About Soleil Collective

Backed by Gauge Capital, Soleil Collective is building a portfolio of leading high-growth brands specializing in sunless tan, sun care, and body care products.

Loving Tan is the category leader in prestige tanning, delivering the most natural-looking tan. Proudly made on Australia’s Gold Coast, the professional quality, natural olive color, and flawless application are beloved by A-listers, creators, and beauty lovers alike.
