Mykonian Sun Science Behind The Glow

Our Formulation Philosophy

Tanning,
reconsidered.

At Mykonian Sun, every ingredient has a purpose. Rather than relying on basic tanning oils alone, we've selected advanced cosmetic ingredients used within modern skincare to support your skin throughout the tanning ritual.

✦ Our approach brings together tanning-support actives, antioxidant technology, hydration and nourishing botanical oils in one considered system.
Melinoil natural melanin activity and tanning response

01 / Peptide Technology

Melinoil®

Supporting your skin's natural tanning response

Melinoil® is an advanced cosmetic active selected to support the skin's natural melanin activity — the biological process involved in the appearance of a tan.

By complementing the skin's natural tanning response, Melinoil® forms a central part of our approach to achieving a richer, more even-looking glow.

Lipochroman®

Intelligent antioxidant support

During sun exposure, the skin can experience oxidative stress associated with unstable molecules known as free radicals.

Lipochroman® is an advanced antioxidant ingredient selected to help neutralise free radicals and provide antioxidant support as part of the Mykonian Sun formula.
