Details & care

What it is: Vacation® Orange Gelée SPF 30 Sunscreen Gel is a nostalgic, yet modern take on a beloved French Riviera icon. Developed alongside devoted fans of the original Orange Gelée, it honors the legendary look, feel, scent and shine of the original, while updating it with SPF 30 and skin-loving natural oils.

Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types and tones.

What it does: The sunscreen gel is formulated with broad spectrum SPF 30 for protection against the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays. The signature orange-tinted formula rubs in clear on all skin tones and delivers an enviable shine. The balm-to-oil formula melts on skin to deliver a silky, moisturized feel. The legendary French Riviera scent is revisited with notes of bergamot, clove, saffron, patchouli and sandalwood. The scent was developed by Carlos Huber, the award-winning fragrance designer behind the Vacation® signature scent and ARQUISTE Parfumeur. It was made alongside a panel of eleven original Orange Gélee fans and modern beauty experts via the Vacation Orange Gelée's Revival Project.

Key ingredients:

- Shea butter and candelilla wax: a plant-based wax-and-butter combination that softens skin and provides the formula's signature silky, moisturized feel

- Jojoba and maracuja: nutrient-rich oils that boost hydration and help support skin barrier functions

- Vitamin E: a vitamin renowned for its ability to replenish sun-exposed skin

- Tamanu and coconut oils: rich, emollient oils that hydrate and smooth skin while delivering an enviable shine

- Saffron and bergamot peel: a luxurious, antioxidant-laden duo to help even skin tone

How to use: To open, use the pointed end on cap to puncture the seal. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours.

Very Disappointed
I am very disappointed. You advertise it’s just like Bain de Soliel, even the scent. I used Bain de Soliel for many many years and your product is nothing like it. You can’t even compare the scents. The only thing it has is the color orange. I should have returned it.

Sad it's not the same formula of the 1970"s
It does not smell or have the same spread as the original produce. BTW, not sure if the original produce wasn't harmful in some way as it worked well and quickly!

Just like mom used
I was blown away this was just like mom's Bain De soleil! Although this seemed to have a little more cinnamon scent, still crazy memories for me! Thanks for making this!

Love this. Just didn’t intend to be on subscription so now I have two which I don’t need. Need to cancel asap so be aware when you order. Scent and texture are definitely reminiscent of Ban de soleil from my childhood.

Disappointed
This is sold as a reincarnation of Bain de Soleil Orange Gelée. Sadly, it is not. The texture is correct, but the smell is not, and that is what I have missed the most.

Great stuff - reminds me of the 1970s! Smells beautiful, and easy to apply. Great price.
