Self-tan Manufacturing for Brands Ready to Launch or Scale

Beach Babe Labs partners with beauty brands that are actively preparing to launch, expand, or scale sunless products. We provide clear, proven manufacturing pathways that turn concepts into commercially viable self-tan products without the missteps that slow launches or compromise performance.

Our Process

01 — Introductory Call
An initial conversation to understand your brand, product vision, timeline, and manufacturing readiness. This call is designed to confirm alignment and determine whether Beach Babe Labs is the right partner for your project.

02 — Project Brief & Scope Definition
Qualified brands complete a structured project brief outlining product format, target performance, positioning, and go-to-market goals. This step ensures clarity before any formulation or manufacturing work begins.

03 — Go-To-Market Pathway Selection
Based on your goals and scale, we identify the appropriate pathway — market-ready self-tan systems or selective custom formulation — to support efficiency, quality, and long-term success.

04 — Formulation & Iteration Rounds
Chemist-led formulation and controlled iteration focused on real-world performance, stability, and scalability. This phase is designed to reduce downstream risk and protect product integrity before scale-up.

05 — Final Approval, Manufacturing & Launch
Once formulation is approved, projects move into commercial production using American-made manufacturing processes built for consistency, communication, and repeatability. Products are manufactured, filled, and prepared for launch with batch-to-batch reliability.V

Chemist-Led by Design

Beach Babe Labs is led by a team of cosmetic chemists with hands-on experience developing and scaling sunless products in real manufacturing environments.

Sunless formulation is technically demanding, with narrow performance windows and chemistry that is highly sensitive to process and scale. Our chemist-led approach solves the issues brands encounter most often — inconsistent color, odor challenges, shade drift, and scale-up failures — before products reach the market.

Every system we manufacture is shaped by real-world production experience, not theory or trend chasing.

Our Formulas are the Golden Standard in Self Tan
