We are a dedicated team of scientists, product gurus, marketing mavens, and manufacturing experts with over 30 years of experience developing and manufacturing personal care products for brands. Our in-house R&D, brand partnerships, marketing, quality, manufacturing, supply chain, engineering, and customer success teams are passionate about every little detail that goes into a successful new product, from ingredient selection to materials traceability and regulatory compliance. We know that product safety and transparency are critical to consumer health and safety as well as to the success of your brand, and it is our honor to help you succeed.

Solésence products are formulated using our own mineral sunscreen actives, which are produced in our FDA-registered Chicagoland facility where we have been producing sunscreen actives — including the leading zinc oxide sunscreen active — to the personal care industry for decades. We have minimum standards for all our products and we ensure that all products comply with current regulatory and safety requirements, including manufacturing and packaging under the FDA's cGMP standards. All of our products are cruelty-free. Learn more about out team.

Working with us

SPF-infused beauty is our specialty. Every Solésence product is patent-protected and benefits from our one-of-a-kind skin health technology platform, Active Stress Defense™, which quenches free radicals, protects against UV radiation and pollution, boosts antioxidants, and more. As our partner, you'll also benefit from access to our product marketing and customer education materials that support your product's success. Brand partners with customized white label or custom products will also benefit from our digital project management tools that streamline the product development process, speed up time-to-market, and ease your stress during production.

We know everyone is different — and that each brand has different needs dependent upon on your target timeline to launch, expected order quantity, and product requirements — so we offer four different paths to market. View this comparative chart to see the differences in our paths to market.
