Overview
The Fox Tan Rapid Tanning Elixir is a 120 ml lotion positioned as a tanning accelerator rather than a sunless self tanner, meant to be applied before sun exposure. It is vegan and free of animal by-products, with 50,000 units bought in the past month.
Nothing in the spec sheet mentions DHA or a bronzer, the two hallmarks of a sunless self tanner, so this reads as an outdoor tanning accelerator used under sun exposure rather than a color-developing lotion applied indoors. Bought past month sits at 50,000 units, an unusually high figure in this catalog.
- 4 fl oz (120 g) tanning accelerator lotion
- Vegan, animal by-product free
- Ranks #105 in tanning oils and lotions
- 50,000 units bought in the past month
Who it's for
People who tan outdoors and want a lotion to speed up color development while in the sun. Not a fit for anyone wanting a sunless tan with no UV exposure, since that mechanism is not indicated here.
