About Soleil Collective

Backed by Gauge Capital, Soleil Collective is building a portfolio of leading high-growth brands specializing in sunless tan, suncare and body care products. Soleil accelerates growth and improves profitability with sales, marketing, operations and strategic management expertise. We have completed two acquisitions to date: Loving Tan and Coco & Eve.

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

Coco & Eve’s story starts in Bali, among the island’s volcanic beaches and lush rainforests. The brand allows you to glow up like you just returned from a trip to paradise with our sun-kissed, skin-loving tan products and deliciously scented, efficacious haircare—all formulated the best tropical Balinese ingredients. We are actively searching for additional brands that are a strong fit with our portfolio and vision with a goal of $200+ million in USD Sales through organic growth and acquisition within the next 3-4 years.
