Powerful tanning accelerator with DHA: an instant dark tan that keeps developing

Australian Gold’s Accelerator Extreme is a sunbed tanning accelerator lotion, formulated with a unique blend of natural and cosmetic bronzers. Chicory and black walnut extract give an instant dark tan, while concentrated DHA builds on it after your session and makes it last longer. Already know Australian Gold’s Accelerator? Accelerator Extreme goes a step further, with the Cocoa Dreams fragrance.

What does Australian Gold’s Accelerator Extreme do?

Accelerator Extreme helps you tan faster and darker on a sunbed: it’s a tanning accelerator with bronzers, for an intense tan. Its formula works in three stages. During your session, the Biosine complex boosts natural production of melanin, the pigment behind your tan, for a darker tan, faster. As soon as you apply it, chicory and black walnut give instant dark colour. Over the following hours, concentrated DHA develops the tan gradually and makes it last longer.

It’s one of Australian Gold’s iconic products (Iconic Kickstart Products range). It’s an accelerator with bronzers: designed for sunbeds, it can be used outdoors when the sun is at its weakest. It contains no SPF.

Accelerator Extreme key ingredients

  • DHA (dihydroxyacetone): the formula’s bronzer, in concentrated form. The tan develops gradually and lasts longer.
  • Chicory extract and black walnut shell extract: natural bronzers for an instant dark tan.
  • Biosine Complex: tea tree essential oil, olive oil and provitamin B5 (panthenol). It boosts melanin production for darker results, faster.
  • Aloe vera: the first active ingredient after water, for well-hydrated skin.
  • Sunflower and hemp seed oils: keep the skin healthy, and healthy skin tans better.
  • Vitamins A and E: vitamin A protects the skin from environmental aggressors; antioxidant vitamin E helps fight skin ageing.

The full ingredient list (INCI) is shown in its own section on this page.

How to use Accelerator Extreme on a sunbed

Apply Accelerator Extreme to clean, dry skin before your tanning session, in a thin, even layer all over your body. Wash your hands thoroughly after application: DHA colours your palms too. Stick to the session time recommended by your salon to avoid burning. The colour from the DHA keeps developing over the hours after your session.

The 15ml sachet lets you try the product or take it to the salon. The 250ml bottle is made for regular use.

Accelerator with or without bronzers: which one?

DHA doesn’t create a tan, it transforms it: an established tan that has turned dull takes on a darker, more coppery colour.

  • A bronzer-free accelerator, such as Australian Gold’s Dark Tanning Accelerator (lotion or spray): ideal for your first sessions and fair skin, while you build your tan.
  • Accelerator Extreme (with DHA): ideal for olive skin or skin that’s already well tanned, for a darker, longer-lasting tan.

Accelerator Extreme FAQs

Does Accelerator Extreme contain bronzers?

Yes. Accelerator Extreme contains concentrated DHA, the bronzer also used in self-tan products, plus chicory and black walnut extracts. Your tan looks dark from the session onwards and keeps developing afterwards.

Does Accelerator Extreme protect against the sun?

No. Accelerator Extreme contains no SPF: it is not sun protection. It is designed for sunbeds and can be used outdoors when the sun is at its weakest.

What’s the difference between Australian Gold Accelerator and Accelerator Extreme?

Accelerator Extreme adds bronzers to the accelerating action: chicory and black walnut for an instant dark tan, and concentrated DHA for a tan that develops and lasts longer.

What does Accelerator Extreme smell like?

It has Australian Gold’s Cocoa Dreams fragrance, with notes of citrus, vanilla and coconut.
