What is clear tanning solution and why do pros love it?
Clear solution is the same professional DHA formula as its cosmetic counterpart… just without the color additives.
That means no FD&C dyes. No caramel. No bronzers. Nothing sitting on top of the skin.
💍 Perfect for brides who don’t want any risk of cosmetic bronzer transferring onto a wedding gown
✨ Ideal for faces or backs with acne, where minimizing pore-clogging ingredients matters
🌙 Made for night tans—go to bed dreaming of the Bahamas, wake up bronzed ☀️
⏳ Lasts 2–3 days longer because there’s no barrier between the skin cell and the DHA
Without cosmetic colorants, the Maillard reaction happens deeper in the skin, creating a richer, longer-lasting tan that fades beautifully.
Invisible on application. Powerful in results. That’s the science of clear. 🤍 Share with your tam BFF or sunless Pro 💖
Behind the scenes in our lab making our Infinity Sun Extend Serum ✨
One thing about me @veroniquemunro , as the founder of this brand, I’ve never believed a tan product should only make your tan last longer. Your skin should actually look and feel better because of it.
That’s why every ingredient matters to us. While we formulated Extend to help prolong the life of your sunless tan, we also load it with high-quality skincare ingredients that help support hydration, softness, radiance, and the overall condition of the skin. Because healthy skin doesn’t just develop deeper and more even looking color, but it will hold a tan and make it fade much more naturally.
From the texture to the finish to the feel on the skin, every detail is intentional inside our lab.
This is the part people don’t always see, the testing, the sourcing, the formulating, the obsession over ingredients , but it’s the reason Infinity Sun products feel different.
Skincare first. Tan second. Always.
I can still picture myself as a little girl in my bedroom, working out of my closet, my own little lab. Mixing things together, experimenting, trying to figure out how to change the color of my skin so people wouldn't keep making fun of how white I was. I didn’t have training then, I didn’t have a roadmap, but I had the belief it was possible..
It stayed with me for years. Quietly. In the background while I studied, learned skills, succeeded a bit, failed terribly but kept trying anyway. And I remember the moment I finally said it out loud, “I’m going to do this for real". Not in some big, dramatic way either, just very certain, and people laughed. or just didn’t take me seriously. That look of… okay, sure. But when something lives inside of you like that, it doesn’t go away. It keeps showing up, keeps pulling you forward whether anyone believes in it or not. And now here I am, 44 years later, still doing it. Only now it’s turned into some of the most innovative products in the sunless industry. It’s wild to even say that. But the truth is, it started in a closet. Born out of a feeling of lack, being less than, not feeling enough. But somehow there was feeling I trusted before I had any proof.
So if you have that thing in your heart,
even if no one else sees it yet, even if it sounds crazy when you say it out loud…do it anyway.
One day you might wish you could go back and tell that 14 year old girl not to worry, god has a plan for your life and to just be happy... one day it will all make sense 😊

ALCOHOL BASED SOLUTIONS?
One question I have seen more than any other about solution over the last 20 years is what the difference is between alcohol and alcohol-free formulas.
It is so interesting to me to see how one-dimensional this discussion has become. I hear it all the time:
“I only use alcohol-free because alcohol dries the skin.”
But that’s not entirely correct. A spray tan is not like applying a lotion to the skin. It’s being atomized into a micro-fine mist and alcohol is volatile, so a good portion of it evaporates before and immediately after it hits the skin. Which means it’s not sitting there the way people think it is.
But here’s where it actually matters…Spray tan solutions aren’t actually alcohol-based, they’re generally water-based formulas that may include alcohol as part of a broader solvent system.
Alcohol-containing solutions can dry down faster, feel lighter on the skin, lay down more evenly in a fine mist, give you a more refined, polished finish to the tan.
Alcohol-free solutions can stay wetter, longer, feel more cushioned or hydrated, require a different balance to avoid tackiness, behave differently during application.
At Infinity Sun & Sunless labs, we formulate both, so I can tell you firsthand that an alcohol-containing solution is not inherently more drying.
An alcohol-free solution is not automatically more tacky.
