Power Tan has three Non-Stop Black lotions whose names can be confusing: Hybrid Accelerator, Hybrid Collagen and Hybrid Tingle Gelée. They are separate formulas, and only one is specifically designed to produce an intense warming tingle sensation. Here is how to compare the exact products before you buy.
Hybrid Accelerator is a DHA-free, bronzer-free, non-tingle option. Hybrid Collagen is a separate DHA-free skincare-focused accelerator. Tingle Gelée is the warming, DHA-free choice. All three are listed in 250ml bottles and 20ml sachets.
Non-Stop Black formula comparison table

| Hybrid Accelerator | Non-tingle DHA-free accelerator | No | 250ml / 20ml |
| Hybrid Collagen | DHA-free, collagen-focused accelerator | No | 250ml / 20ml |
| Hybrid Tingle Gelée | Warm-action DHA-free gelée | Yes | 250ml / 20ml |
What the real original packs look like
These are unmodified genuine product photographs from our Shopify listings, showing the precise manufacturer packaging.
Hybrid Accelerator: the non-tingle formula
The original Hybrid Accelerator is a bronzer-free product marketed around the Algotan-P conditioning complex and a non-tingle skin feel. A lotion without a tingle effect is not necessarily stronger or weaker in any meaningful health sense; compare ingredients, fragrance and any sensitivities instead. View the full-size and sachet variants.
Hybrid Collagen: the skincare-focused option
Hybrid Collagen is a separate product positioned for customers comparing conditioning ingredients. It remains an accelerator, not a DHA cosmetic bronzer. Product names such as collagen do not demonstrate clinically proven anti-ageing effects. Read the current manufacturer packaging and Hybrid Collagen product details.
Hybrid Tingle Gelée: warmth is the distinguishing factor
Hybrid Tingle Gelée is specifically sold as a warming lotion. Tingle cosmetics can create temporary warmth, flushing or prickling and may be unsuitable for sensitive or damaged skin. Do not mistake redness for a guaranteed darker tan or a safe exposure. Read the individual Tingle Gelée precautions and our tingle guide.
250ml bottle versus 20ml sachet: checking value
The sizes below come from our actual Shopify variants, not a generic retailer image. Bottle and sachet variants are separately priced. Selecting a bottle does not include sachets merely because a photograph shows both formats.
One 250ml bottle contains 12.5 times the volume of a single 20ml sachet. To calculate value, divide the selling price by 250 or 20 as applicable. This allows fair comparison even when promotions change. Read our UK sachet versus bottle guide.
Frequently asked questions
Does Hybrid Tingle Gelée contain DHA bronzer?
The product is marketed as a DHA-free gelée with a separate warming effect. Check the product's original ingredient label if avoiding specific cosmetic ingredients.
Are Collagen and Hybrid Accelerator the same lotion?
No. They are distinct Power Tan formulas under the Non-Stop Black name.
Do all three offer sachets?
Yes, each listing currently offers one 20ml sachet as a separate option to its 250ml bottle.
A tanning lotion without labelled SPF does not protect skin against ultraviolet damage. A tingle sensation or cosmetic bronze colour is not evidence of safer tanning. For reliable guidance, see the NHS advice on sunbeds and UV safety.
