Green Based Solutions? Cost?

I currently only use green based solutions. My tans look amazing and everyone looks so bronzed and natural without having that bright golden/orange look. Im interested in trying some new solutions from america (seeing i pay $80- $100 a litre for my solutions) for cost reasons but want to try something that is not an orange or pinky base.
(PS:My display pic is the VuTan greenbased that i use)

Re: Green Based Solutions? Cost?

sorry. green based means it has an olive undertone so theres no chance ever of going orange. They are normally botanical based with no straight alcohol, parabeans or lanolin. In australia most of our tans that are popular are greenbased in the 2Hour solution .
heres a link to one as an example

My DP is a greenbased tan and you can see they look fantastic!

Re: Green Based Solutions? Cost?

but top sun buys their formula from someone in the states (i asked and of course the distributer wont tell me whom)...Top sun sold me bad batch after bad batch and now I will only use Sjolie...

Re: Green Based Solutions? Cost?

thanks for that! Why were they bad batches? Some of my tans need to be refrigerated constantly maybe that was the problem.

Re: Green Based Solutions? Cost?

good question. israelis can be sneaky. he sold me a gallon and my customers complained of orange, tried it myself and showed him. he went and exhanged another bottle and was also orange., i asked him why. he played stupid but then later admitted they added some red tone this time. i went and exchanged it again and it still doesnt look right., im angry. do u think i can demand a refund?

i also just tried the artisan tan, looks very natural and very light going on, am impressed. they also sent it very quick... here is a photo of that:

Re: Green Based Solutions? Cost?

i think you can demand a refund!!! What type of fair trading practices do you have in your area? I would call them. That is a very nice colour.

Re: Green Based Solutions? Cost?

that is the annoying thing here, not much to protect the consumer unless you sue.
that photo above is artisan 12% ..
