Why Work Here?

You join a clean, stable, and growth-oriented organization that blends beauty, science, and technology to create high-end skincare and spray solutions. The company offers a structured, tiered pay system with clear paths for advancement, allowing you to increase your earnings as you develop new skills—even while working in a contract-to-hire capacity. You benefit from strong total rewards, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, fully paid life and disability insurance with a short waiting period, a 401(k) with company match up to 4%, and 10 paid holidays once hired permanently. The culture emphasizes long-term tenure, with many employees choosing to stay and take advantage of ongoing development opportunities, monthly employee appreciation events, and occasional provided lunches. You also gain exposure to innovative skincare and beauty technologies, including demo booths and a growing product line that extends beyond spray tanning, all within a company that is actively shaping the future of beauty and wellness.

Work Environment

You work in a very clean, temperature-controlled manufacturing environment focused on full-body skincare and spray solutions. The compounding department is small, with a team of four tenured colleagues who collaborate closely and maintain a positive, supportive atmosphere. The facility uses large 500–2,500 gallon tanks, pumps, drums, totes, and spray-related equipment, as well as tow motors for moving 500-gallon drums to high storage locations. The work is physically demanding, involving regular lifting up to 60 pounds, rolling heavy drums, and climbing an 8-foot ladder with a platform and handrails to access tank openings. The environment has a light odor similar to over-the-counter self-tanning creams or lotions. The schedule is a first-shift role, Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with potential Friday shifts from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. as needed. The broader organization powers millions of spray treatments annually through a global network of salons, spas, fitness clubs, and beauty professionals, and leverages industry-leading tanning equipment and spray booths. Dress expectations align with a clean, production-focused setting, prioritizing safety, comfort, and compliance with GMP and SOP requirements.
