FAQs
Is the Power Tan Non-Stop Black Hybrid Accelerator a self-tanner?
No, this product is an accelerator, not a self-tanner. It works by stimulating your skin's natural melanin production when exposed to UV light (from sun or tanning beds) to enhance and deepen your natural tan. It does not contain DHA, which is the active ingredient in most self-tanners.
Do I still need to use sunscreen with this product?
Yes, absolutely. The Power Tan Non-Stop Black Hybrid Accelerator does not contain SPF and offers no protection against harmful UV rays. Always apply a separate broad-spectrum sunscreen with adequate SPF when tanning outdoors or if using in a sunbed that requires it, to protect your skin from sunburn and UV damage.
How often should I use the accelerator?
For optimal results, apply the accelerator generously and evenly to your skin immediately before each tanning session, whether it's under the sun or in a tanning bed.
What does 'DHA-Free' mean?
'DHA-Free' means the product does not contain Dihydroxyacetone, which is the active ingredient in most sunless tanning lotions that chemically reacts with the skin to produce a tan. Being DHA-free, this accelerator relies on enhancing your skin's natural tanning process for color development.
What is Algotan P® and how does it work?
Algotan P® is a unique complex of marine origin ingredients. It is designed to mimic the effects of sunlight exposure on the skin, thereby stimulating your skin's natural melanin production. This helps achieve a deeper, darker, and more lasting tan by enhancing your body's intrinsic tanning mechanism.
Can I use this lotion on my face?
Yes, the product is generally suitable for use on the face. However, as facial skin can be more sensitive, we recommend performing a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure there is no irritation.
Will this product stain my clothes?
While the lotion is designed to absorb quickly, it's always best to allow the product to fully dry and absorb into your skin for several minutes before dressing. This helps prevent any potential transfer to clothing, especially lighter fabrics.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or patchy tan
Ensure skin is thoroughly exfoliated before application. Apply the lotion evenly and consistently, paying close attention to blending around elbows, knees, and ankles. Avoid applying too much product in one area.
Tan is not as dark as expected
Verify you are applying the lotion before each tanning session. Results depend on individual skin type and natural tanning ability; consistent use over several sessions often yields deeper results. Ensure adequate UV exposure during tanning sessions.
Skin irritation after use
Although 'tingle-free' and suitable for most skin types, discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs. Perform a patch test on a small skin area and wait 24 hours before full application to rule out sensitivities.
Lotion feels sticky or doesn't absorb well
Ensure your skin is completely clean and dry before application. Apply a moderate amount, rather than excessive quantities, and allow a few minutes for the lotion to fully absorb before dressing or beginning your tanning session.

Care and Storage
- Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain product efficacy.
- Shelf Life: Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent oxidation and maintain freshness.
