Subjectivity
I dont know about the facts of this article, but it seems to be written very subjectively. My salespitch sense is tingling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.54.202.102 (talk) 13:02, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The article takes a skeptical attitude toward "tingle", stating it is more theory than proof, doesn't advocate anything, and explains all the "marketing" terms without bias. No naming brands, instead focusing on the common chemicals found in them, such as melanin, hempseed oil, etc. and even explains why some ingredients (mineral oil or "baby oil") isn't used.  The article is about a class of products and their general use, not sure what you think it is "selling".    P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 13:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

This article IS subjective IMO because it unfairly advocates the use of indoor tanning lotion by making claims about the benefits of using indoor tanning lotion without offering any evidence to suggest that these benefits are real. A quick check of the first citation reveals no mention of the information attributed to that source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.79.139 (talk) 16:31, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

I agree the content seems atypical of the usual Wikipedia nature of "these easily verifiable facts [link1,2,3] show that x,y,z". After reading the article, I still don't know why tanning lotion is any better than snake oil. With the exception of the first source...EXCEPT that one source itself reads very salesy - literally bragging about the increase in lotion sales. Not a neutral / unbiased source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dustball (talk • contribs) 01:48, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Needlessness of comment?
In the first sentence somebody wrote "like tanning oil, indoor tanning lotion is..." The problem is that indoor tanning lotion IS tanning oil in some circumstances, so it seems unnecessary to state it. Yes? No? --Coching (talk) 09:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I dont think the statemant is true any way, it doesn't amplify the suns rays.69.226.106.122 (talk) 04:40, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Against merge or delete
Wouldn't make sense to merge with Sunless tanning since they are two completely different things. Indoor tanning lotion is designed to be used with an ultraviolet device (sun, tanning bed/booth/other device), sunless tanning products are designed specifically to avoid all ultraviolet, from either devices or the natural sun. People who use one, do not use the other. (ie: either they avoid all UV, or they embrace it) They are as different as a fish and a bicycle. Dennis Brown (talk) 16:03, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Sunless is not the same as UV-free, and both this article and Sunless tanning discuss lotions for use with UV and lotions for use without UV, making this article redundant. Also, how can an indoor tanning lotion be designed for use with the sun? -- 202.124.72.74 (talk) 02:37, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * There are no sources that talk about this subject. It should either be merged or deleted. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:F05D:49AD:7B3C:978C (talk) 09:37, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Why does only indoor tanning lotion get an article?
Tanning lotion redirects here, but clearly indoor tanning lotion is a subset of tanning lotion, and quite probably a derivative of the original outdoor tanning lotion (which does not appear to have an article). This doesn't make sense. It would be like if the Sun tanning article were just a redirect to Indoor tanning. --Jtle515 (talk) 08:18, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
