The Founder

I’m Zoe, a see-through-pale redhead, single mum, and all-round tanning addict. I accidentally stumbled into becoming a professional tanner more than 10 years ago when no one could tan me properly. I was paying good money to look like I’d rolled in orange mud. They just didn’t get me.

So I bought my own tent, tanning solution, and spray gun. I was terrible at first, but I didn’t give up. After a lot of practice (and a lot of very patient friends), I finally nailed the art of a natural-looking golden glo.

Solving the Sticky Tan Problem

The biggest complaint from my clients was always the same: that sticky, uncomfortable feeling after a tan. I found a powder product that helped a little, but it went everywhere. Plus, it wasn’t exactly ideal brushing powder into all sorts of areas!

There had to be an easier way. Turns out there wasn’t, so I decided to create one myself.

With the support of my friend and client Bridgett Roccisano, co-founder of Booby Tape, I started my product journey. She gave me invaluable advice and encouragement to bring my idea to life.

I wanted my products made entirely in Australia, down to the can, and I wanted them free from toxins and nasties. After losing my beautiful mum to cancer in 2014, I became determined to make products that were kind to the skin and safe for the body.

Made With Love (and Science) in Australia

I wasn’t settling for anything less than perfect. I tested countless manufacturers, went through many samples, and spent 14 months of relentless testing until I got it right — a self-tan setting spray in a can.

That moment changed everything. I knew this wasn’t just a solution for my clients; it was something every self-tan lover needed. And just like that, Ohh My Glo was born.

Our Self-Tan Setting Spray takes away the sticky feeling after tanning, stops transfer onto clothing, couches, and sheets, and even reduces sweating while your tan develops. You can spray it directly onto a toilet seat to stop tan marks — and yes, Mamamia loved that one!

Growing the Glo

Since launching in 2022, Ohh My Glo has expanded into a full tanning range. We now have four colour-correcting self-tanning mousses to suit every skin tone. They’re unscented, odour-eliminating, packed with skin-loving ingredients, and glide on for a flawless, streak-free finish.

We also created a 2-in-1 Tan Remover & Skin Primer that melts away old tan in minutes without harsh scrubbing or that awful smell. It’s gentle, packed with natural and organic ingredients, and preps your skin for a longer-lasting glow.

To make tanning even easier, our accessories range includes a waterproof tanning mitt, back applicator, exfoliating glove, and ultra-soft kabuki brush. Because getting a perfect tan shouldn’t be complicated.

Empowering Through the Glo Gang

As a single mum, I want to show my daughter that women can be independent, strong, and successful. Building Ohh My Glo has taken a lot of hard work and sleepless nights, but seeing my customers love the products makes it all worth it.

Ohh My Glo has grown into a family - a community of confident, glowing humans who care about what they put on their skin.

Join me on this journey where tanning is simple, skin-loving, and empowering.

Lots of love and way fewer sticky tans,
