Overview

Hempz's Dark Tan Maximizer is a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic lotion sized at 9 fl oz, marketed for use with tanning beds, at the beach or in the sun to help deepen tan color.

The product sits in Hempz's herbal moisturizing lotion line, formulated to condition skin during tanning sessions rather than to sunless-tan without UV exposure. Being labeled hypoallergenic and fragrance-free sets it apart from Hempz's scented lotions, which matters for people sensitive to the brand's usual fragrance blends. The listing does not specify SPF, so it should not be treated as sun protection.

  • 9 fl oz bottle
  • Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic
  • Formulated for tanning beds, beach and sun use
  • Targets a deep tan tone

Who it's for

Aimed at people who already tan indoors or outdoors and want a moisturizing lotion to use alongside those sessions, particularly those who react to fragranced tanning products. Not a fit for anyone looking for sunless self-tanner that works without UV exposure, or for sun protection.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic
  • Moisturizing formula for use with tanning
  • Large 9 fl oz bottle
What to check first
  • No SPF or sun protection stated
  • Not a sunless self-tanner on its own

Performance notes

As a moisturizing lotion rather than a self-tanner with added color agents, it is built to condition skin during UV exposure rather than color skin on its own. The fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formulation reduces the odds of irritation compared with scented tanning lotions, though buyers should not expect it to replace sunscreen.
