What does the "clear" option in tanning solutions refer to?

The "clear" option in tanning solutions typically refers to a tanning product that is formulated without traditional bronzing agents, which means it does not provide immediate color upon application. Instead, it is a self-tanner that develops color over time, allowing the user to apply the product without the worry of transferring or staining clothing or linens, as there is no immediate bronzer present. This option is particularly popular for users who prefer subtle and natural-looking results or those who want some control over the final color intensity by allowing it to develop gradually. This contrasts with bronzers that offer instant color, as the clear option builds a tan over several hours or days, giving a more tailored outcome based on personal preferences and skin reaction.
