Our Process: From Concept to Launch
Our refined process is built to support you at every stage, from first idea through to launch of your salon and self-tanning range. With deep manufacturing experience and hands-on guidance, we handle the complex parts of formulation, colour development, testing and production so you can focus on building your brand with confidence and clarity. If you already have a spray tan, mousse or tanning oil formula, we can complete a tech transfer and fast-track it into our facility.
This transparent way of working makes PCI a trusted partner for self-tanning manufacturers and private label tanning brands across Australia.
Discovery Call

R&D & Sampling
Our chemists develop samples based on your brief, adjusting texture, scent and performance for your brand.
Pilot & Scale-Up
We perform stability, compatibility and microbial testing before moving to full production, ensuring every batch meets our GMP standards.
Production & Packaging
Full-scale manufacturing takes place in our temperature-controlled, precision-monitored facility.
Delivery & Ongoing Support
After launch, we assist with re-orders, variant extensions and new product development as your brand grows.
Regulatory & Global Compliance
Launching salon and self-tanning products often means navigating a maze of cosmetic standards, DHA usage guidelines and regional regulations. We simplify this by helping you manage ingredient compliance and INCI listings, preparing documentation for export markets, and supporting organic or naturally derived positioning where required. Our team can coordinate stability and microbial testing and advise on tanning-specific claims, such as wear time and development time, so they align with regulatory expectations. With ISO 22716 GMP certification, our facility is recognised internationally, giving retailers and distributors confidence in your tanning range without the need for additional manufacturing audits.
