Super Dark Black Bronzer (Art of Sun) - Fast tan with an instant coppery effect

Super Dark Black Bronzer is a tanning accelerator with bronzers: you apply it before your tanning session, and it contains bronzing agents. DHA intensifies your tan. It doesn’t create the colour, it transforms it: an established tan that has gone dull and turned greyish after many sessions takes on a warmer, coppery, radiant tone. Erythrulose, a gentler bronzer, completes the action of DHA for a more even colour.

So it’s a product for olive skin or skin that’s already deeply tanned and wants to take its tan further. For your first sessions or for fair skin, we recommend a bronzer-free accelerator such as Super Dark Black Tanner instead.

• DHA (dihydroxyacetone): the go-to bronzer, which intensifies your tan.
• Erythrulose: a bronzer that works gently and complements DHA for a more natural, even colour.
• Avocado oil (Persea Gratissima Oil): a natural moisturiser that gives the skin valuable proteins, and nourishes and softens it.
• Aloe vera: rich in minerals and vitamins, it hydrates, holds moisture in the skin and nourishes it.
• Panthenol: provitamin B5, it soothes the skin and keeps it supple.
• Caramel: a colourant in the formula.
• Parfum: the lotion is fragranced; if your face is sensitive to fragrance, avoid that area.

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

Apply the lotion generously to clean, dry skin just before your tanning session, in an even layer all over your body. Wash your hands thoroughly after application: DHA also colours the palms of your hands. Stick to the session time recommended by your salon to avoid burning. The colour from the bronzers develops in the hours after your session.

• For external use only; avoid contact with your eyes.
• Stop using it if irritation occurs.
• The product contains no SPF: it is designed for sunbeds and should only be used outdoors when the sun is at its weakest.
• Store the tube or sachet in a cool place, away from light.

BLACK Super Dark Bronzer and BLACK Super Dark Tanner are two sister accelerators from Art of Sun’s Black range. The difference is the bronzer.

• Super Dark Black Tanner (bronzer-free): ideal for fair skin and your first sessions, while you build your tan.
• Super Dark Black Bronzer (with DHA and erythrulose): ideal once your tan is established, for a more intense colour with coppery tones.

Does Super Dark Black Bronzer contain SPF?

No. Super Dark Black Bronzer contains no SPF: it is not a sun cream. It is designed for sunbeds and can be used outdoors when the sun is at its weakest.

Is Super Dark Black Bronzer a self tan?

No, it’s a tanning accelerator that contains bronzers. Your tan comes from the UV session; DHA and erythrulose intensify it and give it a more coppery colour.

Does DHA stain your hands?

Yes, DHA colours the skin wherever it is applied, including the palms of your hands. Wash your hands thoroughly straight after application.

Which size should I choose?

The 15ml sachet is handy for one session or to try the product. The 125ml tube suits you if you use sunbeds regularly.
