Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nu-Tan and how does it work?
Nu-Tan’s active ingredient: NuTan-Komplex, Tyrosine, Hyaluronic Acid.
Nu-Tan increases your melanocytes so once you are in contact with UV, your skin turns tanned instead of burning red. Users who don’t usually burn use Nu-Tan to speed up the tanning process so that they spend less time in the sun.

For Who doesn't Nu-Tan work?
People with a condition called Albinism, because they do not have melanocytes in their body.
How do I use the Nu-Tan patch kit?
One kit consists of 10 patches and will last around 10 – 30 days
One patch to be used every day, second or third day. Must get UV on same day as patch. Must be used at least every 3rd day.
Must be kept on the skin for a minimum of 4 hours or until the patch is fully dissolved. Preferably overnight.
Your skin might turn a bit red where the patch is attached and you might experience a tingling sensation for a few minutes after.
You need to keep your patches out of direct sunlight and below 23 degrees and you have to use them within 18 months after purchase date.
While breastfeeding, it is safe to use the patches as it doesn’t cross breast milk and your little one will not be affected.
How many kits will I need?
When starting Nu-Tan for the first time, it is recommended to buy two kits. Most first time users see great results after two kits, however some users only see optimal results after three to four kits. Each person is different to the other so we cannot say if you will need one to four kits.
