Beauty Commons’ has formulated proprietary spray tan solutions

Every Beauty Commons spray tan is made with our own signature solutions, formulated for our studios and made in the USA. With five shades to choose from, your artist can match your tan to your skin tone, your schedule, and the look you want, from a soft natural glow to a deep, rich bronze. Our custom Beauty Commons solutions range from 8% to 16% DHA.

We offer express tans (aka rapid solutions) that you can leave on for 1-4 hours. Or traditional solutions that you rinse off between 6-8 hours.

Your spray tan artist will recommend one during your consultation.

Skincare in every bottle

Our solutions pair beautiful color with ingredients that care for your skin:

  • Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin, helping your color develop evenly for a glowy finish instead of a flat one.

  • Niacinamide (vitamin B3) supports your skin's moisture barrier for a smoother, more even fade.

  • CoQ10, an antioxidant, helps skin look smooth and radiant.

  • Hydrolyzed silk peptides give a silky application and help reduce transfer.

  • Green tea and rose water in all our shades add gentle, lightweight hydration, so skin doesn't feel tight or dry after your tan.
