Tanning pills are marketed as a way to achieve a deep, long-lasting tan. Tanning pills are often used as an alternative to UV exposure, thereby avoiding skin damage. It also takes out the time and hassle of going to a tanning salon or tanning outside. Tanning pills are not FDA approved, but can be found through various websites and companies.
Many tanning pills are made from canthaxathin, a color additive often used in food to create a red, orange, or brownish color. Tanning pills made from canthaxathin work by overloading the body with this color additive, which is then deposited in the body in various places, including the skin.

Sounds interesting, I’d be concerned about the potential health risks though, considering it is not FDA approved.
