Our verdict

A hemp seed oil tanning accelerator for people already exposed to UV, not a substitute for sunless tanner. A reasonable pick if you tan regularly and want a moisturizing oil in the routine.

Overview

Deviously Bronze 45X is an oil based dark bronzer from Australian Gold built around hemp seed oil, meant to accelerate color while tanning rather than substitute for sun or bed exposure. It comes in an 8.5 ounce bottle formulated for medium skin tones and includes an antioxidant blend.

The 45X in the name refers to the accelerator strength Australian Gold assigns across its indoor tanning lotion line, not an SPF style measurement. Because it is an oil, not a mineral sunscreen, it belongs in the deepen-a-tan category, not sun protection. Buyers already familiar with tanning salon lotions will recognize the format faster than newcomers.

  • 8.5 fluid ounce bottle
  • Oil form with hemp seed oil
  • 45X accelerator strength
  • Formulated for medium skin tones

Who it's for

Suits people who already tan outdoors or in a bed and want to darken results faster with a moisturizing oil base. Not for anyone looking for sun protection or a sunless self-tanner that develops color without UV exposure, despite the category label.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Oil base doubles as a skin moisturizer during tanning
  • Formulated with hemp seed oil and an antioxidant blend
  • 8.5 oz bottle sized for regular use
Cons
  • Requires actual sun or tanning bed exposure to develop color
  • Oil format can feel heavier than lotions
  • No SPF, so it offers no sun protection

Performance notes

As an oil formula it sits on the skin's surface to help retain moisture during tanning sessions rather than absorbing quickly, and the hemp seed oil and antioxidant blend read as skin conditioning additions rather than color drivers. The 45X accelerator rating suggests a stronger darkening effect than lower numbered products in the same line, though actual results still depend on the wearer's own UV exposure.

Frequently asked questions

Is Australian Gold's Deviously Bronze 45X a self tanner?

No. It is a tanning accelerator oil meant for use during sun or tanning bed exposure, not a sunless self-tanner that develops color on its own.

Does the 45X Dark Bronzer contain sunscreen?

The listed attributes do not include SPF or sun protection, so it should not be relied on for UV protection.

What does the 45X rating mean on Australian Gold's bronzer?

It reflects the brand's accelerator strength scale used across its tanning lotion line, indicating a stronger darkening intensity than lower numbered products, not a measure of sun protection.
