Product Details
Skip the midday UV scorch and wrap your skin in the kind of deep, Mediterranean-inspired bronze that looks like you just stepped off a yacht in Capri. Sun Laboratories by Giesee SUN Self Tanning Lotion Ultra Dark Instant Tint is built with a rich, dark cosmetic bronzer that goes to work the second it glides over your limbs, painting a visible color map so you can see every single stroke without second-guessing your coverage. Behind that instant mahogany sheen, a concentrated concentration of DHA gets straight to business, gradually bonding with your skin's outer layers to develop an authentic, deep sun-baked pigment that lasts for up to a week.
Unlike watery formulas that slip away or tacky mousses that leave you stuck waiting on cold bathroom tiles, this lush cream operates with the velvety body of an intensive daily moisturizer. It melts effortlessly into thirsty skin, blanketing dry knees, elbows, and collarbones with botanical conditioners—including soothing aloe vera, calendula blossom, and chamomile extract—to ward off that telltale chalky patchiness as your color cures. Best of all, it trades that notorious burnt-sugar DHA odor for an unexpectedly fresh cherry-almond signature scent that makes the application ritual genuinely enjoyable.
Whether you are prepping for center-stage lights, a midwinter weekend escape, or simply craving that year-round golden-hour radiance, this iconic cult-classic formula gives you total airbrush control right at home. The visible tint rinses away clean in your first post-development shower, leaving behind zero orange undertones and unveiling a deep, believable bronze that fades as evenly and naturally as a real summer tan. It is the dependable, salon-proven secret weapon for tanning devotees who refuse to settle for faint, barely-there color.
Visible Instant Color Guide: The rich cosmetic bronzer paints an instant, deep mahogany guide on your skin so you can see exactly where you have applied it without leaving accidental streaks behind. While you admire your immediate glow, active DHA works underneath to develop a long-lasting, deep tan over the next several hours.
Botanical Hydration Base: Infused with skin-soothing aloe vera, chamomile, and calendula extracts, the nourishing lotion base conditions parched limbs as you apply. Hydrated skin retains pigment far better, guaranteeing a smooth, flawless wear that fades evenly without cracking or flaking.
Warm Cherry-Almond Aroma: Crafted to bypass that lingering, unpleasant sunless tanner odor, this formula envelopes your senses in a comforting, sweet almond fragrance. You can comfortably relax around the house while your color sets without worrying about strong chemical fumes.
Authentic Non-Orange Undertones: Formulated with balanced, cool brown undertones, this ultra-dark blend delivers rich, vacation-ready color without any brassy, artificial orange cast. It adapts seamlessly to your natural undertone, looking effortlessly bronzed in both direct sunlight and indoor lighting.
Versatile Full-Body Performance: Safe and gentle enough for both facial contouring and all-over body application, giving you an end-to-end radiant finish from head to toe. For best results, sweep across clean, exfoliated skin with a plush tanning mitt to ensure seamless blending around wrists and ankles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Giesee SUN Self Tanning Lotion Ultra Dark is formulated to be gentle on most skin types. However, if you have extremely sensitive or reactive skin, we recommend doing a patch test on a small area 24 hours before full application. If you experience irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. The lotion is free from harsh chemicals, making it suitable for most users when applied as directed.
Giesee SUN Self Tanning Lotion Ultra Dark contains dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the primary active ingredient, which creates a natural-looking tan by reacting with amino acids in the skin's outer layer. The formula also includes moisturizing agents and skin-conditioning ingredients to ensure even application and prevent dryness. Full ingredient transparency is available on the product label and our website.
The instant tint in Giesee SUN Self Tanning Lotion Ultra Dark provides immediate color, so you'll see results right away. However, the full development of the self-tanning effect typically occurs within 4-8 hours as the DHA reacts with your skin. For the deepest color, wait 12-24 hours before showering. Results continue to deepen within the first 24 hours of application.
