Putting the Record Straight: So Damn Tanned vs 2 Damn Dark

Last fact-checked: 4 August 2026

 

A competitor recently published a comparison titled “So Damn Tanned vs 2 Damn Dark Nasal Tanning Spray”.

We welcome genuine competition. Customers should compare products, prices, delivery options and reviews before deciding where to spend their money. However, a useful comparison must be accurate, complete and supported by evidence.

The article in question is published by 2 Damn Dark, so it is not an independent review. This response is published by So Damn Tanned, so we are not pretending to be independent either.

What we can do is put the claims side by side, link to the relevant information and allow customers to make their own decision.

So Damn Tanned vs 2 Damn Dark: The Facts at a Glance

These points can be checked through our tanning spray collection, Intense! XL product page and Trustpilot profile.

Does So Damn Tanned Sell a Triple-Strength Tanning Spray?

Yes.

The most significant error in the comparison is the claim that So Damn Tanned does not list a triple-strength tier.

Our Intense! XL Max Strength Tanning Spray is clearly described as being formulated at three times the strength of Bronzed! Tanning Spray. It sits above Extreme! as the strongest spray in the So Damn Tanned range.

We also sell a product explicitly titled 5x Intense Triple Strength Tanning Sprays.

The statement that “XL” only refers to bottle size and not formulation strength is therefore incorrect based on the information currently published on our website.

Can One Brand Prove It Is Stronger Using “30mg” Alone?

The competing article claims its 30mg spray is stronger than anything sold by So Damn Tanned.

However, a headline number does not provide a complete like-for-like comparison. A responsible strength comparison would need to consider:

• The precise ingredient being measured
• The concentration and total bottle volume
• The amount delivered per spray
• The number of sprays per bottle
• Independent testing or supporting documentation
• Whether both brands are measuring the same thing in the same way

The 2 Damn Dark product page describes a 30mg product in a 7ml bottle containing approximately 50 sprays. So Damn Tanned describes Intense! XL relative to the rest of its own range, specifically as three times the strength of Bronzed!.

Those are different measurements. Without comparable supporting evidence, declaring one product stronger than the other is a marketing conclusion, not an independently established fact.

Does Every So Damn Tanned Spray Cost £49.99?

No.

Presenting £49.99 as the price of a So Damn Tanned bottle gives customers an incomplete picture of our range.

At the time of writing, our website lists:

• Bronzed! Tanning Spray at £20
• Extreme! Tanning Spray at £30
• Intense! Tanning Spray at £50
• Multi-bottle bundles and spray-and-dropper combinations
• Subscription savings on eligible products

Prices and promotions can change, so customers should check our current tanning spray collection before ordering.

A fair price comparison should also consider the selected strength, bottle size, bundle quantity, delivery charge and any available subscription or promotional savings. Comparing one competitor’s lowest-priced bottle against another brand’s strongest product is not necessarily a like-for-like comparison.

How Quickly Does So Damn Tanned Dispatch Orders?

Our product pages state that we generally aim to dispatch orders within two to five days.

However, that is not the full delivery information.

Orders being sent with Royal Mail Tracked 24 aim to be dispatched on the same day when placed before 2pm.

2 Damn Dark advertises a later same-day cutoff of 3pm on weekdays. That is a genuine difference and customers who order later in the day may value it. We have no problem acknowledging that.

The accurate comparison is:

• So Damn Tanned has a general dispatch aim of two to five days.
• Eligible Royal Mail Tracked 24 orders placed before 2pm aim for same-day dispatch.
• 2 Damn Dark advertises same-day weekday dispatch before 3pm.
• Dispatch is not the same as guaranteed delivery, and carrier delays can affect both companies.

Does So Damn Tanned Provide Storage Guidance?

Yes.

The competing comparison says storage guidance was not found on the So Damn Tanned website. Our product information tells customers to store tanning sprays in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

That guidance appears alongside important usage information, including:

• For adult use only
• Keep out of reach of children
• Use only as directed
• Do not exceed the recommended use
• Avoid contact with the eyes
• Do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding
• Discontinue use if irritation or discomfort occurs

Customers should always follow the instructions supplied with their particular product. They should contact us if anything about storage or use is unclear.

What Is So Damn Tanned’s Current Trustpilot Rating?

The comparison describes So Damn Tanned as having approximately 70 reviews and a four-star rating.

At the time this article was fact-checked, our Trustpilot profile showed:

• A 4.5 out of 5 TrustScore
• 76 total reviews
• 89% of reviews rated five stars
• 100% of negative reviews answered

Trustpilot ratings change as new reviews are submitted, so any comparison should include the date on which the figures were checked.

We do not claim that every customer has the same experience. Individual results can vary, and legitimate critical reviews should not be ignored. However, selecting one negative review while reducing the overall rating to “4 stars” does not give readers the fullest current picture.

Customers can also read product-specific feedback on our So Damn Tanned reviews page.

Does So Damn Tanned Offer Wholesale Tanning Products?

Yes.

Our website states that wholesale pricing is available to tanning stores and resellers.

Businesses interested in stocking So Damn Tanned products can contact our team to discuss wholesale options. Describing wholesale availability as “check site” suggests that the information is uncertain when it is already published within our tanning spray category.

Which Brand Should Customers Choose?

We are naturally proud of So Damn Tanned, but the final decision belongs to the customer.

When comparing So Damn Tanned and 2 Damn Dark, consider:

• The specific product strength you want
• Whether the comparison is genuinely like for like
• Bottle size and estimated number of uses
• Current price rather than an outdated figure
• Delivery service and order cutoff time
• Storage and usage instructions
• Independent customer feedback
• The brand’s wider product range
• Customer service and aftercare
• Whether supporting evidence is provided for comparative claims

So Damn Tanned offers three clearly positioned spray strengths, bundle options, wholesale availability, an established public review history and a broader collection of tanning sprays, lotions, accelerators, drops and supporting products.

A Necessary Note About Tanning and UV Exposure

No So Damn Tanned spray contains SPF, and no tanning product makes UV exposure risk-free.

Customers should use appropriate sun protection and never exceed the directions provided by a sunbed operator or equipment manufacturer. UK health guidance states that UV exposure from sunbeds can cause sunburn and increase the risk of skin cancer. The UK Health Security Agency discourages cosmetic sunbed use.

You can read the current government sunbed safety advice.

We would rather include clear safety information than imply that a stronger tanning product makes UV exposure safe.

Putting the Record Straight
