From Nature to Glow: Inside the SunFX Small-Batch Tanning Process

SunFX team hand-pouring small-batch clean tanning products made in-house with Australian botanicals

At SunFX, we believe the best tan comes from care – not compromise. Every drop we make is blended, poured, and packed by hand in our own facility. No outsourcing. No mass production. Just a passionate, experienced team dedicated to crafting clean, skin-loving tanning products that actually make your skin healthier with every glow.

We’re proud to do it all ourselves – because real beauty deserves real craftsmanship.

Powered by Australia’s Native Botanicals

 Our roots are Australian – and so are many of our most powerful ingredients. We harness the unique potency of Australian native extracts known for their ability to protect, hydrate, and restore skin exposed to harsh climates:

  • Kakadu Plum -The worlds richest source of Vitamin C, helping brighten and protect skin from free-radical damage and promotes collagen production for glowing, youthful-looking skin.
  • Finger Lime – Packed with natural AHA fruit acids that gently exfoliate, even out texture, and help your tan apply smoother and fade more evenly.
  • Kangaroo Paw Flower – Rich in linoleic acid and ferulic acid, it helps boost skin renewal, firmness, and hydration for a longer-lasting glow.
  • Macadamia and Jojoba Oils – Rich in essential fatty acids that mimic skin’s natural balance for long-lasting hydration.
  • Aloe Vera and Vitamin E – Calm, condition, and replenish – your skin’s post-tan best friends.

These aren’t trendy buzzwords or filler ingredients – they’re proven skin-loving actives that help your tan develop evenly, fade gracefully, and leave your skin feeling silky and hydrated.

SunFX Clean and unique ingredients

Made In-House - Always

At SunFX, we don’t believe in handing off responsibility – we believe in showing up. Every product stamped with the SunFX name is blended, poured, labeled, and packed right here in our own facility – by us.

Keeping everything in-house means total control over quality. We see every ingredient, every pour, and every finished bottle before it goes out the door. By producing in small batches, we guarantee freshness, consistency, and performance that mass-produced tanning brands simply can’t match.

You’ll often find our owners – myself included – right alongside our team on the production floor. Not because we have to, but because we want to. Being hands-on keeps us connected to our people, our process, and our products. It’s how we continue to refine our formulas, improve our systems, and make sure every bottle that leaves our lab represents the best of what SunFX stands for.

That commitment to detail is what keeps our glow – and our standards – so high.

Locally Sourced. Globally Loved.

From our label printers to our packaging suppliers, we partner with local businesses who share our values of sustainability, transparency, and ethical production. By keeping our supply chain close, we reduce waste, minimize transport emissions, and maintain superior quality control.

When you buy SunFX, you’re not only supporting a clean beauty brand — you’re supporting a network of local creators and suppliers who care about the planet as much as we do.

Our Promise: A Cleaner, Smarter Way to Tan

We’re more than a tanning company – we’re the original innovators of professional all natural sunless tanning, trusted by spray-tan artists and salons for over 25 years.

From our first pour in 1999 to every small batch today, our mission stays the same: to craft a tan that’s safe, ethical, and made with love – so your glow feels as good as it looks.
