How Microbiome Sunless Complex Changes Everything
Transform your spray tan business with the only professional tanning solutions that nurture your clients’ skin ecosystem for superior color development, extended wear, and healthier skin.
The Game-Changing Innovation Professional Spray Tan Artists Have Been Waiting For
As a professional spray tan artist, you’ve likely experienced the frustration: despite perfect technique and premium equipment, some clients develop patchy or unnatural color, experience rapid fading, or struggle with that telltale “self-tanner smell.” The culprit isn’t necessarily your skill, it’s that traditional spray tan solutions ignore the most critical factor in color development: your client’s skin microbiome.
Enter Sainte Cacao’s revolutionary Microbiome Sunless Complex—the first and only professional spray tan technology that works with your client’s skin ecosystem instead of against it, delivering consistently superior results that will transform your business and keep clients coming back.
What is the Microbiome Sunless Complex?
The Microbiome Sunless Complex is our proprietary blend of scientifically selected ingredients that optimize the skin’s natural bacterial ecosystem for enhanced DHA reaction and superior tanning results. This breakthrough technology features three key components:
Beta Glucan: The Color Development Optimizer
This polysaccharide strengthens the skin barrier and reduces inflammation that can interfere with even DHA reaction. By creating a stable, healthy surface layer, beta glucan ensures consistent color development across the entire body and prevents the patchy, uneven fading that occurs when the skin barrier is compromised.
Agave Inulin: The Microbiome Balancer
As a prebiotic, agave inulin feeds beneficial skin bacteria while starving harmful bacteria that can interfere with DHA binding. This creates the optimal pH environment for DHA to react with amino acids, resulting in deeper color development and more natural-looking results. It also prevents the overgrowth of odor-causing bacteria, significantly reducing the telltale “self-tanner smell.”
Sea Buckthorn Oil: The Longevity Enhancer
Rich in omega fatty acids and amino acids, sea buckthorn oil provides the building blocks DHA needs for optimal reaction while maintaining the moisture barrier that keeps color locked in. This dual action results in both deeper initial color development and extended wear time.

The Science That Changes Everything
DHA (dihydroxyacetone) reacts with amino acids in the skin’s outermost layer—but here’s what the industry missed: the skin’s microbiome directly influences both amino acid availability and the pH environment where this reaction occurs.
When the skin microbiome is imbalanced:
- ❌ DHA reacts unevenly, creating patchy color
- ❌ Odor-causing bacteria proliferate, creating the “self-tanner smell”
- ❌ Barrier function is compromised, leading to rapid fading
- ❌ Inflammation increases, causing uneven color development
With Microbiome Sunless Complex:
- ✅ Optimal amino acid availability for even DHA reaction
- ✅ Balanced bacterial ecosystem prevents odor
- ✅ Strengthened barrier function for extended wear
- ✅ Reduced inflammation for natural looking color
