Overview

Australian Gold Dark Tanning Accelerator Lotion is an 8.5 fl oz lotion formulated to speed tan development, in a chocolate, coconut, orange and vanilla scent blend. It suits people already tanning outdoors or in a bed who want to intensify color rather than add sun protection.

This is a tanning accelerator rather than a sunscreen or self-tanner, meaning it is designed to work alongside UV exposure rather than replace or block it. The scent profile combines four notes, chocolate, coconut, orange and vanilla, a distinctive combination compared to single-scent tanning lotions. It is gluten free.

  • Chocolate, coconut, orange and vanilla scent
  • Gluten free
  • Designed to speed tan color development

Who it's for

Fits people who tan outdoors or in a bed and want a lotion aimed at deepening color faster. Not suited to anyone wanting sun protection, since it is an accelerator, not an SPF product.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Multi-note chocolate, coconut, orange and vanilla scent
  • 8.5 fl oz size covers several applications
  • Gluten free formula
What to check first
  • Not a sunscreen or SPF product
  • Scent blend will not suit those wanting fragrance free

Performance notes

As an accelerator rather than a bronzer or self-tanner, the lotion is meant to be applied before or during UV exposure to work with the skin's own tanning process rather than add color directly. The combined chocolate, coconut, orange and vanilla scent is part of the product's identity within Australian Gold's tanning lineup.
