A cosmetic composition for sunless tanning or imparting glow to skin is herein described. The composition includes from 0.1 to 20% by weight of a tanning agent and from 0.1 to 20% by weight of a crosslinked cationic copolymer having a monomer unit which is a methacryloylethyl or acryloylethyl tri(C-C alkyl)ammonium salt. The crosslinked cationic copolymer is a colour enhancing agent which improves colour intensity and avoids streaking of the developing tan/glow.
