badly managed or not managed in the best interests of all shareholders, then implement change."

There's no doubt this is the case with BAR. They have several high quality beauty brands and have got them in an enviable number of stores. Both UK and abroad. But for some reason don't seem able to build up profits fast enough. They are improving but hopefully Gyllenhammar will use his skills to turbo charge things.

Gyllenhammar still buying, over 23% now......

[someuwin] 04/6/2024 09:07

Cash of £7m.

Market cap of £8m.

Continuing Global rollout of multiple beauty brands.

Peter Gyllenhammar recently going over 22%.

Not without risk, but huge potential imo.

[chrisdgb] 04/6/2024 07:59

Still moving higher, nice to see the renewed interest...

[chrisdgb] 28/5/2024 08:40

The incredible run on Warpaint shows what can happen if we get decent traction with any of these brands, nice to see Fish in Boots over the weekend....

[chrisdgb] 24/5/2024 13:20

Looks good news thanks......

[chrisdgb] 14/5/2024 04:37

Good spot……

[someuwin] 19/4/2024 12:34

Can't buy any right now

[balcony] 18/4/2024 11:44

The BAR is getting higher.

[someuwin] 18/4/2024 11:29

Gyllenhammar is no fool. Up to 22% here now - he must have a cunning plan.

[chrisdgb] 18/4/2024 11:02

Stock getting tight..........

[arthur_lame_stocks] 17/4/2024 16:28

Peter Gyllenhammar is a Swedish value investor who typically buys large stakes in small caps trading at a steep discount to TNAV and then tries to realise value. I don't know what he sees in this though and I'm surprised he hasn't already moved to 'harvest' Quentin.

[ali47fish] 17/4/2024 16:15

gyllenhammer adds again- who is this one?

[chrisdgb] 04/4/2024 09:09

Classic value investor, no representation but he usually pushes for change..

[ali47fish] 02/4/2024 17:20

a swedish person adding - is he on the board?
