Cosmetic technology transferDiscuss your product format, ingredient direction, texture, positioning, packaging, and manufacturing requirements with the Medpak team.
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.
Self-Tanning Lotion
Medpak currently offers a self-tanning lotion formulation direction for brands developing a creamier topical tanning product.
The final texture, tanning system, and supporting ingredients should be determined through the complete formulation.
Tanning Drops
For brands seeking a more concentrated or drop-format product, Medpak currently develops tanning drops.
The final consistency, concentration, and packaging requirements should be developed together for the individual product.
Self-Tanning Mousse
Medpak also develops self-tanning mousse formulations for brands seeking a lighter-texture tanning format.
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.
Discuss your product format, tanning system, ingredients, sensory direction, and packaging requirements with the Medpak team.
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.

- ✓ 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.
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.
Discuss your preferred format, tanning system, ingredients, texture, sensory direction, positioning, and packaging requirements with the Medpak team.
Our Self Tanner Manufacturing Process
Medpak's current tanning service confirms support for concept and ingredient selection, development and samples, manufacturing, filling, and packaging.
Brands moving an existing self-tanning product can also discuss technology transfer as part of a manufacturer change.

The project begins with understanding the self-tanning product your brand wants to create or manufacture.
- Product format
- Target customer
- Ingredient direction
- Desired texture and skin feel
- Existing formula, if applicable
- Packaging requirements
Formula Development or Product Transfer
For a new product, Medpak can develop the self-tanner around the agreed brief. Brands with an established product can discuss the appropriate technology-transfer pathway.

Packaging requirements should be reviewed against the finished format, formulation, and dispensing method.
- Product format
- Formula consistency
- Dispensing requirements
- Component compatibility
- Brand presentation
Discuss your product format, formula, development, samples, manufacturing, filling, and packaging requirements with the Medpak team.
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.


GMP-Certified Manufacturing
Good Manufacturing Practices provide structured procedures for producing and controlling cosmetic products.
GMP-certified manufacturing facilityISO 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:
Regulatory & Claim Considerations
Brands should consider formulation, labeling, ingredients, intended claims, and other applicable requirements before bringing a self-tanning product to market.
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.
Talk with the Medpak team about your formulation, manufacturing, filling, packaging, and project-specific requirements.
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.
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 servicesDrops & 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.
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.
Discuss product format, dispensing needs, filling requirements, and preferred components with the Medpak team.
