Overview
An 8.5 oz tan accelerator lotion from Pro Tan's Desirably Dark line, carrying a medium deep tint and a fresh floral bloom scent. Listed as hydrating, paraben free and cruelty free, and made by Performance Brands.
The accelerator framing points to use alongside an existing sun or tanning-bed routine rather than as a standalone sunless self-tanner. The listing doesn't spell out active tanning ingredients beyond the hydrating claim, so treat this as a routine addition rather than a color-building product on its own.
- 8.5 fl oz lotion
- Medium deep skin tone tint
- Fresh floral bloom scent
- Paraben free and cruelty free
Who it's for
Fits people who already tan by sun or bed and want a hydrating lotion with a bronzing tint layered in. Not a fit for anyone wanting a DHA-based sunless tanner that builds color without UV exposure.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Paraben free and cruelty free
- Medium deep tint layer included
- No SPF listed
- Formula details beyond hydration aren't specified
- No reviews on file to confirm results
Performance notes
The paraben-free, cruelty-free formula is positioned as hydrating while adding a medium deep tint layer during a tanning session. Because the listing doesn't detail active tanning compounds, its role reads as a supporting lotion rather than the primary source of color.
