Gradual Self-Tanning Body Lotion

A buildable gradual tanner that removes the two risks stopping people from buying self-tan: going orange and going streaky. A moderate 4 percent DHA level develops slowly over several applications so color builds under the user control, and erythrulose deepens the tone into a cooler, more natural brown while extending wear. The lotion base moisturizes with shea and aloe, so it doubles as a body lotion and avoids the dry patches where tanner grabs. Peakfinity Labs private labels this lotion with custom DHA strengths, guide color and full artwork at a 2,000 unit minimum.

  • GMP & ISO Certified Manufacturing
  • Low Minimum Order Quantity
  • 4–6 Week Turnaround
  • Custom Formulation Available
