Why Oils Matter in Tanning Products – What Really Builds a Deep, Lasting Tan
Share
Fast color matters — but how your skin behaves during tanning matters even more. The difference between better tanning results that look rich and even for days and ones that fade quickly often comes down to the oils used in the formula.
In modern tanning products, oils are not fillers. They control hydration, skin smoothness, and how evenly UV light interacts with the skin — directly influencing the depth and durability of the tan.
Below, we break down how oils work in four Onyx Tan products — based strictly on their real ingredient lists.
How Oils Support Better Tanning Results
Well-chosen oils help tanning products perform on multiple levels.
They smooth the skin surface, allowing UV light to distribute more evenly. This limits moisture loss, preventing dry patches and uneven fading. They support skin comfort, especially during frequent tanning sessions. And they help the tan develop more consistently and last longer.
That’s why oil selection matters just as much as bronzers or accelerators.
La Playa Dry Tanning Oil – Lightweight Oils for Fast, Even Color
La Playa Dry Tanning Oil helps accelerate tanning while keeping the skin comfortable and non-greasy.
Its oil profile focuses on fast absorption and even skin coverage, making it ideal for sun exposure.
Oils used in the formula
- Macadamia Seed Oil absorbs quickly and smooths the skin, while also helping UV light reflect evenly.
- Argan Oil supports skin elasticity and reduces moisture loss during tanning.
- Carrot Seed Oil is naturally rich in carotenoids, supporting faster and deeper color development.
Together, these oils help the skin tan faster without heavy residue, while maintaining a smooth, radiant finish.

Why Oil Selection Makes a Visible Difference
In Onyx Tan formulas, oils are chosen for function — not marketing claims.
They help stabilize hydration, improve tanning consistency, reduce uneven fading, and support skin comfort during and after tanning.
If you want a tan that looks better and lasts longer, the oils inside your tanning product matter more than you think.
