The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
This is a balm style tanning accelerator from The Fox Tan, a brand known for its rapid tanning liquids and mists. The label describes it as accelerating natural tanning and moisturizing the skin, with a vegan and cruelty free formula, in a Chocolate or Brownie scent.
It comes in a 5.07 fluid ounce, 150 milliliter tube priced at 27.99 dollars, similar in size and price to the brand's other rapid tanning products. Because it is a balm rather than an oil or lotion, the texture and application will feel different from the Rapid Banana Whip or other Fox Tan formats.
The rating sits at 4.0 stars, but only from 31 reviews so far, which is a small sample compared to the brand's more established products. That makes it worth watching for more feedback before treating the star rating as a settled verdict.
Pros
- Vegan and cruelty free formula
- Balm texture is a different option from oils and lotions in the same line
- Moisturizing claim alongside the tanning accelerator function
- Distinctive Chocolate or Brownie scent for fans of dessert style fragrances
Cons
- Only 31 reviews so far, a small sample to judge consistency by
- 4.0 star average trails some of the brand's better established products
- Scent will not suit anyone who prefers a neutral or tropical fragrance
Performance notes
As an accelerator rather than a self tanner with DHA, this balm is meant to be applied before sun or tanning bed exposure to help support your own tan development, not to add color by itself. The balm format may sit differently on skin than the brand's liquid or oil based accelerators, so people who liked those textures should expect an adjustment period.
What buyers say
A 4.0 star average is respectable, but with only 31 ratings on record, the sample is too small to draw firm conclusions about how consistently this specific balm performs compared to the brand's larger selling accelerators.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as The Fox Tan's other rapid tanning products?
It shares the brand's rapid tanning accelerator positioning, but it comes in a balm format with a Chocolate or Brownie scent, which is different from the liquid Rapid Tanning Elixir or the mousse style Rapid Banana Whip.
Will it show color without sun or a tanning bed?
No, it is an accelerator, not a self tanner with DHA, so any color change depends on your own UV exposure during a tanning session.
Is it vegan?
Yes, the label lists it as vegan, along with a cruelty free claim.
