pro tan's INCREDIBLY BLACK? WHO has used it, what do u think? - tanTALK

kmfetty · 02-18-2010, 03:54 PM

its w/o DHA; so you shouldn't have any streaks or finger stains...

it also has a form of Tyrosine; that helps 2produce melanin.. THATS GOOD!

meh just because it says black don't expect it to work like "Black" from DS
there were better cheap lotions until Fiji tanked. from that line I like the new hemp, works the same smells better.
come to think of it we did sell a bunch because it said black

We use it and really like it. Can't beat the price, no streaking good smell. I like the fact that it comes in jug form to sell for samples as well.

Can you use it on a fair skin person as well? Do you spray it before they go on stage?

Turbo Girl · 03-11-2010, 10:41 PM

@ Suzie: No, it's an actual tanning lotion. Not spray solution.

@ Suzie,

It's an actual tanning lotion, not spray tan.

For the price, not too bad!

Body builders use another Pro Tan product.

Pro Tan's Incredibly Black is a good seller at our salon mainly because of it's price. It is not expensive sells very well, especially for our clients who either do NOT want to purchase a lotion or even use a lotion, but I explain to them that using a tanning lotion is like an investment. It is an investment in your tan and an investment in your skin.

Indoor tanning lotions help you get a nice tan faster while moisturizing your skin, and skin that is moisturized tans very well. DRY SKIN on the other hand actually DEFLECTS 40% of UV light, so by not using a lotion you are kind of wasting your time and money.

Pro Tan's Incredibly Black does NOT have DHA in it ( sunless tanning ingredient ) but it does have " Erythrulose " and that is similar to what DHA does but not as " strong". The other bronzers in it are purely cosmetic, walnut shell extract and caramel, which wash off when you shower but the erythrulose will stay on like DHA, but you should wait at least 4 hours before bathing or
exercising ( sweating ) otherwise the erythrulose wouldn't have enough time to " set " in the skin.

It does have accelerators in it, Tyrosine and Riboflavin and the Riboflavin, which is actually Vitamin B2, helps tyrosine accelerate the tanning process .
On a similar subject, there are several forms of UNIPERTAN, but basically it is a tanning accelerator which is comprised of 3 ingredients, Tyrosine, Riboflavin and Collagen or Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein.

It is a good lotion, you get nice color from it, BUT it does have ATO
( After Tan odor ), other than that, like I said it sells well and it is a good lotion for the price.

I hope this helps.
Thanks for reading!

Have a great weekend !

Ricky :)

I had a customer that is a body builder ask me if we could order that stuff. It's not in our cataloge, where could we get it from? I have a booklet that has all of protan/performance brand's products in it but not the stuff he was talking about.

@ RRM

The Protan product you're looking for is called Overnight Competition Color and it's on page 119 of the 2010 Four Seasons Catalogue. Hoe this helps!