That’s a formulation issue. Not an ingredient issue. If an alcohol formula feels drying, it’s because it’s not balanced properly.
If an alcohol-free formula feels sticky or heavy, it’s because something else is overcompensating.
Every formula has a job to do. And every ingredient has to be in the right place, at the right level, working with everything else around it.
My recommendation if you want to really offer solutions you think perform well, stop looking at one ingredient and eliminate the entire solution because of it. You may end up dismissing a solution that could turn out to be your and your customers favorite.
Instead look at how it performs
and how it feels on the skin, because ultimately that’s what your client experiences.
What happens after the spray tan is just as important as what happens during it.
What you’re looking at here is our Shimmer Hydration Elixir,
formulated to support the skin after application, when the tan is still developing and the barrier is most vulnerable.
We built this with intention:
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) to deeply hydrate and support the skin barrier
• Allantoin to calm and restore, especially important post-application
• Hyaluronic Acid to help hold water in the skin and reduce transepidermal water loss
• Vitamin E to protect and condition
We also incorporate Vitamin C for antioxidant support, helping the skin maintain clarity and resilience while the tan develops.
The subtle radiance you’re seeing here comes from gold and silver mica particulates, designed to diffuse light across the skin for an immediate, elegant glow… without interfering with the development of the tan underneath.
And then we layered in mango + raspberry extracts, not as decoration, but as antioxidant-rich components that support the skin and give that soft, luminous finish you see here.
We knew early on that a beautiful tan isn’t just about color. It never has been at Infinity Sun! We built our entire system on how the skin holds that color.
Hydrated skin = better development
Balanced skin = better fade
Supported skin = better results
This is the part of the process most brands skip. We didn’t. Not since day 1 - That's why we have won many aeards for our formulas and spray systems! 🏆
I know the intention is good, you want to create a “face tanning water” for your clients, something lighter, more hydrating, more retail-friendly.
But I need to lovingly say this...
Please don’t just dilute clear solution with distilled water.
When you take a professionally formulated sunless solution and add water, you’re not just “making it lighter”…
You’re breaking the formula.
A sunless solution is a carefully balanced system, not just DHA and water.
You’re disrupting Preservation systems (bacteria + mold risk), pH balance (which directly affects DHA performance and stability, penetration enhancers & humectants (so now results are unpredictable), color development integrity (patchy, uneven, or weak results)
And here’s the part most people don’t realize, DHA is extremely sensitive to pH and environment
When you alter that balance, you can end up with off-color development (orange, ashy, or no result at all), faster degradation (shorter shelf life), Inconsistent results from client to client
So what started as a “simple DIY” can actually compromise your results, your reputation, and your client’s skin safety.
If you want a true face tanning water, It needs to be properly preserved, pH-balanced for the face, formulated with the right molecular weight humectants, designed for delicate facial skin (not just body carryover).
If you want an optimally formulated, high quality face tan water, Sunless Labs/Infinity Sun manufactures high quality, independently tested for stability and microbial testing and extremely performance driven tanning products- very low minimums too! Email [email protected] to get set up. you can start with as little as 6 units at a time.
Here’s the general rule:
Wax 24–48 hours before your spray tan so your pores have time to close, preventing the tan from settling into them and leaving behind little dark dots.
But there’s an exception—
If you’re using Infinity Sun Normalize, you can spray tan the same day as waxing. Normalize acts as a pore primer, coating and protecting the skin so your tan develops evenly—no speckling, no weird dots. Just make sure you thoroughly remove all wax residue and oils before your tan.
Quick tips for best results: • Use a gentle cleanser or exfoliant to remove leftover wax and oil. • Spray Infinity Sun Normalize to prep the skin and seal the pores. • Avoid lotion, deodorant, or perfume right before your tan.
Done right, waxing + spray tanning can be a power combo for flawlessly bronzed, silky-smooth skin.
Make sure you are familiar with all Infinity Sun Beauty Treatment Add-ons including Normalize (pre spray tan) .pH Elixir, Anti-age & Shimmer Hydration Elixirs (post spray tan)
Have you ever spray tanned right after getting waxed?
