Model being sprayed with Dark Professional Solution using Norvell Z3000

The professional tanning formula features warm brown bronzers that create a classic bronze finish while the anti-orange complex actively counters unwanted orange undertones that can appear during development. This means clients get natural-looking color that develops evenly over 18-24 hours.

Norvell's Dark tanning solution works efficiently in airbrush and HVLP systems, requiring just 2-2.5 oz per application. DHA activates within 2-4 hours, with full results visible by the next day. Clients can expect their tan to last 5-7 days with proper aftercare. The cosmetic bronzer provides immediate color gratification, so clients leave your salon with visible results before the DHA fully develops.

Formulated with Ordenone®, this spray tan solution addresses one of the biggest complaints in spray tanning by neutralizing the typical DHA odor. The raspberry almond scent makes the application experience more pleasant for both technician and client. Natural Color Complex™ ingredients including tomato and cranberry extracts, aloe, and vitamins C and E provide anti-aging benefits while helping to tighten, firm, smooth, and hydrate skin during the tanning process.

For best results, maintain proper spray distance (6-8 inches for body, 12 inches for face, hands, and feet) and avoid oversaturating the skin. Clean your equipment thoroughly after each use to maintain consistent performance. Unused solution can be stored in an airtight container and reused within 24 hours, reducing waste in busy salon environments.

Q&A

How long should you wait before you rinse after a spray tan with this solution
For this product, Dark, and also the Double Dark the client would wait at least 8 hours before the warm water rinse. The Dark Rapid can do a warm water rinse after: 1 hour for Light Bronze, 2 hours for Medium Bronze, 3 hours or more for Darkest Bronze.
The box ready no getting wet for 24 hours. So does that mean this is no longer like the old solution where you can shower off in 8 hours?
Hi Stephanie, It is the same where you can rinse at 8 hours but we recommend you avoid harsh soaps and similar products for 24 hours. Advise Client: Not to bathe, shower, or sweat for at least 8-hours after application. To avoid chlorinated pools for 18-hours.
