Indoor Tanning Lotion

Mixture Instructions

Proportion Base to AdditivesBegin with your Indoor Tanning Lotion base as the foundation for formulation. Aquatech’s base is already rich in moisturizing oils, emulsifiers, and active tanning ingredients like DHAFor customization, add up to 1% fragrance if you have scale measurements—approximately 1 teaspoon (5 ml) per 20 oz (≈600 ml) of lotion is recommended for unscented bases Add Fragrance (Optional)If you’d like to include a fragrance note, carefully fold in 0.75%–1% based on your total batch weight Avoid over-fragrancing; the lotion base is designed to perform effectively as is.Incorporate Extracts or Oils (Optional)Should you wish to enhance the formula with additional extracts or oils (e.g., botanical actives, antioxidants), do so sparingly. Start with small batches to observe consistency and absorption.Since this is an emulsion formula, adding too much extra liquid can alter viscosity and stability.Mixing TechniqueUse a resealable plastic bag (like a freezer or zip-lock bag) placed inside a clean container. Pour in your measured lotion, fragrance, or extracts.Seal the bag securely and massage it gently with your fingers until fully blended. This method avoids the need for complex equipment and helps maintain hygiene consistency across batches Packaging and StorageOnce mixed thoroughly, cut a small corner of the bag and dispense directly into your packaging—whether pump bottles, tubes, or jars—minimizing contamination risk Label your formulations clearly and conduct stability tests if you’re modifying the base with extras.
