Choosing the Right Solution for Your Spray Tan Business: A Pro’s Guide

When it comes to growing a profitable and professional spray tan business, choosing the right spray tan solution is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Your solution isn’t just a product—it’s your reputation in a bottle. The results your clients leave with will either have them raving and rebooking—or ghosting your business completely.

So, how do you confidently choose the best spray tan solution for your clients, business model, and long-term brand goals? In this pro guide, we’re breaking down everything you need to know to pick the perfect sunless tanning solution that delivers flawless, natural-looking results every time.

Why Your Spray Tan Solution Matters

Your spray tan solution is the foundation of your sunless business. It impacts:

• Color outcome and client satisfaction

• How long the tan lasts

• Whether the results fade evenly or patchy

• How your brand is perceived (luxury vs. basic)

• Your ability to charge premium pricing

If you’re using a one-size-fits-all formula or just grabbing what’s cheapest, you could be sabotaging your business without even realizing it.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Spray Tan Solution

1. Skin Type + Undertone Compatibility

Not all spray tan solutions are created equal. Some of the most sought-after professional spray tan artists use products with a variety of undertones to work the best for their clients’ skin tones and desired color depth.

X-Tan Sunless offers solutions tailored to various undertones. The newest favorite of X-Tan Sunless Artists is the violet-based sweat-resistant Obsidian X, a blend that's perfect for a rich, dark, and beautiful bronze. X-Tan also offers simplified customization through the Bronzite Solution Line. Each of these solutions is formulated with a neutral brown base that can be paired with the green, violet, or red Bronzite Drops.

2. Drying Time + Rinse Time

Are your clients looking for a quick rinse? Or do they prefer overnight development?

X-Tan offers both:

1. Rapid solutions for clients who want to rinse in 2–4 hours

2. Classic 8–12 hour formulas for deep, lasting color

Choosing the right option helps you attract more clients and offer flexibility based on lifestyle and preference. The best part? We have solution options that provide this type of variety, all within one solution. Our Obsidian and Obsidian Xsolutions can both be used as a rapid or 8-hour solution option. These solutions are perfect for tailoring the sunless experience to each of your clients' needs and skin type without carrying a large inventory of different solutions.

3. Ingredients + Skin Benefits

Today’s clients are more ingredient-conscious than ever. They want clean, vegan-friendly, and hydrating formulas that won’t dry out their skin.

X-Tan Sunless solutions are:

• Vegan + cruelty-free

• Paraben, gluten, and sulfate-free

• Infused with skin-loving ingredients like aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E

This not only enhances results but positions your spray tan service as a luxury experience, not just a quick tan.

4. Branding + Client Experience

Your product should align with your brand identity. If you’re marketing yourself as a high-end or results-driven spray tan artist, your solution should support that. Using a reputable, pro-trusted solution like X-Tan helps you build credibility and confidence.

Plus, clients can see and feel the difference when you use premium sunless tanning products that are designed for professional use.
