Tanning Oil
Offer your customers a luxurious way to achieve a sun-kissed glow with our private label tanning oil solutions. As a custom tanning oil manufacturer, Ausmetics develops oils that not only deepen tanning results but also nourish and protect the skin. These tanning oils are ideal for beachside brands or summer product lines, formulated to help users attain a golden tan while infusing skin with hydration.
- Premium Ingredients & Skin Benefits: Our tanning oils are enriched with natural oils (like coconut, jojoba, and argan) and vitamins that moisturize and condition the skin. This ensures a smooth, radiant glow as the oil enhances the tanning process. Fast-absorbing and lightweight, the formulas leave skin feeling silky, not greasy, while promoting an even tan.
- Customization Options: Tailor every aspect of your tanning oil. Choose to add natural bronzers or shimmery highlights for an instant glow, or infuse tropical fragrances (coconut, pineapple, vanilla) to give your product a signature scent. We can also incorporate a touch of SPF or antioxidants to provide a measure of sun protection and skin care, aligning with your brand’s ethos and target market.
- Formulation Flexibility: Whether you desire a classic sun tanning oil or a sunless self-tanning dry oil, our R&D team will craft a formula to your specifications. We accommodate vegan, organic, and alcohol-free formulations, and can adjust the oil’s viscosity and tan-enhancing ingredients (like carotene or DHA) to achieve the desired tanning effect and feel on the skin.
- Packaging Solutions: Present your tanning oil in style with our diverse packaging options. We offer sleek bottles (plastic or glass) with spray pumps or flip-top caps for easy application. Ausmetics assists in designing branded labels and packaging that reflect your brand’s tropical or luxury vibe. All packaging is secure, leak-proof, and can be made with recyclable materials to support eco-friendly initiatives.
Self Tanner (White Label Fake Tan)
- Natural-Looking Tan Results: We use high-quality DHA (dihydroxyacetone) and erythrulose in our self tanner formulations to ensure a realistic, even tan that fades uniformly. The result is a warm, sun-kissed color that looks authentic, never orange or patchy. Fast-acting formulas can develop color within 4-6 hours, providing a convenient at-home tanning experience for your customers.
- Features & Skin Benefits: Each self-tanning lotion or gel is enriched with skin-loving ingredients such as aloe vera, vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid. These additives keep the skin hydrated and smooth during the tanning process, helping to avoid dryness and streaks. Quick-dry, non-sticky textures make application easy and comfortable, while built-in bronzing guides (optional tinted formulas) show where the product has been applied for a flawless finish.
- Customization & Shades: With Ausmetics, you can customize the shade intensity and features of your fake tan product. We offer formulations for gradual tanners, medium and dark instant tans, or express 1-hour tans, depending on your brand’s needs. Choose a signature fragrance to mask the typical self-tan scent (or opt for fragrance-free for sensitive skin lines). We also accommodate requests for 100% vegan, paraben-free, and natural ingredient formulations to match your brand’s values.
- Packaging & Branding: From convenient pump bottles and tubes to sachets for single-use tanning wipes, we provide packaging solutions that suit your product format. All packaging includes professional labeling with your brand’s design, ingredient list, and required usage instructions. Our design team can help create an attractive look that appeals to your target market – whether it’s a luxe mousse in a matte bottle or a fun, tropical-themed self-tan lotion.
Self Tanning Mousse
Offer your customers a luxurious way to achieve a sun-kissed glow with our private label tanning oil solutions. As a custom tanning oil manufacturer, Ausmetics develops oils that not only deepen tanning results but also nourish and protect the skin. These tanning oils are ideal for beachside brands or summer product lines, formulated to help users attain a golden tan while infusing skin with hydration.
- Lightweight Foam Formula: Our self tanning mousse goes on as a fluffy foam that spreads effortlessly over the skin. This lightweight texture ensures even coverage without drips, making it simple for users to achieve salon-quality results at home. We can formulate the mousse with a temporary guide color (a bronzed tint) that helps users see where they’ve applied it, resulting in a streak-free finish.
- Superior Performance: The mousse formulations dry quickly and won’t leave a sticky residue, allowing your customers to get dressed shortly after application. We incorporate fast-acting tanning agents that develop a beautiful tan in just a few hours. The resulting color is long-lasting and fades naturally. Plus, we include moisturizing components (like glycerin and botanical extracts) to keep skin supple and extend the life of the tan.
