A lightweight, airy mousse with a self-tanning effect. Formulated to care for your skin using hyaluronic acid and aloe vera, it gradually reveals a golden summer glow without the harmful rays of the sun. Apply evenly on top of your body lotion or body oil to the entire body – or wherever you want to glow. A Hint of Summer – The Mousse is the one of our self-tanners that gives the most intense glow.
Effect:
A Hint of Summer – The Mousse gives summer sensations and a natural glow to the skin all year round. Its natural DHA molecule creates a beautiful glow when it reacts with the peptides and amino acids on the epidermis, the upper layer of your skin. Furthermore, the airy mousse moisturizes and nourishes the skin thanks to its many active and natural ingredients such as açai extract, which strengthens the skin with antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, which gives the skin a moisture boost, and soothing and regenerating aloe vera.
Fragrance:
A Hint of Summer has a discreet and delicate scent which derives from the natural ingredients it consists of – together with Rudolph Care's natural signature scent.
Consistency:
Lightweight and soft. Easy to apply and absorbs quickly.
Certifications:
A Hint of Summer carries the COSMOS Organic certification, which is your guarantee that the ingredients are grown responsibly and with respect for the environment. In addition, the product is labeled with the Vegan Trademark. Read more about our certifications here.

Before you get going with your self tanning ritual, make sure to moisturize your body with a regular body lotion or body oil. A well-hydrated skin surface is key when applying self tanning mousse. Pay particular attention to elbows, knees and ankles as the self-tanning effect settles more easily on drier areas of the skin.
Apply A Hint of Summer – The Mousse to your entire body, or simply where you want a glow. We recommend 2-4 pumps for each body part, depending on your desired color intensity. Take time to apply carefully and wash your hands occasionally between applications on legs and buttocks, stomach, back, arms and chest. Allow the product to absorb and dry completely before getting dressed and going about your day.
Hands and feet: A tip to create a smooth transition to hands and feet is to switch to A Hint of Summer – The Classic and mix a single pump with hand cream or body lotion. Apply the mixture to hands and feet, avoiding nails. Remove residue from nails with a damp washcloth.
Clean and soft skin is beneficial to achieve an even glow with A Hint of Summer – The Mousse. Exfoliate the body – try using our nourishing and gentle Açai Body Scrub which both removes dead skin cells and leaves the skin silky smooth.
The color builds gradually and after 2-6 hours you will experience a sun-kissed glow that can be easily intensified and maintained with regular use. Try it out. A single application may be sufficient. If you want a more intense glow, we recommend repeating the routine 2-3 days in a row. If necessary, take a break for 2-3 days and resume the routine again.
A Hint of Summer – The Mousse 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, A Hint of Summer does not replace the need for sun protection. Instead, 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.
Our self tanning series, A Hint of Summer, consists of the quartet The Classic, The Lotion, The Mousse, and Self Tanning Sun Body Lotion SPF 30. Four different self tanners packed with summer vibes and glow boosting effect.
