Skin Type & Tone Suitability

Skin Type:
Recommended for medium, olive and deeper skin types, clients who tan naturally with ease and experienced spray-tan clients seeking a deeper result.

Due to its 15% DHA concentration, this is not normally the first choice for very fair skin or clients who are new to spray tanning. A lower DHA percentage or more corrective colour base may be more appropriate following consultation.

Skin Tone:
Best suited to clients who want a deep, traditional chocolate-brown bronze.

The rich brown guide colour creates immediate depth during application, while the developed tan produces a luxurious, natural-looking finish without excessive orange tones.

Why This Matters

• The deepest DHA concentration within the Argan range

• Creates a rich result without requiring excessive application

• Ideal for clients who tan easily or regularly choose a dark tan

• Rapid development provides flexibility and convenience

• Chocolate base produces a classic, luxurious bronze

• Helps technicians achieve depth using one controlled, even coat

Product Description

Black Magic Argan Tan 15% is a premium professional rapid tanning solution featuring the highest DHA concentration within the Argan range.

Created for medium, olive and deeper skin tones, its rich chocolate base develops into a deep, balanced bronze while maintaining a natural-looking finish.

Enhanced guide bronzers provide immediate colour during application, helping professional technicians achieve smooth and even coverage. The formula dries quickly on the skin and leaves a comfortable, non-sticky finish without added fragrance.

Depending on the client’s skin, desired depth and professional consultation, the solution can be rinsed after 1–3 hours. The developed colour will continue to deepen over the following 12–24 hours.

Skin-Loving Ingredients

• Argan Oil – Rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids to help hydrate, soften and condition the skin

• Wattle Seed Extract – Antioxidant-rich botanical extract that supports a smooth, conditioned finish

• Aloe Vera – Helps soothe and hydrate the skin

• Witch Hazel – Helps refresh and condition the skin

• Glycerine – Supports moisture retention during development

The conditioning formula helps create a smooth, even result that sits beautifully on the skin and fades naturally.

Development Time

• 1 hour – A lighter developed result

• 2 hours – A deeper bronze

• Up to 3 hours – Maximum recommended depth

Development will vary according to the client’s natural skin depth, skin condition, preparation and individual response to DHA.

After the first rinse, the tan will continue to develop over the following 12–24 hours. The initial rinse should be completed using lukewarm water only.

Results can last approximately 7–10 days, depending on skin preparation, application and aftercare.
