Post-spray settingSweat-resistantLess transferDeeper color

Your clients' biggest complaints? Their tan transfers to their clothes, fades too fast, and breaks down the second they start sweating. DMI solves all three.

DMI is a professional post-tan setting mist formulated with Dimethyl Isosorbide, a high-purity, plant-derived penetration enhancer used in advanced skincare and sunless tanning formulations. When misted over your client's spray tan immediately after application, DMI does two things that no standard tan can do on its own.

How it works:

First, it drives DHA deeper into the outer layers of the skin. Instead of the tanning solution sitting on the surface where it's vulnerable to sweat, friction, and rubbing, DMI helps push it into the skin so the color develops richer, more evenly, and lasts significantly longer.

Second, it forms a lightweight, invisible barrier over the tan. This barrier is what makes DMI so effective at resisting sweat and reducing bronzer transfer. Whether your client is walking outside in the Miami heat, attending an outdoor event, or just naturally runs warm, DMI helps prevent perspiration from breaking down the color. It also keeps bronzer from rubbing off onto clothing, sheets, and furniture, making it ideal for clients who want to get dressed in light or white clothing right after their session.

Think of it as a shield that sits on top of the tan, protecting the color underneath while the DHA works its way into the skin for a deeper, longer-lasting result.

Why your clients will love it:

  • Sweat-resistant protection that keeps the tan intact in heat and humidity
  • Enhanced DHA penetration for deeper color that develops more evenly and lasts longer
  • Significantly reduces bronzer transfer to clothes, sheets, and furniture
  • Lightweight, invisible finish that dries quickly with no sticky or heavy feeling
  • Perfect for clients wearing white or light-colored clothing after their session

Why you'll love offering it:

  • A premium upsell that clients will request by name after their first experience
  • Easy to bundle into your tan packages or offer as an add-on service
  • Works with any spray tan solution
  • Solves the top client complaints: transfer, fading, and sweat

How to Use:

Apply DMI immediately after your client's spray tan session. Using your spray gun, mist 1 to 2 oz evenly over the entire body. The more you apply, the stronger the protective barrier. Do not exceed 2 oz. Direct a high-speed fan toward your client for a minimum of 5 minutes to ensure full drying before they get dressed. Instruct your client to avoid touching or rubbing the skin until completely dry.


Pro Tip: Position DMI as a premium add-on service or bundle it into your most popular tan packages. Once your clients feel the difference, they won't want a tan without it.

Why we made this

“The biggest client complaints are always the same: the tan transfers to clothes, fades too fast, breaks down in heat. DMI solves all three — it drives the DHA deeper and shields the bronzer from sweat and friction. Once your clients feel it, they won't want a tan without it.”

How to use

For the technician.

SoBe Tan DMI - Lock & Shield
01

Finish the tan

Complete the spray tan session as normal. DMI is applied immediately after, while the bronzer is still on the surface of the skin.

02

Mist on top

Using your spray gun, mist 1–2 oz of DMI evenly over the entire body. More product = stronger barrier. Do not exceed 2 oz per client.

03

Dry it down

Direct a high-speed fan at the client for a minimum of 5 minutes. Full drying is critical — instruct client to avoid touching or rubbing the skin.

04

Send them off

Client can get dressed in light or white clothing without worrying about transfer. The DHA continues developing underneath the barrier for richer, longer-lasting color.

Fabiola's tip

“Position DMI as a premium add-on or bundle it into your top tan package. Clients will request it by name after one session.”

How DMI Works

Dimethyl Isosorbide drives DHA deeper into the outer skin layers (instead of sitting on the surface where sweat can lift it) AND forms a lightweight invisible barrier on top. Result: richer color that lasts, plus dramatically less bronzer transfer.
