A Hint of Summer - The Lotion
A light and intuitive self-tanner for the whole body.
A Hint of Summer – The Lotion is a nourishing body lotion and self-tanner in one product. A natural summer glow builds gradually on your skin, while you enjoy the softening and nourishing effect of coconut, rapeseed, sea buckthorn, and açai oil, among others.
Why your skin will love it
- Summer in a tube: You don't need the summer sun to get the glow you're dreaming of – with A Hint of Summer you can apply the glow directly.
- No UV: Your skin thanks you for sparing it from UV rays and creating the glow with self-tanner instead.
- Glow with natural ingredients: The natural sugar molecules DHA and erythrulose create the radiant summer glow when they react with the peptides and amino acids that make up the top layer of your skin.
- Good moisture balance and nourishing care: A Hint of Summer – The Lotion is rich in aloe vera and chamomile, which help maintain a healthy moisture balance and skin barrier – as well as nourishing oils from sea buckthorn, rapeseed, pear, coconut, and açai.
- Easy to use: Easy to apply like a regular body lotion.
- Rich texture: Doesn't weigh down the skin and absorbs quickly.
How to use
Apply A Hint of Summer – The Lotion over your whole body – or just where you want glow, e.g. on arms or legs. Use the same amount as you would normally use body lotion. If you have fair skin, it may be beneficial to use a slightly smaller amount. Wash your hands in between applying to legs and buttocks, stomach, back, arms, and chest, so the glow doesn't have time to "settle" in your palms. Let the product absorb and dry completely before getting dressed and continuing your day. Wash your hands thoroughly once you're completely done applying. Feel free to moisturize dry elbows, knees, and ankles with regular body lotion before applying the self-tanner – this makes it easier to achieve an even result in these areas. The glow builds gradually and can be seen after 2–6 hours. Repeat the same routine for 2–3 days, depending on your current skin tone and desired result. You may take a 2–3 day break and then resume the routine.
Natural scent
The product has a natural scent from its ingredients with a hint of Rudolph Care's Nordic Swan Ecolabel certified signature fragrance. Due to the variability of nature, you may notice variations in the scent.

Tip for A Hint of Summer
A tip for creating a nice, smooth glow transition to hands and feet is to mix a small amount of the self-tanning lotion with your hand cream or body lotion. Apply the mixture to hands and feet – avoid your nails; wipe off any excess with a washcloth if needed.
Mix and match
A clean, even base is always an advantage when using self-tanner. Exfoliate your skin before you begin. This gives a smooth, even skin surface and an even more beautiful result from your self-tanner. Have you tried Açai Body Scrub, which both removes dead skin cells and leaves skin silky-soft, while adding moisture and nourishment?
A Hint of Summer FAQ
A Hint of Summer – The Lotion is not designed to be used on the face. Instead mix A Hint of Summer – The Classic with your day cream to achieve a beautiful summer glow on your face.
A Hint of Summer lasts between 2-3 days. After this, it is necessary to reapply to maintain the desired effect.
No, but you can mix our self tanning drops A Hint of Summer – The Classic with your sunscreen for the body.
The A Hint of Summer range consists of three self-tanners: The Classic, The Lotion and The Mousse. All three give a beautiful, natural summer glow, but there is a slight difference in application. The Classic is self-tanner drops for both face and body, which must be mixed with your daily face cream and/or body lotion. The Lotion is a two-in-one self-tanner and body lotion which gives glow and provides nourishing, active care for the skin. The Mousse is a lightweight, skin- nurturing self-tanning foam for the body with an intense glow. It can be applied on top of your body lotion or body oil.
Our A Hint of Summer series of drops, mousse and body lotion is Ecocert COSMOS Organic certified and Vegan Trademark certified. They don't carry the Nordic Swan Ecolabel – and we would like to explain why.
At Rudolph Care, we perceive our certifications as a positive tool for education and change: a third party that guarantees that what we say and write about our products is true, just as the certifications help to emphasize the quality, effect and impact of our products in the world. We always develop our products to meet the standards of our core certifications – the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and Ecocert COSMOS Organic – but unfortunately it is not always possible to attain both. If we develop a fantastic product that both we and many of you love, our team of experts carefully evaluates the overall experience of the product, the exclusive ingredients, the effect and the quality before we make an addition or exclusion to its formula.
Our self tanning series doesn’t carry the Nordic Swan Ecolabel due to the ingredient DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a sugar molecule that turns the skin golden brown, but which is suspected of developing potentially allergenic formaldehyde over time and depending on storage. The Nordic Swan Ecolabel therefore, as a precautionary measure, doesn't approve self-tanners containing DHA.
Formaldehyde is everywhere in our everyday life. It is formed naturally in the body, it is in our indoor climate, as well as in air pollution outside. It is a part of our food and is also found as an impurity in many cosmetic products, although it is neither added deliberately nor should it be there.
The Nordic Swan label's greatest task is to respond to the latest knowledge and development. More detailed studies are currently underway, and the new policy is based on a precautionary approach. The Nordic Swan Ecolabel ensures the safety of those who suffer from allergic reactions and/or contact dermatitis by no longer certifying products containing DHA.
If you know that you are predisposed to allergic reactions and/or have previously experienced contact dermatitis or other types of allergic reactions, you can do a patch test on your skin with some self tanner. If, on the other hand, you have never previously experienced allergic reactions when using our self tanning series, you can continue to safely use the series' products.
Rudolph Care's founder, Andrea Elisabeth Rudolph, says:
"When we develop products at Rudolph Care, we always aim to combine certifications that complement each other. It is part of Rudolph Care's DNA to care for both people and planet while creating products that are effective, luxurious and stimulate all the senses. The Nordic Swan Ecolabel is a time-limited certification as ingredient requirements are continually evaluated and updated according to the latest developments. This underpins the Nordic Swan Ecolabel's very existence: to be watchful.
We believe that the self tanning series still lives up to Rudolph Care's requirements for responsible chemistry that is environmentally friendly and free from known endocrine disruptors. We also firmly believe that we continue to have some of the best natural self tanners on the market.”
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we generally recommend following the 'less-is-more' principle when choosing skincare products; choose as few products as possible. In our opinion, self-tanner is a 'nice-to-have' product and not necessary to provide your skin with the moisture and care it needs. Of course, it is always entirely up to you which products you use on your skin during your pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
