As another reviewer stated, this is not the same stuff you receive directly from Maui Babe. I originally ordered a bottle from their website and fell in love with the stuff. I was headed to the beach in 3 days so needed something capable of being overnighted. MauiBabe ships via USPS so this wasn't fast enough for me. I turned to Amazon and was shocked by the price difference ($22 for 1 8oz bottle on Maui Babes site, $18 for 2 8oz bottles here). I ordered the stuff off here and immediately noticed the difference. The labeling is the same, but the product in the bottle is definitely not. The stuff mailed to me from Amazon was way darker and smelled disgusting (the original stuff smells sweet). This stuff had a chemical smell to it. I emailed Amazon questioning why the discrepancy and they just issued me a refund. I didn't ask for one I was just wondering.

There is no way this is the same stuff you get directly from the company. This stuff stains your skin (looks like a self tanner) while the other stuff doesn't. The REAL product is amazing, but whatever they are selling here is not. Do NOT order it from SellThrifty, or any company not Maui Babe Inc. The product is not authentic.

I do credit Amazon for refunding me, however they shouldn't sell impostor products on here.

I found out about Maui Babe during a recent vacation to Hawaii. Initially I thought it was very expensive, but after using it, I changed my mind. A little goes a long way, it smells wonderful, moisturizes great, and this was the first trip that I didn't burn at all---just got a great tan. I used Maui Babe to moisturize my skin during the day and to help me tan instead of burn, and then one last time after a shower at night, even though I wouldn't be going into the sun again, because it just feels so good.

Maui Babe has to be shaken up to disperse all of the different ingredients. Then when it comes out it immediately starts to sort of "melt" or get liquidy (less solid) right in your hand. It contains light mineral oil, kukui nut oil, vitamins E, C & A, Kona coffee plant extract, aloe, and potassium iodide. The dominant smell is coffee and nut butter---really wonderful smell for men or women. All ingredients are Hawaiian and the lotion is made in Wailuku, Maui.

The label on the back says that it is the aloe that helps prevent burning, and of course, it soothes the skin after being in the sun, too. The label says that it is "water resistant" (because of the oil, I'm guessing). The label also says that it can be used with all sunscreens and as a "tan accelerant".

You have to be careful to really rub in it well if you put on clothes after applying, because Maui Babe is very slightly brown in color when it gets on your skin---so slightly that it's really not noticeable (unlike a stain or self-tanner)---but enough so that it will get on your clothes. So just rub it in very well, and you'll have no problems at all.

I love it and I will buy it again and again. Highly recommended.

The product I received was unfortunately not of the same quality as the lovely Maui Babe lotion purchased on the islands. I'm not sure why there is a difference, the labeling appears to be the same, but it is definitely not the same product I bought in Hawaii. I was disappointed.

This is without a doubt THE BEST tanning lotion I've ever used.You tan FAST and you tan DARK.I cannot begin to tell you how well this works.

As a matter of fact ,I think I'll reorder while I'm here.....

Great Stuff!!

This is by far the best Suntan lotion I have ever used. I am a red head, and I turn red or if I use tanner I turn orange. With Maui Babe I do get brown. It must be the Kona coffee. I really don't care what it is that makes it work...IT JUST WORKS....

This lotion is exactly as promised. It is the best outdoor lotion I have ever used. Amazing results !

Great tanning lotion, my friend who lives in Hawaii introduced this to me and i wont use anything else, worth the extra cost, you won't be disappointed.

I love this stuff - I just never seem to buy enough when I am in Hawaii. It is great for outdoors and tanning beds!!

This stuff is great. I read the reviews of other fair skinned people liking this product, and decided to buy a trial bottle. I waited until it arrived and then until a day when the sun was out and I hd some free time. I put it on and headed upstairs for some tanning on my roof.

This stuff works. I don't know if it is the kukui nut oil that slowly browns on your skin or the ground Kona coffee beans that do it, but something about this formula works. It also tingles on your skin, possibly from the coffee beans as well, so you feel slightly energized.

It does have a faint coffee smell and despite being labled a lotion -- it contains some mineral oil -- will feel more like an oil once it warms up in the sun.

I liked it so much the first day (noticable difference in skin tone after just 3 hours) that I came back and ordered another 2 bottles. I am almost through the second one now and am a good deal darker. So much so, that people that meet me now, don't think I have fair skin.

I do all my tanning in the sun, but if you want to use the tanning beds, I would suggest you use the version of Maui Babe that is designed for that. The regular version leaves too much of a mess to clean up afterwards.

I would recommend this product to all skin types, but be sure to lay down a coat of SPF below the Maui Babe, since it doesn't contain any. It does have aloe, which helps if you do burn slightly.
