How It Started

It Started With a Sunburn
and a Stupid Question.

Three buddies in Reading, PA were sick of looking like ghosts every winter. One of them asked, "Why isn't there a self-tanner that's actually made for guys?" Nobody had a good answer. So they decided to make one.

No focus groups. No corporate playbook. Just a lot of trial and error, some DHA from sugar beets, and a brand that doesn't take itself too seriously. By March 2021, Bro Glo was live - and guys couldn't get enough.

The Idea That Started It All

Three buddies from Reading, PA were tired of looking like ghosts every winter. One of them asked, "Why isn't there a self-tanner actually made for guys?" Nobody had a good answer. So they decided to make one themselves.

Bro Glo Goes Live

The brand officially launched. First orders started rolling in and word spread fast - turns out guys actually want to look good. They just needed a product that wasn't a women's tanner with a blue label slapped on it.

The Shark Tank Moment

Shark Tank reached out in early 2024. The bros filmed in June and aired in January 2025. Jaron took his shirt off. Mr. Wonderful tanned Jaron live on stage. Laurie loved the packaging and ingredients. Every single Shark made an offer. Mark Cuban closed the deal.