- Customization & Flexibility: Create a mousse that aligns perfectly with your brand. You can choose the strength of the tanning agents for a light sun-kissed glow or a deep tropical tan. Custom scents (e.g. coconut, citrus, or green tea) can be added to enhance the user experience. If you prefer a clear mousse (water-based foam that applies transparent to avoid any guide color), we can accommodate that. Our formulation flexibility means we can also make the product transfer-resistant or add skin care boosters (such as anti-aging peptides or firming extracts) to set your mousse apart in the market.
- Packaging Options: We supply durable pump bottles designed specifically for foaming mousses, in various sizes (from 150 ml travel sizes up to 300 ml salon sizes). Packaging can be customized with frosted or colored bottles and unique cap designs to make your product visually stand out. Each bottle will feature your branding and all necessary labeling. We ensure the foaming mechanism delivers consistent mousse quality and that the packaging is safe (no leaks and easy to use pumps).
Tanning Lotion
- Hydrating Bronze Glow: Our tanning lotions are formulated with a blend of moisturizers (like shea butter, aloe vera, and natural oils) so that users can hydrate their skin while developing a tan. The result is a healthy bronze glow coupled with softer, smoother skin. Because the lotion format is rich and creamy, it allows for even application and minimizes missed spots, helping achieve a uniform tone.
- Gradual & Instant Options: We can create gradual tanning lotions that deposit a small amount of tanner with each use – perfect for daily-use products that deepen the tan day-by-day. Alternatively, we offer immediate bronzing lotions with a higher level of DHA for a quicker result (color developing within hours), or even formulas with a cosmetic bronzer for instant color upon application. Whatever the tanning approach, the color payoff is natural-looking and customizable.
- Customization & Ingredients: Tailor the lotion’s texture and ingredients to your brand. We can adjust the richness (a lightweight lotion, a creamy butter, or somewhere in between) and include specific additives like collagen, vitamin C, or caffeine for firming effects if you want a multi-benefit product. Fragrance selection is wide open – from fresh and herbal to sweet tropical – or you may opt for unscented, hypoallergenic formulas. As always, vegan and cruelty-free ingredient options are available, and we can formulate without parabens, sulfates, or other unwanted additives per your requirements.
- Packaging Solutions: Package your tanning lotion in elegant tubes or pump bottles that complement your brand’s style. We provide a range of sizes (from compact 100 ml tubes to larger 200+ ml bottles). Our team will help ensure your packaging artwork looks professional and includes all required information (ingredients, instructions, batch codes, etc.). If sustainability is a focus, we can source recyclable or biodegradable packaging materials to align with your brand’s eco-friendly values.
We can manufacture customized products based on your chosen ingredients and specific requirements.
Cruelty-Free & Ethical Manufacturing Practices
At Ausmetics, we take pride in our cruelty-free manufacturing and ethical production standards. We know that both our clients and end consumers value products that are not tested on animals and are made responsibly. Here’s how we uphold these values:
- No Animal Testing:None of our products or ingredients are ever tested on animals. Ausmetics strictly adheres to the cruelty-free policies required by the EU (which has banned cosmetic animal testing) and aligns with global standards for ethical cosmetics manufacturing. We rely on alternative testing methods and our in-house labs ensure product safety without animal testing at any stage.
- Cruelty-Free Certifications: Ausmetics is ISO22716 and GMP certified, and while those pertain to quality, we also can manufacture to meet criteria for cruelty-free certifications (such as Leaping Bunny or PETA’s Beauty Without Bunnies) if your brand seeks those accreditations. We can assist with documentation needed for your brand to obtain a cruelty-free label, since our processes are already designed to comply.
- Vegan & Clean Formulas: In addition to cruelty-free practices, we offer 100% vegan formulations for tanning products – containing no animal-derived ingredients (like beeswax, lanolin, etc.). We also focus on “clean beauty” principles: our development process can eliminate harsh chemicals and use ethically sourced, sustainable ingredients. This means your private label tanning line can proudly claim not only cruelty-free status but also align with values like vegan, natural, or organic, as per your target market’s demand.
- Sustainable & Ethical Production: Ethical manufacturing goes beyond just cruelty-free. Ausmetics is committed to environmentally responsible practices – we have invested in waste water treatment and choose sustainably sourced raw materials where possible. We can offer eco-friendly packaging (such as PCR – post-consumer recycled materials, or biodegradable materials) for your tanning products. By partnering with Ausmetics, you ensure your brand’s products are produced with a low environmental footprint and high ethical standards, which is a strong selling point in today’s market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for private label tanning products?
