- Water resistant and moisturizing for outdoor tanning sessions
- Twin pack of 8 fluid ounce bottles at an affordable price
- 8 units bought in the last month shows strong recent demand

Performance notes
SPF 8 offers a modest level of measurable sun protection, less than a broad spectrum SPF 30 product but more coverage than some tanning oils in this roundup that carry no SPF at all. The oxybenzone free, octinoxate free formula addresses ingredient concerns some shoppers have with reef exposure and skin sensitivity, while the water resistant, antioxidant formula is built to hold up outdoors.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average across roughly 2,295 ratings and 8 units bought in the last month point to strong, active demand and consistent satisfaction, making this one of the more trusted picks in this self-tanner roundup.

Frequently asked questions
Is SPF 8 enough sun protection for a beach day?
SPF 8 offers only modest protection compared to broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher options. It can work for shorter outdoor stretches, but reapply often and consider a higher SPF for extended sun exposure.
Does this lotion contain oxybenzone?
No. It is labeled oxybenzone free, octinoxate free, dye free and PABA free, which appeals to shoppers who watch for those ingredients.
Is it a sunless self-tanner?
No. It is meant to be worn while you are out in the sun to help develop a tan, not a no-sun, DHA based sunless formula.
