Recently, there has been a significant increase in demand for sunscreen and self-tanning products. This trend is driven by greater awareness of the risks associated with excessive exposure to UV rays and the desire of consumers to protect their skin. The key factor in the growing demand is the emphasis on the importance of skin health and preventing problems related to sun exposure, such as premature aging, pigmentation spots, and the risk of skin cancer. As a result, sunscreen and self-tanning products have become a necessity in the daily skincare routine for many consumers who desire a beautiful, even tan without compromising skin health.

This is also where the growing interest from companies in the field comes from, as they seek to launch entire ranges of self-tanning products to meet these needs. In the following, we will detail what you need to consider when entering the market with a new cosmetic product that aims to secure a good spot on the shelf and generate profit.

What You Need to Know About Launching a Private Label Self-Tanning Brand

Launching a cosmetic product on the market involves a lot of knowledge, analysis, and market research, considerable budgets, time, and effort. Many people are involved, specialists, countless tests, approvals, and certifications without which you cannot produce any cream or lotion, no matter how good it may be. Therefore, the most important step is to create a business plan that is detailed and includes everything related to allocated resources: time, personnel, and especially budget. Only in this way will you know that you will not be caught by surprise by certain details or problems that may arise along the way. A well-prepared business plan saves you from future inconveniences and gives you an overview of what this process entails from the start. We will continue by discussing a few steps that should not be missing from the initial planning.

Identifying the Target Market and Consumer Needs

Who are you making this product for? What needs would you like to address? What is the unique element you want to bring to the market? These are just a few of the questions for which you should have clear answers. Identifying the target audience and consumer needs is a crucial step in launching a private label self-tanning brand. Before starting this process, it is important to analyze the market in depth and identify the segments of users you want to attract. This involves assessing the demographic and behavioral characteristics of the target audience, as well as understanding their needs and preferences regarding self-tanning products. In this way, you can develop products and marketing strategies that effectively meet the requirements and desires of consumers, ensuring that you are in tune with market trends and offering relevant and attractive solutions for your audience.

Selecting a Reliable Manufacturer or Supplier

One of the simplest methods is to turn to a private label company that has the necessary know-how, equipment, ingredients, and specialists who can help you at every step, including obtaining the necessary approvals and certifications for market launch. Essentially, a company that offers complete private label services.

It is vital to identify a partner with experience and a solid reputation, with whom you can resonate, who offers the highest quality products, and who adheres to safety standards. In this regard, evaluating the portfolio and production capacity of potential suppliers, testing samples to verify the quality of their products, and discussing specific requirements and collaboration expectations are essential.

We advise you to establish clear terms and conditions in the contract and communicate openly and transparently with the manufacturer to ensure an efficient and long-term collaboration.

At the same time, when choosing a reliable supplier, you need to ensure that you will receive support throughout the collaboration. This way, you ensure that you will receive assistance and advice as you develop and launch your products on the market.

Opt for a manufacturer that works with the highest quality, eco-friendly, bio, and sustainable ingredients to ensure that your products are not only effective and safe but also environmentally friendly.

Creating a Unique and Customized Formula

Creating a unique formula for private label self-tanners is a crucial step in developing your brand. To attract and retain customers, you need to offer superior quality products that stand out in the market. Therefore, we recommend working closely with the manufacturer to formulate a self-tanner that is effective, safe, and tailored to market needs. We encourage you to opt for natural and organic ingredients, such as essential oils, plant extracts, and antioxidants, to ensure a product that is skin- and environmentally-friendly.

A key ingredient is DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which reacts with proteins in the upper layer of the skin to produce a temporary tanned color. Other essential ingredients include antioxidants such as vitamin E and Aloe Vera, which hydrate and protect the skin from oxidative damage.

Additionally, consider consumer preferences and needs, such as skin type, the desired level of tan intensity, and preferences related to texture and scent. This way, you will be able to create a formula that delivers remarkable results and meets customer expectations.

It is important to note that self-tanners come in various forms, each with its advantages and characteristics:

  • Self-Tanning Foam: This form is popular due to its easy application and foamy texture. It is preferred for quick and even results, and the fast drying time on the skin is a major advantage.
  • Self-Tanning Oil: If you want to offer a product that deeply hydrates the skin and gives a radiant tan, self-tanning oil is an excellent option. It is suitable for dry skin and provides a glowing appearance.
  • Self-Tanning Cream: Classic and versatile, self-tanning cream is favored for the intense hydration it provides and the natural tan it creates. It is ideal for drier areas of the body.
  • Self-Tanning Spray: For a quick and easy application, the self-tanning spray is an excellent choice, as it can be evenly sprayed on the skin.

Regardless of the form it comes in, a self-tanner must provide visible, long-lasting results without compromising skin health or staining clothes.

Product Packaging Design and Branding

Choosing an attractive and innovative design can make the difference in capturing consumers’ attention and building a strong brand identity. Opt for a design that reflects your brand’s values and message, using colors, fonts, and graphic elements that align with your vision. Additionally, ensure that the packaging is practical and ergonomic, facilitating the use and storage of the product. By creating a memorable and distinctive packaging design, you will be able to stand out in the market and attract the attention of potential customers.

Product Testing and Obtaining Necessary Approvals

Ensuring the quality and safety of the product is a priority to gain the trust and loyalty of customers. Before launching the product to the market, it is important to conduct rigorous tests to evaluate its effectiveness, stability, and safety. Additionally, obtaining the necessary certifications, such as compliance with safety standards and current regulations, is essential to ensure that your product meets legal and industry norms. Through testing and certification, you will be able to offer customers the confidence that your self-tanner is safe and effective.

At Pop Chemistprod, we handle everything related to completing and submitting testing and compliance files for each client, including sending samples to various partner laboratories, both domestically and internationally, to ensure that what our private label company produces is of superior quality.

Launching and Promotion Strategy for the Self-Tanning Brand

This final step is very important. How you present it to the public will be the foundation of its success. Going back a little to the business plan we discussed at the beginning of the article, it must include the marketing strategy, with all the communication channels that will be approached, the budget allocated to each, the detailed schedule, and any launch events if these were considered.

It is advisable to use both online and offline marketing channels to promote your brand and product, including social media, digital advertising, promotional events, and collaborations with industry influencers, personalities you can turn into brand ambassadors.

Also, offer free samples or product trials to allow customers to try the product and form an opinion about it. By launching and effectively promoting your self-tanning brand, you will be able to attract customer attention and significantly increase your sales.

The marketing and promotion plan will be implemented over a period of several months to ensure maximum impact.