A: Our typical MOQ is 5,000–10,000 units per SKU, depending on the formula and packaging. For example, a standard run for a tanning lotion in a tube might be 10,000 pieces. We do offer flexibility for smaller brands – such as splitting an order into two variations (e.g., 5,000 of two different shades) or producing 10,000 units but shipping in two batches of 5,000. This way, you can start with a smaller initial stock while still benefiting from our manufacturing efficiencies.
Q2: Can I customize the formula and scent of the tanning products?
A: Absolutely. All of our private label tanning products are fully customizable. You can specify everything from the active tanning level (DHA percentage for depth of tan) and the inclusion of bronzers or skincare ingredients, to the fragrance or essential oils used for scent. Our R&D team will work with you to develop a formula that meets your brand’s specifications for color, texture, scent, and performance. We can even match or adjust formulas if you have a reference product in mind, ensuring your tanning product is truly unique to your brand.
Q3: Do you provide packaging and design services, or do I need to supply my own packaging?
A: We offer end-to-end packaging solutions. You do not need to supply your own packaging unless you prefer to. Ausmetics can source and customize a wide range of packaging options for your tanning products – whether it’s bottles, pumps, tubes, or jars. We’ll present packaging styles and materials for you to choose from that align with your brand image. We also assist with graphic design for labels and packaging, including printing your logo, choosing colors, and ensuring all required information (ingredients, usage directions, etc.) is on the label. Our goal is to deliver a shelf-ready product, so you save time and effort on packaging development.
Q4: Are your tanning products cruelty-free and vegan?
A: Yes. All products manufactured by Ausmetics are 100% cruelty-free – we never test on animals. This is a core value of our company, and it also ensures compliance with regulations in regions like the EU where animal testing is banned. In addition, we can formulate your private label tanning products to be vegan. This means we would use plant-based ingredients and avoid any animal-derived ingredients (for instance, using plant glycerin instead of animal-derived glycerin, etc.). If you want to highlight vegan or clean beauty claims, let us know and we will develop the formula accordingly (and provide documentation to support those claims).
Q5: How do you ensure the products meet EU and US regulations?
A: Ausmetics has a dedicated Quality Assurance and Regulatory Compliance team to make sure all products adhere to local and international regulations. For the EU, we ensure the formula meets the requirements of the EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 – no banned substances, appropriate ingredient percentages, and we conduct a safety assessment via a qualified assessor to produce the CPSR. We assist you with compiling the Product Information File (PIF) and guide you through the EU CPNP notification process for your product. For the US market, we follow FDA guidelines for cosmetics: we make sure all ingredients are approved for cosmetic use and at safe levels, and ensure labeling meets FDA regulations (e.g., INCI ingredient names, net contents, and required disclaimers). Our factory is FDA-registered and GMP compliant, meaning our processes meet the standards expected for producing products for the US. We also stay updated on any changes in laws (for example, new ingredient bans or restrictions) and will proactively adjust formulas if needed. Rest assured, when you work with Ausmetics, regulatory compliance is built into our development process.
Q6: What is the typical lead time to develop and produce a private label tanning product?
A: The lead time can vary depending on the complexity of your product and order size, but generally the timeline is as follows: Product development and sampling usually takes a few weeks (approximately 2–4 weeks to create custom lab samples for you to evaluate). Once you approve the formula and packaging, mass production and filling takes about 45–50 days. So in total, you can expect roughly 8–12 weeks from project start to finished products ready to ship. This timeline includes formulation, testing, sample approval, ingredient sourcing, production, and quality checks. We prioritize thoroughness to ensure you get a high-quality product, but we also work efficiently and will keep you updated at each stage. If you have a specific launch deadline, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate it in the schedule.
Q7: Can Ausmetics ship my private label products internationally (to Europe/US)?
A: Yes, we regularly ship products to clients in Europe, North America, and around the globe. We are experienced in international logistics for cosmetics. We can handle the export process from our side, including proper documentation like commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of analysis or origin if required. You can arrange the freight or we can assist in finding a reliable shipping carrier (by air or sea). We ensure that the products are securely packed for long-distance transport. Keep in mind, we’ll also help ensure you have any documentation you might need for import customs clearance on your side (for example, the EU requires a customer-facing address on the label and possibly certain notifications which we help with). Our goal is to make the delivery of your tanning products as smooth as the production.
