Overview
An aerosol self-tanning accelerator in a watermelon scent, formulated to speed up the skin's natural tanning response while a shimmer finish blurs minor imperfections. Vegan and cruelty-free, packaged in a 120 mL can for topical use on all skin types.
This is an accelerator, not a bronzer with instant color; it works alongside sun or a UV source to intensify a tan already forming. The shimmer particles are cosmetic and sit on the surface, so they wash off with the next shower rather than deepening the tan itself. Reviewers' numbers put it in the mid three-star range, worth weighing against a shimmer finish some buyers may not want for everyday wear.
- 120 mL aerosol can, roughly 4 fl oz
- Vegan and cruelty-free formulation
- Watermelon scent with shimmer finish
- Designed to blur the look of minor skin imperfections
Who it's for
Suits people who already get some sun and want to accelerate and extend that color for an event, plus anyone who likes a shimmer finish on bare skin. Not a fit for anyone wanting a fragrance-free product or a self-tanner that develops color without any sun exposure.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Vegan and cruelty-free formula
- Aerosol can for even, quick application
- Shimmer finish for an immediate glow
- Watermelon scent instead of typical tanning-oil smell
- Needs sun exposure to build color
- Shimmer will transfer to light-colored clothing
- No SPF listed on this product
Performance notes
As an accelerator, the formula is designed to work with the skin's own melanin production during sun exposure rather than depositing pigment like a traditional self-tanner. The shimmer component is a separate cosmetic layer that catches light on application and comes off with washing, so it doesn't affect how long the tan itself lasts.

Questions about the THE FOX TAN 101164

Is this a vegan product?

Will the shimmer come off on clothes or sheets?
