Recommendation Needed: Natural Bronzing Lotions

Hey-ya!

I am looking for natural bronzing lotions. Basically, while a good starting point, I am finding several lists with bronzing lotions but none with an organic and/or natural focus.

Has anyone found a list with not only the claims but that incorporates ingredients into the review?

My sniff test is that even with my simple mind I can read and understand all the ingredients on the back (well I may Google a few but you get this gist).

I am interested in finding smaller companies that also make natural products.

I also have very sensitive skin. Unfortunately, in high school I faked and baked and while loving a soft glow I want to avoid getting burned from here on out.

Thanks to everyone in advance!!

I'm not sure if you and I understand same thing under the name 'bronzing lotion'; I'm assuming that you mean something that gives the illusion of tan and can be washed off.
Dr. Hauschka has a product called Translucent Bronze Concentrate, which gets rave reviews in some circles. It's kinda similar to YonKa Halo 70 which got discontinued, but it can still be purchased online. The reason I mention Halo 70 is because Halo has bit different pigment composition, including blue iron oxide, which makes it look very natural on skin. Not saying Hauschka bronzer is orange, it has green and black pigments to balance the unsighthy oranges. Not sure if YonKa is organic though.
Dr. Hauschka isn't exactly small company, but they are more organic than other companies who have huge labels proclaiming how natural/organic/bio they are.

Ingredients for Translucent Bronze Concentrate:
Water (Aqua), Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Alcohol, Anthyllis Vulneraria Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Bark/Leaf Extract, Lysolecithin, Beeswax (Cera Alba), Fragrance (Parfum), Citral*, Linalool*, Farnesol*, Benzyl Benzoate*, Limonene*, Citronellol*, Geraniol*, Benzyl Salicylate*, Coumarin*, Eugenol*, Benzyl Alcohol*, Cetearyl Alcohol, Algin, Silica, Arachis Hypogaea (Peanut) Oil, Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex (CI 75810), Iron Oxides (CI 7749¹, CI 77492, CI 77499).

If you are looking for an organic self-tanner then I don't know any, sorry.
