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.

Good gel, helped me tan
It was great, smelled good, although during event when first put on. Allowed me not to burn. Gave me good skin tone and I stayed hydrated.

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.

Glad to have finally tried this stuff
Smells divine, make skin look shiny and smooth with just the slightest hint of a tan color to it. I"ve been curious so I got some during the anniversary sale and I really like it as a nice change from my usual vacation sunscreen.

Daily wear!
The scent is wonderful and the gel is not sticky and absorbs well. My skin feels silky and hydrated - it’s a sunscreen I don’t mind putting on daily!
