Gives a nice golden glow, and smells yummy. I don't actually have the one with SPF 15, though, but I couldn't find another entry for Alba Sunless Tan.

First of all, there are two different types of Alba Botanica sunless tanning lotions. There's one that has SPF 15 and one that doesn't. The one with SPF 15 is definitely my favorite self tanner. My...

This is way better than Jergens. Smell is not as hideous and it gives a better color. Here's a tip: FIRST PUT ON MOISTURIZER (something very emollient is best). This will reduce splotchy patches,...

The lady at the natural food store where I bought this said it was fabulous. Unfortunately I can't completely agree. It did well on my arms, but showed up really splotchy on my legs. I prefer...

This is an excellent sunless tanner. It gives a medium golden tan. It is very moisturizing & smells wonderful, too. It has decent lasting power as well. I have tried a gazillion self-tanners (au...

Overall a good self tanner. The color was very natural on my medium skintone. I put it on before my vacation in Spain so I wouldn't look too pale, and it lasted the whole week (after 2...

After reading all these great comments, I can't wait to try it! I was at a local discount store (Marshall's) and saw 3 tubes of this on the shelf. I was interested in trying it after I saw all the...

I love the pineapple smell of this self-tanner, and that is has spf 15 (even if there is very little UVA blocker - only .5% avobenzone), but I won't repurchase. I think I am so used to the color I...

PROS: Love the mango-like smell, easy to apply, non-streaking, non-drying, cute packaging, decent price, animal-friendly. CONS: no color guide, kind of greasy (takes a while to dry), and it's...

I didn't like this product so much, i guess its because i prefer foam or gel. my experience with lotion is rather negative...streaky and uneven. i did like the color, but if you put too much on it...

Yes, this stuff really rocks, especially for PPPs like me. I think you could make it darker just by applying a couple days in a row. So many people are fooled by this stuff. The ONLY drawback,...

This is a good product but I can't say I'll purchase it again. It's a little to light for me but I would definitely reccomend to some PPP's who want a fool-proof self-tanner that is not orange in...

This did give my pale skin a natural color. But, it was slightly too yellow, not quite as tan as Banana Boat's medium/light, and a little more expensive. But not a bad choice at all.

This is a very natural looking self tanner and didn't show up as dark on me as some other tanners I've tried (I'm pretty fair). The smell is similar to other self tanners (DHAish) but isn't a...
