Self Tanner Manufacturing Options

Custom & Private Label Self Tanner Manufacturing

Self-tanning products can be developed in different formats with distinct textures, ingredient systems, and product positioning.

Medpak Solutions currently develops tanning lotions, tanning drops, and self-tanning mousses for brands looking to create a new product or move an established formula to a new manufacturing partner.

Existing Product

Manufacture Your Existing Self Tanner Formula

Already have an established tanning product?

Brands can discuss their existing formula, specifications, ingredients, samples, benchmarks, and production requirements with the Medpak team.

The appropriate manufacturing approach will depend on the information available for the current product.

Manufacturer Transfer

Switching Self Tanner Manufacturers

If your product is currently manufactured elsewhere, Medpak's cosmetic technology transfer service may be appropriate.

The process can involve reviewing available product information and manufacturing requirements to determine the path toward transitioning production.

Self Tanner Product Formats

Self Tanner Formulations for Your Product Line

Medpak's current tanning portfolio includes three clearly defined product formats: self-tanning lotion, tanning drops, and self-tanning mousse.

Each format can be approached as a distinct product concept with its own formulation, sensory, and packaging requirements.

Lotion Format

Self-Tanning Lotion

Medpak currently offers a self-tanning lotion formulation direction for brands developing a creamier topical tanning product.

Ingredients currently featured:
Aloe Vera Panthenol Peptides Olive Oil Argan Oil Yeast Extract Cupric Sulfate Zinc Sulfate Banana Fruit Extract

The final texture, tanning system, and supporting ingredients should be determined through the complete formulation.

Drop Format

Tanning Drops

For brands seeking a more concentrated or drop-format product, Medpak currently develops tanning drops.

Ingredients currently featured:
Hyaluronic Acid Sodium PCA Panthenol Aloe Vera

The final consistency, concentration, and packaging requirements should be developed together for the individual product.

Mousse Format

Self-Tanning Mousse

Medpak also develops self-tanning mousse formulations for brands seeking a lighter-texture tanning format.

Ingredients currently featured:
Vitamin C Hyaluronic Acid Aloe Vera

The finished mousse texture and dispensing requirements should be considered together during product development.

DHA-Based Self Tanner Concepts

Medpak's current self-tanner content identifies dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the main ingredient used in most self-tanning products and specifically notes its use in self-tanning lotions. Brands developing a DHA-based product can discuss the tanning system, supporting ingredients, and intended product format as part of the formulation brief.

Organic Self Tanner Directions

Medpak's organic formulation portfolio specifically includes self-tanner as a product category. Brands with an organic product direction can explore Medpak's organic cosmetic formulations and discuss the requirements for their individual project.

Self Tanner Customization

Customize Your Private Label Self Tanner

A self-tanning product can be differentiated through format, ingredient direction, texture, skin feel, and overall product positioning. Customization should focus on characteristics that work together within the complete formula.

Product Format

Medpak's current tanning portfolio supports:

  • ✓ Self-tanning lotion
  • ✓ Tanning drops
  • ✓ Self-tanning mousse

Tanning System & Ingredient Direction

The tanning system and supporting ingredients should be considered as part of the complete product brief.

  • ✓ DHA-based formulation direction
  • ✓ Humectants and hydration-supporting ingredients
  • ✓ Oils and emollients
  • ✓ Botanical extracts
  • ✓ Antioxidant ingredients
  • ✓ Other compatible cosmetic ingredients

Texture & Sensory Direction

The product format influences how the finished self-tanner feels, spreads, and dispenses.

  • ✓ Lotion consistency
  • ✓ Drop-format flow
  • ✓ Mousse texture
  • ✓ Desired skin feel
  • ✓ Overall sensory profile

Build Around the Complete Formula

Product format, tanning system, supporting ingredients, texture, sensory direction, positioning, and packaging should be considered together when defining the finished self-tanner.

Product Positioning

Self-tanner concepts can be developed around different product directions according to the intended formula, format, ingredients, and brand positioning.

Lotion-based self tanning
Drop-format tanning products
Mousse-based self tanning
Skincare-inspired tanning products
Organic formulation directions

Packaging Considerations

Packaging should be evaluated alongside the formula because lotion, drop, and mousse formats can have different dispensing and component requirements.

Brands should discuss their preferred components with Medpak so suitability can be reviewed against the finished formulation.

Define the self-tanner that fits your brand.

Discuss your preferred format, tanning system, ingredients, texture, sensory direction, positioning, and packaging requirements with the Medpak team.

From Product Brief to Production

Our Self Tanner Manufacturing Process

Manufacturing Standards

Quality-Controlled Self Tanner Manufacturing

A self-tanner manufacturing partner should support both formulation development and controlled cosmetic production.

Medpak's current tanning page states that the company operates an FDA-registered manufacturing facility and holds GMP, ISO 22716:2007, USDA Organic, and Cruelty-Free International credentials.

Medpak cosmetic manufacturing facility
Quality-Focused Cosmetic Manufacturing Formulation, manufacturing, filling, packaging, and finished-product handling remain part of the overall production process.

ISO 22716:2007

ISO 22716 provides Good Manufacturing Practice guidance for cosmetic production, including areas related to production, control, storage, and handling.

Self Tanner Manufacturing Considerations

Depending on the format and formulation, manufacturing considerations may include:

Formula consistency
Ingredient compatibility
Tanning-system requirements
Texture and dispensing characteristics
Filling requirements
Packaging compatibility

Regulatory & Claim Considerations

Brands should consider formulation, labeling, ingredients, intended claims, and other applicable requirements before bringing a self-tanning product to market.

Project-specific requirements should be discussed with the Medpak team rather than assumed from a standard formulation.

Quality at Every Stage

Quality considerations should remain part of the project from formulation and ingredient selection through manufacturing, filling, packaging, and finished-product handling.

Filling & Packaging

Self Tanner Filling & Packaging

The packaging for a self-tanner should work with the finished formula, product format, dispensing method, and intended customer experience.

Medpak's current tanning service confirms manufacturing, filling, and packaging support.

Confirmed Filling Capability

Tube Filling for Tanning Lotions

Medpak's dedicated tube-filling capability specifically identifies tanning lotions as a product type suited for tube packaging.

Tube filling services

Drops & Mousse Packaging

Tanning drops and mousse products have different dispensing requirements from lotions.

The appropriate components should therefore be discussed with Medpak as part of the individual formulation and packaging project rather than assumed in advance.

Packaging Should Match the Finished Product Format

Suitability should be reviewed against the product format, formula characteristics, filling requirements, dispensing method, and selected packaging components.

Product format
Formula characteristics
Filling requirements
Dispensing method
Component compatibility

Already Have Packaging Selected?

Brands with preferred packaging components can share those requirements with Medpak during development.

Suitability will depend on the product format, formula characteristics, filling requirements, dispensing method, and component compatibility.

Match your self-tanner with the appropriate packaging format.

Discuss product format, dispensing needs, filling requirements, and preferred components with the Medpak team.
