Clean Ingredients, Real Results
Aloe Vera
Deeply hydrates and soothes skin with anti-inflammatory antioxidants for even development and a soft, supple finish.
Vitamin E
Combats free radicals and preserves a youthful appearance, safeguarding skin against environmental damage during development.
Natural DHA
Derived from sugar beets and sugar cane for a clean, even color that develops naturally and fades gracefully over time.
Walnut Extract
Sourced from the husk — never the nut — for a signature golden undertone safe for those with nut allergies.
Three Steps to a Flawless Tan
Prepare the Skin
Exfoliate and moisturize dry areas 24 hours before. Skip deodorant, perfume, and tight clothing on the day of application. Use Sjolie pH Balancer Prep Spray and Barrier Cream for best results.
Apply Evenly
Pour 2 oz (50 ml) into the spray gun. Apply one light, even coat using the Sjolie Spray Tan Method. Dry the client between each pass. Do not shake the solution before use.
Develop & Rinse
Allow 8 hours for full development. DHA continues to develop for up to 24 hours after application to reach its maximum potential. Rinse with lukewarm water without soap, then pat dry.

Finding a medium spray tan that works on virtually every skin tone felt impossible until I discovered the N°9. The formula works beautifully on both cool and neutral undertones creating universally flattering natural results.
This N°9 medium spray tan solution delivers a gorgeous natural bronze that actually looks like natural sun exposure. The olive undertones are perfect for neutral and cool-toned skin. My clients with skin types II and III request this shade constantly.
I purchased the N°9 based on multiple spray tan artist recommendations and it has delivered beyond my expectations. Clients who were unsure about spray tan color now book regularly because they know the N°9 medium looks perfect.
In my spray tan practice I am incredibly picky about my formulas and This N°9 option is the clear winner. My skin type II and III clients consistently rave about how flattering and natural the golden color looks.
We were using another brand but have been unable to get it, so we tried this and the clients liked it.
This solution is awesome! I tried both the 9% and 12% and my customers have asked for it again and again. It flows on nicely and the bronzer makes my customers feel good instantly! When i first was getting familiar with Sjolie, the folks in customer service were extremely helpful…
