1. What is Mykonian Sun?
Mykonian Sun is a premium, science-driven sun care brand that works alongside sunscreen to defend skin at a cellular level.
Our products combine powerful antioxidants with skin-nourishing actives to protect, support, and enhance your skin’s natural colour under the sun.
2. What is Lipochroman® and how does it help my skin in the sun?
Lipochroman® is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals — unstable molecules triggered by UV exposure and pollution.
These free radicals accelerate skin aging, dullness, and loss of elasticity. By neutralizing them, Lipochroman® helps protect against oxidative stress caused by the sun, keeping skin healthier, smoother, and more resilient.
In short: It shields your skin from sun-induced damage and premature aging.

Q: Why not just use SPF instead of Lipochroman™?
A: SPF is essential, it protects your skin from UV rays, which are one of the main causes of damage.
But SPF only works on the surface, creating a barrier that blocks or absorbs sunlight.
Even when you’re wearing sunscreen, your skin is still exposed to other daily stressors like pollution, blue light, and oxidative stress, all of which can cause DNA damage, inflammation, and premature aging that SPF alone can’t prevent.
That’s where Lipochroman™ comes in. It’s one of the most powerful antioxidants in skincare, up to 3x stronger than Vitamin E, and works within the skin to neutralize free radicals, protect cellular DNA, and preserve collagen.
In short:
🌞 SPF protects from UV damage.
🧬 Lipochroman™ protects from everything else.
Together, they provide 360° defense, for healthier, stronger, radiant skin.
3. Why is the bottle smaller now?
Our upgraded formula is now more concentrated, so you need less product per use to achieve the same (or better) results.
We’ve also added Lipochroman®, a clinically proven antioxidant that provides powerful cellular defense.
This means every drop works harder for your skin, while the smaller bottle helps reduce excess packaging and makes Mykonian Sun more travel-friendly and sustainable.
Less product, more performance — and better for the planet.
4. What is Melanoil™ and what does it do for my skin in the sun?
Melanoil™ is a tanning-supporting active that works with your skin’s natural melanin production.
Melanin gives skin its color and acts as a natural UV shield. By boosting melanin activity, Melanoil™ helps your skin develop a deeper, more even tan while strengthening its natural defense against sun exposure.
In short: It enhances your glow while improving your skin’s built-in sun protection.
5. Is Mykonian Sun a sunscreen?
No. Mykonian Sun is not a sunscreen.
It’s designed to complement SPF by adding an extra layer of antioxidant defense, helping fight oxidative stress while enhancing your skin’s natural glow and resilience.
6. Do I still need to wear SPF?
Absolutely. Sunscreen is essential to protect against UV damage.
Mykonian Sun works with your SPF, creating a more complete skin defense ritual that supports skin health while you enjoy the sun responsibly.
7. How is this different from tanning oils?
Unlike traditional tanning oils, our formulas prioritise skin protection and health.
They enhance natural colour for a golden glow but are packed with antioxidants to defend against oxidative stress, so you can tan more consciously.
8. Who is Mykonian Sun for?
Anyone who loves the sun, wants to glow naturally, and values their skin’s long-term health — from beach lovers and travellers to those simply keeping their complexion luminous year-round.
9. Can I use Mykonian Sun every day?

13. Will this help me tan faster?
Some products, like our glow-enhancing oils, support your skin’s natural melanin response.
This can help you achieve a deeper, more even colour with less sun time — while still encouraging conscious sun habits.
14. Can I use it after sun exposure?

They support skin recovery while neutralizing free radical build-up, reminding you to limit prolonged sun exposure.
