Overview

An 8 oz tanning gel with shimmering gold flakes, formulated with antioxidants and aloe for use indoors or outdoors while tanning.

This is a shimmer tanning accelerant gel rather than a self-tanner, meant to be applied before sun or tanning-bed exposure. The gold flecks are a cosmetic shimmer rather than a color-depositing pigment.

  • 8 oz tanning power gel
  • Glistening gold shimmer flakes
  • Antioxidants and aloe
  • Non-greasy, for indoor and outdoor use

Who it's for

Suits people who tan outdoors or in tanning beds and want a lightweight, non-greasy gel with visible shimmer. Not for anyone seeking sun protection or a gradual self-tanning color.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Lightweight, non-greasy gel texture
  • Aloe and antioxidants included
  • Works for both indoor and outdoor tanning
What to check first
  • No SPF or sun protection listed
  • Shimmer flakes may not suit those wanting a matte finish

Performance notes

The gel base is designed to feel lightweight and non-greasy against sweat and heat during a tanning session, while aloe is included to offset the drying effect of UV exposure. The gold flakes sit on the skin surface for a glistening look rather than altering skin tone directly.
