Overview
Onyx's Booster (model 1251-087) is an indoor tanning bed accelerator lotion without bronzer, formulated to hydrate skin and boost melanin activity while including tattoo protection. It comes in an 8.5 fluid ounce bottle with a fruity Fruit Me On scent.
Because it skips bronzer, this is meant to work with the tanning bed itself rather than adding instant-off color like a self tanner would. The formula is positioned as paraben, SLES, and SLS free, and the listing notes dermatologist testing and cruelty free status, which matters for anyone applying a lotion regularly under UV light.
- 8.5 fluid ounce bottle
- No bronzer formula
- Tattoo protection included
- Paraben, SLES, SLS free
Who it's for
This fits people who already use tanning beds and want a hydrating accelerator with tattoo protection rather than a bronzing or self tanning product. It isn't for anyone looking for a sunless tan or added color from the bottle.
Strengths and trade-offs

Performance notes
As an accelerator rather than a self tanner, the product is meant to be applied before or during tanning bed sessions to support the skin's tanning response and add hydration, with the tattoo protection element aimed at preserving ink color under UV exposure.
