From Humble Beginnings, the Eco Tan story

From Humble Beginnings, the Eco Tan story

Spring is here and we all know it's going to be no time at all until these limbs that haven't seen the light of the day in months all start to surface! it's no secret that the Eco Tan Range is our go-to at this time of year, their organic tanning range gives such a beautiful natural colour and we can be sure we aren't putting anything nasty on our skin. 
So what better time than now to share a bit of insight into the amazing Woman who stated the Eco Tan brand and what she stands for! 

From humble beginnings in her tiny Gold Coast kitchen in 2010, Sonya Driver Eco Tan founder now celebrates Eco Tan’s eighth year in business! Eco Tan has become a constantly growing global company with a huge and passionate cult following worldwide.

A GROWING GLOBAL PRESENCE

Today, in the organic beauty industry, we are considered a global leader! We have has 30 passionate Gold Coast staff members and thousands of stockists and distributors globally. Our products are now stocked as far and remotely as Madagascar, Vanuatu, Dubai and New Caledonia. Furthermore, you can even stock up on us from the Greek Isles or while flying on Icelandic Air!

STAUNCH IN THEIR VALUES AND BELIEFS

Despite our global reach, we refuse to consider entry into the Chinese market. China’s woeful animal cruelty practices means no amount of money will ever lure us away from our mission of ending animal cruelty.

INDUSTRY RECOGNITION 

We have attended trade shows all over the world! And Industry professionals have noticed our presence. We have also gained exposure throughout Las Vegas, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Hong Kong and London. Furthermore, with 11 major industry awards under our belt, and more in the works, our organic products are being seen and our message heard! We often even beaten out big players in the UK – for their own home-grown accolades! Some of these awards including: The Janey Loves Platinum AwardsThe Pure Beauty AwardsThe Natural Health International Beauty AwardsThe Beauty Shortlist AwardsThe Green Parent Natural Beauty Awards and RSVP Magazine’s Beauty Awards.

A COMPANY THAT GIVES BACK

We LOVE to ‘give back’! We regularly sponsor animal refuses… And we even paid for surgery for homeless dogs! Sonya is also passionate about sponsoring a Romanian woman and children, a cause close to her heart. Furthermore, Sonya even donated her wedding gifts to a local domestic violence charity.

Despite their growing success Sonya Driver Eco Tan Founder remains grounded, grateful and focused on their bright future. She maintains that…

“Eco Tan is evolving at a rapid rate, but my motivation will always come from the same place it began… Creating ecologically friendly, toxic free and cruelty free beauty products that provide people with a healthier alternative”. 

ON A FINAL NOTE, WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR ECO TRIBE – WE WOULDN’T BE AT WHERE WE ARE TODAY, WITHOUT YOU XX

We hope this has helped you understand more of the Story behind our Certified Organic product range.
