Sun Laboratories by Giesee Ultra Dark Sunless Tanning Lotion is an 8 oz organic self-tanner that delivers an instant, deep bronzed glow for face and body without UV exposure.

This sunless tanning lotion blends natural ingredients with a bronzer tint to produce a rich, even tan that develops quickly and lasts.

Lightweight and pleasant-smelling, it doubles as an instant bronzer and a gradual developing tan for versatile application.

How quickly will I see a tan after applying this lotion?

You’ll notice an immediate bronzed tint right after application that gives instant color for events or photos. The DHA and gradual-developing pigments continue to deepen the tan over the next 4–8 hours, reaching a darker, long-lasting finish.

• Instant bronzer provides immediate color for touch-ups and quick results
• Develops further over several hours for a natural depth
• Lasts multiple days with proper upkeep and moisturizing

Will this product work on the face, body, and legs without streaking?

The formula is created to spread evenly across skin, minimizing streaks when applied with a mitt or clean hands. Its smooth, non-greasy texture helps blend around contours like knees, elbows, and the jawline for a uniform finish.

• Thin, blendable lotion texture for controlled coverage
• Suggested use with an application mitt or exfoliated skin
• Gentle enough for facial use while giving full-body bronzing

How dark will the tan be and can I adjust intensity?

This is labeled Ultra Dark to provide an intense sunless tan in one application, ideal for deep bronzing. To customize intensity, apply a thin layer for a moderate look or build additional coats over successive days for a richer tone.

• One-step ultra dark payoff for deep color seekers
• Layerable formula lets you control how dark your tan becomes
• Washable guide tint helps you see where you applied the lotion

Is this lotion safe for sensitive skin and does it use natural ingredients?

The product emphasizes organic and natural components and is cruelty-free and vegan, designed to be gentle on most skin types. As with any topical product, patch testing is recommended for those with highly sensitive or reactive skin.

• Formulated from natural and organic-derived ingredients
• Vegan and never tested on animals
• Patch test before full-face or full-body use to check compatibility
