THE ORANGE GELÉE® STORY

Orange Gelée® was a beloved suncare product produced by now discontinued brand Bain De Soleil® (French for "sun bathing”). It was one of the world’s first suncare products starting its life in France in the 1920’s and becoming immensely popular in the US and the rest of the world throughout the 1960s, 70’s, 80’s and 90s. The product was originally designed to help the wearer achieve a “French Riviera Tan”, and over the years developed into a line of suncare products with SPF levels ranging from SPF4 through SPF30. The product was known and loved for its distinct orange gel formula, transportive scent, and luxurious feel. Much to the disappointment of many devoted fans, it was discontinued in December 2019.

The Orange Gelée® Revival Project is a joint initiative between Vacation® and Orange Gelée® fans to bring a revived version of the beloved product back by summer 2024.
