Super Dark Black Tanner (Art of Sun) - Effective, affordable tanning accelerator

Super Dark Black Tanner speeds up your tan during your tanning session. Tan Oleobooster supports your skin’s natural melanin production and gives a dark, deep tan that lasts. Tyrosine, the amino acid that melanin is made from, supports this process: the colour builds faster, session after session.

Because it contains no bronzers (no DHA), all the colour you get comes from your own melanin: it’s a natural tan. Your tan builds gradually, with no orange tone, which makes it the right choice to start a sunbed tanning season.

• Tan Oleobooster: supports your skin’s own melanin production for a deep, long-lasting tan.
• Tyrosine: the classic active in tanning accelerators, a natural precursor of melanin.
• Avocado oil: a natural moisturiser that gives the skin valuable proteins.
• Aloe vera: rich in minerals and vitamins, it hydrates, holds water in the skin and nourishes it.
• Sesame oil: nourishes the skin without leaving a greasy film.
• Tamanu oil: a repairing oil that soothes the skin after UV exposure.
• Panthenol: calms feelings of heat and makes the skin more comfortable.
• Vitamin E: an antioxidant that protects the skin against free radicals.

This tanning lotion is made in Germany by UV-Power, in Meppen. The full ingredient list (INCI) is shown in its own section on this page.

Apply Super Dark Black Tanner generously to clean, dry skin just before your tanning session, in an even layer all over your body. Wash your hands after application and avoid contact with your eyes. Stick to the session time recommended by your salon to avoid burning. Stop using it if irritation occurs.

The product is designed for sunbeds and suitable for outdoor use when the sun is at its weakest. Store it in a cool place, away from sunlight.

These two lotions from Art of Sun’s Black range share the same moisturising base of avocado oil and aloe vera. 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): for olive skin or skin that’s already deeply tanned. DHA doesn’t create the colour, it transforms it: a tan that has gone dull regains its coppery glow.

Does Super Dark Black Tanner contain bronzers?

No. Super Dark Black Tanner contains neither DHA nor erythrulose. It only stimulates your skin’s natural tan under UV.

Does the Super Dark Black Tanner accelerator contain SPF?

No. This Art of Sun accelerator contains no SPF: it is not a sun cream and does not protect your skin from UV rays.

Can I apply Super Dark Black Tanner to my face?

Yes, the lotion is suitable for both body and face; avoid the eye area. It contains fragrance: if your skin is sensitive to it, use it on your body only.

What’s the difference between the 125ml tube and the 15ml sachet?

The formula is the same. The 15ml sachet lets you try the accelerator before moving on to the 125ml tube for your regular sessions.

Why use a tanning accelerator on a sunbed?

A tanning accelerator hydrates your skin during your session and stimulates melanin production: your tan develops faster and lasts longer, while your skin is cared for.
