Maui BabeTanning Salon Formula 8oz

Great color and consistency. It looks like a natural tan with no streaks. Best product

I like this product. It gets 5 stars because it does exactly what I need it to. It is natural which is very important to me, and it protects my skin from burning or turning "leathery" while also helping me get a much richer and more even tan. I don't like the tanning lotions or oils with added chemicals in them. This is not a self-tanner, though you probably will want to wipe your hands off after using it before touching light clothes and whatever else (it leaves a hint of brown color on your palms because the lotion itself is brown, but this washes off and doesn't stain skin or clothes). The product has a sweet smell, and smells a bit like coffee due to the coffee plant extract. Personally, I like the smell although it can be a bit strong when you first put the lotion on. This product is a bit runny, but the main ingredients are oils (Sunflower Oil, Safflower Oil, Kukui Nut Oil, Aloe Vera, Kona Coffee Plant Extract, Ati Oxidants, Vitamins A, C AND E, Potassium Iodide) so that's a bit of a given. Like with any lotion or oil, if you leave it in your hot car it will be more runny. You don't need to use a lot to get good coverage and the 8 oz. bottle will last you a good bit. I am only able to tan 2-3 times a week at most and tan in a "level 1 bed" but I have had great results and love my color (not orange and doesn't look fake). I don't burn easily and am able to achieve a fairly dark tan on my own in the sun, but have lighter Eastern European skin and do get pale if I don't spend any time in the sun or the tanning bed. This is not a miracle product and will not instantly make you brown. Building a base tan takes some time and getting a dark tan takes time. It's worth it to do it right. Your color will eventually plateau based on your skin type no matter what product or level tanning bed you use. If you have very fair skin, speak to a professional who would be able to recommend the best product to use and the best tanning bed/time for you.It is probably good to note that for me this item did not have a "safety seal" on it when it arrived. However, most lotions, face washer, shampoos, conditioners, etc. do NOT have safety seals when you buy them in store or online. Mine had a piece of tape over the cap, probably to prevent it from opening and leaking everywhere during transport. If yours arrives this way don't automatically take it as a sign that it's been tampered with. Look at the lotion and its consistency, how much is in the bottle - if it seems overfilled or too empty, smell it before you put it on, and if something seems off then contact the seller. My bottle was intact when it arrived and there was bubble wrap in the box to prevent damage to the bottle. It was also in a sealed ziploc-type bag. I've put it back in that bag after use because I tend to leave greasy hand prints on the bottle after application.Overall, this is a great product that I will purchase again. Happy with the product, seller, and packaging/shipping.

I absolutely LOVE Maui Babe. I’m a pale Irish/German gal and my skin doesn’t tan easily, but when I was living on Maui I discovered this brand and started using it and was tan within a week. Before that I had lived on the island for a year already and barely gotten tan, so I know it was the cream and not just the Hawaiian sunshine.I’m living in the northern part of the continental US now and wanting to get some color for summer. I was extremely excited when I discovered Maui Babe makes an indoor formula that I can use in the tanning bed!I ordered the indoor formula and a few days later I received the original instead of the indoor. Bummer! But hey, I love the original, so I’ll keep it and use it on beach days. So I ordered the indoor formula again.Unfortunately, a few days later, I received the original formula AGAIN. That’s twice ordering one thing and receiving the wrong product. Major bummer at this point, I really really want the indoor formula but at this point i obviously don’t think I can trust it. Gonna look elsewhere online to see if I can order it from somewhere else.

Seen this all over TikTok and I had to try! Love that I found it on Amazon, a site I trust. Went outside for 30 minutes- came in red! I cannot believe it only 30 minutes. It’s very easy to apply not greasy at all. Smells like coffee and I am in love! Will never use any other tanning lotion! I was extremely pale! And I have never been able to get a good color on my arms like this- especially after just 30 minutes

I haven't tried this yet, but I love the outdoor product. The bottle arrived unwrapped and half the product leaked all over the box. Pricey for only less than half a bottle.

It gives good color. It is very oily and reminds me of a baked good smell, which I’m not a fan of. If it could be offered in a lighter texture with a gentler smell, I would do it again.
