Who’s Behind This Site
Hi, I’m Cole!
Hey, I’m Cole and I’ve been obsessed with tanning for longer than I’d like to admit.
It started with the usual frustration: spending hours in the sun and getting mediocre results while other people seemed to tan effortlessly. I started digging into why (the science, the products, the routines) and realized most of the information online was either vague, recycled, or written by people who clearly hadn’t tested anything themselves.
That’s why I built Bronze Index. Not as an expert with credentials, but as someone who genuinely cares about this stuff and puts in the work to figure out what actually makes a difference.
How I Research and Test
Everything published on Bronze Index goes through the same process: I research the topic thoroughly (including the science behind it where relevant) and cross-reference multiple sources before writing. For product content, I focus on real-world performance: how a product actually behaves on skin, not just what the label promises.
I’m not a lab. I’m one person with a consistent testing routine and a low tolerance for hype. If something doesn’t hold up, I won’t recommend it.

A Note on Affiliate Links
Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. This helps keep Bronze Index running. That said, affiliate relationships never influence what I recommend. If a product isn’t worth it, I won’t link to it. My only goal is to help you find what actually works for you.
