Overview
An 8 oz tanning accelerator lotion in the Classic Cocoa Dreams scent, formulated with antioxidants to moisturize and soften skin while tanning.
This is a 2020 reformulation from Australian Gold, sold as a paraben-free lotion. It's built to accelerate color development rather than provide sun protection, so it functions as a tanning aid, not a sunscreen.
- 8 fl oz bottle
- Classic Cocoa Dreams scent
- Paraben-free
- Antioxidant-enriched lotion
Who it's for
For people who tan outdoors or in a bed and want a scented, moisturizing lotion to speed color development. Not for anyone looking for SPF protection, since this listing includes no sun protection factor.
Strengths and trade-offs

Performance notes
