Angry Black by Designer Skin

AG, Cal Tan, and Designer Skin's VP of Sales, Tracy, just called me and informed me that what I was told by my distributor was misinformation and I am VERY sorry for any confusion this post caused.

We stopped pushing it after the second "back ordered" issue. When someone came in to buy it we sold them 14 Karat instead. Nearly everyone we had using Black uses 14 Karat now. We have one bottle on the shelf that has been there for weeks now because we always steer people away from it when they ask.

It was our best seller a couple months ago....

Don't you find 14 Karat to have a horrible ATO? We tried stocking it early on but everyone that tried it hated the smell.

Once again total proof that tanners will buy the product you suggest regardless of price point or packaging.



So..... why sell anything that tanners can find on the internet?

I think it was the original batch of black bottles had no ingredients on the back. I have noticed on the last batch of bottles I recieved it does now.

Perhaps they still have lots of the first batch left?

One of our best sellers, even at $109 retail that we sell it for. Fantastic stuff.

The ingredients were all on the bottom below the sticker.

Black has been the number 1 DS product this year. The issue with the bottle was that they couldn't make them fast enough. It was like a 3 step process to make it. Bottles, glue, glitter, then clear coat.
