In Conversation With
Tanne Snowden

Businesswoman and entrepreneur Tanné Snowden is the founder of Tronque, a body care brand born from her personal journey with endometriosis. After discovering the dangers of endocrine-disrupting ingredients in many products, Tanné set out to create a safer, plant-based alternative that prioritises well-being.

We have been stocking Tronque since its inception, and appreciate how the products are incredibly luxurious without compromising health. It was a pleasure to chat with Tanné and hear more about her new release - Triple Action Body Milk, now available at Simon James.

Tell us about your own health journey and how this has influenced the philosophy behind Tronque?

Body care, to me, is a deeply personal ritual of self-respect, healing, and connection. It’s not just about skincare, it’s about honouring the body that carries me through life, especially after all it’s endured. It’s a moment to slow down, nourish my skin, and support my health in a conscious, loving way. After years of dealing with illness and recovery, body care became my way of reclaiming power and presence. It’s a daily reminder to care for myself holistically, from the outside in, with products that feel beautiful, perform powerfully, and align with my values. It’s self-care, elevated.

Tronque was born through my struggle with reproductive health. While recovering from my second endometriosis surgery in 2019, I learnt about endocrine disruptors in our skincare and how they can mimic hormones. I investigated my daily skincare regime and was shocked to discover that these products from well-known global brands contained harmful ingredients proven to disrupt human hormonal systems. I then ditched my harmful beauty care to search for an alternative.  

Could you share the science behind your new release, the Triple Action Body Milk?

Our Triple Active Body Milk is meticulously crafted with high-performance ingredients that work together to refine, lift, and tone the skin, while targeting the underlying causes of cellulite, sagging, and loss of elasticity. 

This product has been three years in the making - researching and finding the newest, most innovative ingredients targeted at lymphatic flow, cellulite, skin firming and collagen and elastin stimulation.

Through our years of research and development, we found our three core active ingredients - these truly were the most powerful combination for reducing fat accumulation, stimulating microcirculation and targeting skin sagging and loss of elasticity.

The Triple Active Body Milk has been clinically proven to mimic lymphatic drainage. One of our powerful lipolytic agent active ingredients is  composed of vegetable caffeine and green coffee extract, helping to reduce cellulite and enhance skin firmness. It also supports fluid drainage and improves the appearance of body contours for a smoother, more toned silhouette. 

It was very important for us to create this product with a very different texture to our other products. We wanted something that was “featherlight” to the touch, that resembled a lotion crossed with a milky hydrating serum. It’s truly the combination of a 3-in-1 product that makes the Triple Active Body Milk so special and really does fill a gap in the global body care market.

With the cooler months approaching can you tell us any rituals you incorporate into your routine?

As the weather cools and the air becomes drier, I naturally shift my body care routine to focus on nourishment, circulation, and ritual. Seasonal changes are the perfect reminder to slow down, reconnect with your body, and support your skin with intention.

One of my go-to rituals is dry brushing. I do this a few mornings a week before showering, using long, gentle strokes toward the heart. It helps boost circulation, stimulate lymphatic drainage, and slough off dead skin cells, prepping the skin to better absorb hydration with the Firming Butter or Triple Active Body Milk. Beyond the physical benefits, it’s a beautiful moment of connection with your body—it wakes up the skin and clears stagnant energy.

I also love incorporating body Gua Sha into my routine in the evenings. Using the Vitamin C Body Oil, I glide the tool along areas like the thighs, arms, and stomach. It’s incredibly effective for relieving tension, sculpting, and improving skin tone. It’s become a grounding self-care ritual that I genuinely look forward to.

Of course, hydration is essential. As temperatures drop, I switch to richer, more nourishing formulas like our Firming Butter and Vitamin C Body Oil. These are packed with bioactive ingredients, antioxidants, and skin-repairing botanicals that restore moisture, improve elasticity, and protect the skin barrier.

Together, these rituals turn daily care into something much deeper—an opportunity to honour your body, protect your skin, and transition into the season with intention.

For those new to Tronque, which product would you recommend as an introduction?

I suggest either the Firming Butter, Vitamin C Body Oil or the Triple Active Body Milk.

The Firming Body Butter is an blend of repairing actives, including a hydrating fusion of biotech ceramides, Mamaku, niacinamide, squalane, hyaluronic acid and glycerine feed to calm and deeply revitalise dry, damaged areas. New Zealand Red Seaweed instantly hydrates, plumps and tightens skin, enhancing delivery and absorption of actives, all while restoring skin firmness, elasticity and 'glow'.

The Vitamin C Body Oil helps to restore radiance, prevent fine lines, tackle pigmentation and slow skin ageing. Expect plump, smooth, healthy, even textured skin with a light, dry finish. This product has been scientifically proven to boost elasticity, firmness and hydration all while protecting the skin's natural moisture barrier against irritation and dehydration. 

Triple Active Body Milk is a featherlight, velvety lotion with a smooth, opalescent texture that glides onto the skin, offering immediate hydration and nourishment. This clinically proven formula is meticulously crafted with high-performance ingredients that work together to refine, lift, and tone the skin, while targeting cellulite, sagging, and loss of elasticity. 

Or, our Ionic Dry Brush takes dry brushing to a whole new level with ionic charged copper bristles that create negative ions as your brush. You can also see the dead skin cells fly off into a flurry - which can be very satisfying.
