Best Selling Indoor Tanning Lotion

The Best Selling Indoor Tanning Lotion

The tanning industry in the United States has grown by amazing leaps and incredible bounds in the past ten years and has created a secondary, niche market for indoor tanning lotion. The best selling indoor tanning lotion in salons across America right now is a brand known as Australian Gold, which offers several various indoor tanning lotion formulas. What makes Australian Gold the best selling indoor tanning lotion? The fact that it works, like their slogan says, “for the tan of your life and the life of your tan.” Tanning customers swear by Australian Gold indoor tanning lotion and there are several salons that won’t stock anything else because Australian Gold is all that they will buy. This certainly helps to increase Australian Gold’s sales as well, but the preference on the part of the customers was definitely already there.

There is another indoor tanning lotion brand that is steadily gaining in popularity and stands a fair chance of giving the Australian Gold juggernaut a run for its nicely bronzed money. This line of indoor tanning lotions is known as Aloha and, like Australian Gold, it offers a large subset of individual brands – all with a decidedly Hawaiian flavor, of course.

The two brands together definitely make up a big part of the indoor tanning lotion market, but Aloha does seem poised to knock Australian Gold indoor tanning lotion out of the top slot to become the best selling indoor tanning lotion itself. Whether this will happen remains to be seen, but signs are pointing to an all out retail war between the two brands.


Headed toward a respectable third place in the realm of the best selling indoor tanning lotions is a surprising entry from another Australian based company: Banana Boat. Banana Boat’s climb up the sales ladder is surprising because, while Australian Gold and Aloha are specialty brands that can usually be obtained only at tanning salons or online, Banana Boat offers only a few sunless tanning products and is not sold in tanning salons at all, but in drug stores like Save-On, Rite Aid, and Walgreen’s and discount stores like Target and Wal-Mart.

One thing Banana Boat definitely has going for them is their price. As specialty items sold only in pricey salons, Aloha and Australian Gold can be quite expensive for a bottle of indoor tanning lotion while Banana Boat products sell for what most people would expect to pay for a tanning lotion. Banana Boat is not going to topple either of the indoor tanning giants anytime soon, but they hold their own in a respectable third place.

The indoor tanning industry is in a constant state of flux in this country and that’s good for a lot of companies’ business. Competition between the manufacturers is good for the customer as well. Because of these factors it is not impossible to consider that before long there will be a new best selling indoor tanning lotion in the United States.
