Overview
Onyx's Black Caviar lotion is an indoor tanning bed formula with bronzer and accelerator, made for an ultra dark tan and scented Prelude of Paradise. It comes in an 8.5 fluid ounce bottle and includes aloe for hydration.
This is a tanning bed accelerator and bronzer combination rather than a sunless self-tanner for daylight use, so its bronzer effect is meant to develop under UV exposure in a tanning bed. It ranks at number 87 in Tanning Oils and Lotions on Amazon's Beauty and Personal Care list, and it's formulated without paraben, SLES, or SLS, plus vegan and cruelty-free claims.
- 8.5 fl oz
- Bronzer + accelerator
- Aloe hydration
- Vegan, cruelty free
Who it's for
For people who use tanning beds and want a bronzer-and-accelerator lotion with a firming and moisturizing claim built in. Not intended for sunless, sun-free self-tanning routines, since it's built as a tanning bed accelerator.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Bronzer and accelerator combination for tanning beds
- Aloe for hydration
- Paraben, SLES, and SLS free
- Vegan and cruelty-free claims
- Requires UV tanning bed exposure, not a sunless self-tanner
- Scented, not fragrance free
Performance notes
The bronzer and accelerator combination is designed to deepen color from UV exposure in a tanning bed rather than develop through a DHA reaction the way sunless tanners do, and aloe is included for hydration alongside the firming and moisturizing benefits listed. The scent, Prelude of Paradise, is a named fragrance rather than unscented.
