Overview
Onyx's Black Caviar lotion pairs a hydrating base with an added black bronzer, marketed for a deep, fast looking dark tan on tanning bed sessions. Unlike the bronzer free Onyx Vibe formula, this one is built for buyers who want to see color show up right away.
It's priced the same as the Vibe lotion at $29.95 for 6.76 fluid ounces, though the facts available here don't include the same detailed ingredient breakdown. Since it does include bronzer, expect some color transfer onto light colored fabric until it's fully absorbed.
A 4.2 star average from 591 ratings is a solid, if not standout, result, and it's one of the only products in this set with recent purchase activity noted, with 6 units bought in the past month.
Pros
- Built-in black bronzer for immediate color
- Marketed as hydrating alongside the bronzer
- Part of the established Onyx tanning bed lineup
- Recent purchase activity noted on the listing
Cons
- No detailed ingredient specs listed beyond the product description
- Rating sits at the lower end of the group reviewed here
- Bronzer formulas can transfer onto sheets or light clothing before they fully set
Performance notes
The facts here are limited beyond the product name itself, which describes a hydrating base combined with a black bronzer meant to deliver a fast, dark visual result for tanning bed sessions. Because it contains added bronzer, expect some color transfer onto light fabric right after application until it fully absorbs.
What buyers say
A 4.2 average from 591 ratings, combined with 6 units bought in the past month, is a modest but real signal that people are still actively buying and using it.

Frequently asked questions
Will the black bronzer stain my sheets or clothes?
Bronzer based lotions like this one can transfer some color onto light fabric right after application, so it's smart to let it fully absorb and avoid light colored sheets until it does.
How is this different from the Onyx Vibe lotion?
This one includes a black bronzer for instant color, while the Onyx Vibe formula is bronzer free and relies on your skin's own tanning response over time.
Is it meant for tanning beds only?
It's marketed as an indoor tanning bed lotion, so that's its primary intended use based on the listing.
