ASIN: B09YHC8D4SCategory: Tanning Accelerator Lotions

Overview

Built for tanning bed sessions rather than sunless application, this Onyx accelerator lotion boosts melanin production during UV exposure instead of adding topical color. The 8.5 fl oz formula skips bronzer for a streak-free result.

Because it is bronzer-free, this lotion will not show any color change on its own, since it works by accelerating the skin's own melanin response during UV exposure rather than depositing dye. That is a meaningful distinction from self-tanners in the same beauty category, and anyone expecting a bronzed look straight from the bottle should look elsewhere.

  • Bronzer-free melanin accelerator
  • 8.5 fl oz size
  • Sweet lime tree scent
  • Paraben, SLES and SLS free

Who it's for

Suited to people who use tanning beds regularly and want to speed up the natural tanning process without a bronzer stain. Not for anyone wanting a sunless tan, since there is no color-depositing ingredient here.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Bronzer-free, so no staining on sheets or clothes
  • Includes hydrating oils to offset UV drying
Cons
  • No color payoff without actual UV exposure
  • Not a substitute for sunless self-tanner

Performance notes

The formula is built to boost melanin activity during UV exposure, working alongside tanning bed sessions rather than replacing them, while hydrating oils are included to offset the drying effect UV exposure has on skin. Because there is no bronzer, the streak-free claim refers to application feel rather than color transfer, since there is no dye to streak in the first place.
