At-home tanning brand Dolce Glow has raised an $11 million series A funding round.
Led by Cavu Consumer Partners — which has backed Poppi, Vital Proteins, Whoop and other buzzy brands — the round featured participation from more than 10 celebrities and influencers including Sofia Richie Grainge, Olivia Culpo, Kensington Tillo, Cierra Ramirez, Yris Palmer, Gabi Moura and more.
The round marks a significant milestone for the fast-growing brand, which was founded in 2015 as a tanning company by Isabel Alysa — now a go-to tanner for stars including Kim Kardashian and Alix Earle — and entered at-home products in 2021.
Today Dolce Glow is best known for its assortment of self-tanning mists, mousses and serums, with bestsellers including the $26 Acqua Hydrating Face Mist and $49 Lusso Self-Tanning Mousse, as well as a growing collection of hybrid tanning makeup products.
“From my earliest house-call clients to seeing Dolce Glow on the shelves of leading beauty retailers, our mission has always been the same: to help people feel confident in their own skin,” said Alysa, who is also chief executive officer of the brand, in a statement. “Cavu understood both the category opportunity and the emotional connection behind this brand. They are not just investing in where Dolce Glow is today — they share our vision for what this brand can become.”
