Overview
Australian Gold's Heavy Metal is a 20x bronzer tanning lotion in a 10 ounce bottle, built to push color further inside a tanning bed. It leans toward deep, medium-dark tones rather than a light golden base, and the formula is gluten free and cruelty free.
The 20X label refers to the bronzer intensity blend rather than SPF, so this is an indoor tanning accelerator, not sun protection. No reviews are attached to this listing, so buyers are working from the label alone.
- 10 fluid ounce bottle
- 20x bronzer intensity blend
- Gluten free, cruelty free
- Targets medium deep skin tone results
Who it's for
Suits regular tanning bed users chasing a darker, faster color build who already know their skin tolerates bronzer-heavy lotions. Not for anyone wanting outdoor sun protection or a subtle, gradual tan.
Strengths and trade-offs

Performance notes
Bronzer lotions like this rely on a mix of darkening agents and cosmetic bronzers layered into the lotion base, working through the tanning bed's UV exposure rather than on their own. Results depend heavily on skin tone, bed strength and session length, none of which the listing specifies.
