EVERYTHING IN THE BOX
WHAT’S INSIDE YOUR KIT
Apollo Mini Mist® HVLP Turbine System
Backed by over 40 years of Apollo engineering, this professional-grade HVLP system is compact, lightweight, and built for both mobile and studio use. Portable enough to take anywhere, powerful enough to keep up with a full day of clients.
DHA-Free Education Blend
Perfect your technique risk-free. This non-DHA training solution uses temporary cosmetic bronzers only — practice on friends, family, or yourself and it washes off in one shower. No commitment, no color, no stress.
Original N°9 Medium — 8 oz
Your everyday workhorse and the most popular shade in the Sjolie lineup. 9% DHA, aloe vera base, olive undertones for a golden, sun-kissed finish. Fits Fitzpatrick types II–III with up to 10-day wear. Approximately 4 full-body tans per bottle.
Luxe N°12 Dark — 8 oz
When your client wants deep, rich color. 12% DHA with violet undertones and an alcohol base that dries fast and develops into a beautiful chocolate-brown finish. Ideal for warm and neutral skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–V). Up to 7-day wear.
Original Rapid — 8 oz
The game-changer for busy schedules. 18% DHA rapid-rinse formula — clients rinse in 1–5 hours instead of 8, and DHA continues developing for up to 24 hours after rinse. Lunch-break appointments are absolutely on the table.
pH Balancing Spray — 8 oz
The secret to consistent results on every skin type. Formulated with witch hazel, arnica extract, citric acid, and rosemary extract to balance skin pH before spraying. Fragrance-free. Approximately 30 uses per bottle.
Barrier Cream — 16 oz
Prevents the dark hands, knees, and elbows that scream “bad spray tan.” Made with aloe vera, shea butter, and safflower seed oil. Apply to dry areas before spraying for a natural, even finish. Fragrance-free. Approximately 60 uses per bottle.
NSTPA Online Certification
Full spray tan certification through the National Spray Tanning Professional Association — included with your kit. Learn proper technique, skin science (Fitzpatrick scale, undertones, pH), client consultation, and the business fundamentals you need to get booked.
mySunless — 3-Month Trial
Client management software built specifically for spray tan artists. Track appointments, manage client profiles, record solution preferences, and handle booking — all from day one. Because a good tan is only half the business; the other half is running it like a pro.
