Overview
Onyx Suncolada is positioned as a triple bronzing lotion, meaning it is formulated for a stronger color deposit than a single strength bronzer, with a listed four hour cure time before rinsing off. The label pairs this with an anti aging claim alongside its moisturizing and radiant tan benefits.
It is scented Pinacolada, a tropical pina colada style fragrance, and comes in an 8.5 fluid ounce bottle priced at 29.95 dollars. As with the other Onyx lotions here, it is paraben, SLES and SLS free, with cruelty free, dermatologist tested and vegan claims.
With 513 ratings and a 4.4 star average, it has one of the stronger combinations of review volume and rating among the Onyx lotions covered in this batch.

Performance notes
A four hour cure time and triple bronzing description suggest this lotion is meant to sit on the skin for a longer stretch before rinsing, which typically produces a deeper color than lighter, single strength bronzers. The anti aging claim points to added skin conditioning ingredients in the mix, on top of the core bronzing and moisturizing function.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 513 ratings is a strong result for this category, suggesting the triple bronzing formula and four hour cure time work as intended for most buyers.
