Review: Best self tanner I could find so far, not orangy, streakfree etc... - I really really love this self tanner. It is inexpensive, does not streak and looks completely natural on my skin. With other self tanners I used before, after a day or maybe after the second shower I took after using self tanner, they used to kind of rub off on certain parts of my body, so that it looked like I had some kind of skin problems or something, white spots and so on. But with this one, no matter how many showers I take after the initial night that I let it soak in, it does not rub off...if anything it fades after a while, just like a real tan would. It is easy to apply, the only thing that bothered me after applying it was the smell, but I understand that there is probably no self tanner in the world that will not smell a little bit. After taking a shower the next morning, the smell was gone anyway. I apply regular lotion and let that dry for about 30 minutes before I apply the self tanner. Specially on my knees, ellbows, knuckles and ankles. It comes out perfectly even and doesnt look orangy at all. I would recommend this product to anyone, specially since real tanning is damaging your skin. Great product. Great price. Review: My favorite self tanner! - I’ve tried everything under the sun for self tanning especially when I was pregnant and everything I’ve ever used is orange or streaky etc. this comes in a dark shimmer as well but I only get the one that looks like a white lotion when you apply it. You run it on just like lotion and use a decent amount like you’re moisturizing. Rub it in evenly all over until its mostly absorbed into the skin, just be careful around the ankle abs elbow areas I always kinda of brush my hands on those parts after I’ve already done my body that way it’s still on my hands but just moistened enough to give it slight color without it leaving the ankle and elbow area darker or orange looking. Just one use of this changes your color dramatically (in a good brown way) and it last about a week but if you reapply it for a few days you’ll be set for a few weeks! I only apply it at night that way when I shower in the morning the color has already set in and you’re ready to go😁 I love using it on my face too! It’s the most natural looking self tanner I’ve come across and I’ve been using it for years I just hate that I can’t find it in stores anymore but was thankful to find it on here! ## Features - SELF ADJUSTING COLOR FORMULA lets you CONTROL THE SHADE OF YOUR TAN–The more often you apply, the deeper your tan will become - OIL-FREE and contains ALOE VERA and VITAMIN E - STREAK FREE dark tanning lotion provides a natural-looking tan - FOR ALL SKIN TONES–Self tanner lotion provides a radiant, deep summer tan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0009Y6RHM | | ASIN | B0009Y6RHM | | Brand Name | Banana Boat | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (846) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00079656007817 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Lotion | | Item Weight | 6.88 Ounces | | Item model number | 3187440 | | Manufacturer | Banana Boat | | Manufacturer | Banana Boat | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3187440 | | Material Features | Oil Free | | Material Type Free | Oil Free | | Model Number | 3187440 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Radiant | | Product Dimensions | 1.85 x 3 x 6.44 inches; 6.88 ounces | | Scent Name | Unscented/Neutral | | Size | 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Skin Tone | All | | Skin Type | All | | UPC | 890758045930 885640342303 799457637128 787734641975 794866345367 616179362513 787461268629 885927968967 885411919277 079656007817 885243608738 | | UPC | 890758045930 885640342303 799457637128 787734641975 794866345367 616179362513 787461268629 885927968967 885411919277 079656007817 885243608738 | | Unit Count | 6 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Banana Boat - **Item Form:** Lotion - **Material Type Free:** Oil Free - **Product Benefits:** Radiant - **Skin Type:** All ## Images ![Banana Boat Summer Color Self Tanning Lotion, 6oz | Self Tanner, Deep Dark Color for All Skin Tones, Gradual Tanning Lotion, Sunless Tanner, 6oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51apUMXlMKL.jpg) ![Banana Boat Summer Color Self Tanning Lotion, 6oz | Self Tanner, Deep Dark Color for All Skin Tones, Gradual Tanning Lotion, Sunless Tanner, 6oz - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818ePs0ai9L.jpg) ![Banana Boat Summer Color Self Tanning Lotion, 6oz | Self Tanner, Deep Dark Color for All Skin Tones, Gradual Tanning Lotion, Sunless Tanner, 6oz - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31nqc74GsKL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why is this so expensive? Its $6 in the store** A: On Amazon, third party sellers often take advantage of the fact that an item is not sold directly by Amazon at the usual drugstore prices. Just get it at the store if you want to save the money. **Q: Does it stain the sheets and clothes?** A: I always put it on at night time after I shower and I let it set in for about 10 minutes before I put anything else on. It has never stained my clothes or my sheets. The reason that I do it at night time is because I do not like the smell. After I shower (first thing in the morning) I look like I just came off the beach. I LOVE IT! **Q: Can I put sun screen on? Will it protect?** A: Yes **Q: What's the smell? Bad or okay?** A: Its not bad but do yourself a favor Dollar General for 6.00 sells a great tanning lotion that dont spot you or turn you orange.. and its not oily ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best self tanner I could find so far, not orangy, streakfree etc... *by L***W on June 4, 2010* I really really love this self tanner.

STOP Going to Tanning Beds!! *by K***N on May 14, 2014* I was really squeamish to try inexpensive self-tanning products. I've only ever used Clarins, which is one of the best in the industry, but who really wants to pay $50-60 for a few ounces of self-tanner? Now that I'm in grad school I have to pinch pennies, so Clarins is not an option. The Banana Boat Deep Dark Color on most websites always had really high reviews so I thought I'd give it a try. Very quick fulfillment from the seller through Prime - I ordered this on a Friday afternoon and it arrived on my door Tuesday morning. I used it yesterday on my legs and within 4 hours my legs had an even, dark, natural-looking tan! I could totally tell the difference because I didn't do my lower ankles or feet (since I hadn't exfoliated) and it looked like I had a sock line! I didn't think the first application would give so much color, but it did! It does have that weird self-tanner smell but it's not too powerful. This morning I shaved my legs and thought the tanner would come off completely. It didn't. You could see some of it coming off the razor but after my shower my legs just looked a little lighter. I was relieved to find the tan was still visible and still even, no razor lines. Looks like this should be a low-maintenance way too keep my legs looking sun kissed all summer! Having glowing legs really boosted my mood - the tan sort of evens out your skin and keeps your leg veins from being visible. Give your skin this gift and STOP ruining your skin in tanning beds, ladies! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/2425123-banana-boat-summer-color-self-tanning-lotion-6oz-self-tanner](https://www.desertcart.us/products/2425123-banana-boat-summer-color-self-tanning-lotion-6oz-self-tanner) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
