Philanthropy
St. Tropez works closely with the Prince's Trust and helped to raise £90,000 with its sponsorship of its first Spring Ball in 2009. It also participates in the charity’s Million Makers scheme, provides training via its staff for young people looking to gain additional skills in the workplace and has launched a Beauty steering group – led by CEO, Michelle Feeney.

Skin Smart campaign
In May 2009, St Tropez began the Skin Smart campaign by announcing the launch of a new beauty industry lobby group to campaign for stricter regulations on sun beds in the UK. This included the launch of a petition backed by Sian James MP that aims to ban sun beds for under- 18s.

The All Parliamentary Parliament Lobbying Group*, which is being spearheaded by Sian James MP, is calling to ban all unmanned coin-operated sun beds in the UK, prevent any under 18 year old from using sun beds and introduce health and safety regulations for all sun bed shops, gyms and salons.

Event sponsorship
At the 2009, Brit Awards and V Festival, St. Tropez gave performers and VIP’s the chance to experience their new ‘No Tan, Tan’ products backstage. Both events were a huge success, with over 3 gallons of tanning product being used at the V Festival.
