Overview

Australian Gold's Cheeky Brown is an 8.5 ounce tanning bed lotion built around a dark natural bronzer, listed as hydrating, alcohol free and cruelty free. It is positioned as an accelerator for indoor tanning bed use.

Accelerator lotions like this are formulated to work with tanning bed UV exposure rather than as a sunless self tanner, and the bronzer component adds visible color on top of whatever tan develops from the bed itself. The alcohol free formulation is worth noting since many tanning lotions use alcohol as a drying agent, which this one skips in favor of a hydrating base.

  • Dark natural bronzer accelerator
  • 8.5 ounce size
  • Alcohol free and cruelty free
  • Formulated for tanning bed use

Who it's for

Fits buyers who use tanning beds regularly and want a bronzing accelerator lotion. Not for anyone looking for a sunless self tanner to use without a tanning bed or sun exposure.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Alcohol free, hydrating formula
  • Full 8.5 ounce size
What to check first
  • Requires tanning bed use, not a standalone sunless tanner
  • Unscented only, no fragrance option listed

Performance notes

As an accelerator, the lotion is meant to be applied before a tanning bed session, working alongside UV exposure rather than replacing it, with the bronzer adding immediate color. The alcohol free, hydrating base is meant to offset the drying effect that repeated tanning bed sessions can have on skin.
