Collection: Lycon Skincare & Body Care

Australian professional beauty & skincare since 1968

Lycon is an Australian beauty & skincare brand that originated in 1968 when Lydia Jordane, as a teenager, prepared her first wax on her family’s stove. What started as an experiment in a kitchen in Brisbane grew into an internationally recognized brand used in over 80 countries by professional salons and spas. Lycon has long been known for its corrective skincare and its high-quality formulas that combine science and nature for visible results.

For those who want salon-quality at home, Lycon developed an extensive home line that follows the same professional standards. From targeted care for ingrown hairs and intimate areas to self-tanners, hand and body lotions, sugar scrubs, and facial care: the Lycon home line offers a targeted solution for every skin need. Explore the full range available in Europe through GlamSkin below.

Why choose Lycon?

Lycon stands out due to its unusual combination of a scientific foundation in cosmetic production (the family business in cosmetics dates back to 1935) and a professional salon practice that has built worldwide trust since 1978. All products are developed, tested, and produced in-house in Brisbane, Australia, ensuring consistent quality and reliability. The formulas are tailored to a wide range of skin types and concerns, using ethically sourced ingredients and without animal testing. The fact that Lycon products have won multiple beautyheaven Best in Beauty Awards (including for the Ingrown-X-it Solution in 2018 and the X-it Mitt in 2023) underscores the brand’s position.

The story behind the brand

The story of Lycon begins with founder and CEO Lydia Jordane, an internationally recognized beautician who emigrated from Europe to Australia in 1964. Her family had been active in cosmetic production since 1935, and Lydia literally grew up in her father’s laboratory. In 1968, as a teenager, she secretly developed her first hot wax on the family stove, using ingredients she secretly ordered through her father’s cosmetics company. Ten years later, in 1978, Lydia’s Wax was commercially sold; in 1980 the company was named LYCON Cosmetics.

Growth followed a clear timeline: in 1995 Lycon launched Wax-cellence (the retail wax line), in 2006 the Ingrown-X-it line for ingrown hairs, in 2007 Spa Essentials (sugar scrubs and body lotions), in 2011 LYCO-BRONZE (self-tanner), in 2017 PINKINI (intimate care), and in 2021 the crowning achievement, the Lycon Skin facial care line. In 2018 the brand celebrated its 40th anniversary and in 2022 Lycon reached the milestone of exporting to more than 80 countries. The headquarters and production facility are located in Pinkenba, a suburb of Brisbane.

The formula philosophy

Lycon’s formulas rest on four core principles. First: science and nature. Each formula combines proven active ingredients such as salicylic acid, lactic acid, Pro-Vitamin B5, and hyaluronic acid with natural plant extracts like tea tree oil, arnica, chamomile, pomegranate, and jojoba. Second: ethical and high quality. Lycon chooses premium-grade, ethically sourced ingredients and does not conduct animal testing. Third: professional standard, for home use. The home line is formulated to the same professional standards used in salons, so you can achieve salon results at home. And fourth: Australian Made & Owned — everything is developed and produced in-house in Brisbane, with strict internal quality control at every production stage. The products are cruelty-free and in many cases vegan and gluten-free.

The product lines

Lycon’s range is built around six themed lines available to you in Europe through GlamSkin. Each line has its own focus and together they form a complete care routine for face and body, from cleansing to hair removal and aftercare.

Lycon Skin: The facial care line launched in 2021. Result-driven formulas for anti-aging, sensitive skin, dryness, dull skin, and pigmentation spots, including well-known products like the Revitalising Hyaluronic + B5 Booster Serum and the Multi-Protection Day Cream SPF15.

Sugar Scrubs: The Spa Essentials line with luxurious body scrubs in six scents, developed to loosen dead skin cells, prevent ingrown hairs, and prepare the skin for further care. A staple of a professional spa experience at home.

Hand & Body Lotions: Fast-absorbing hand and body lotions in six enticing scents, with Pro-Vitamin B5, jojoba, and Vitamin E. They care for hands, body, and cuticles and suit every mood, from uplifting to relaxing.

PINKINI Brazilian Care: Specially developed for the intimate area. Gentle, targeted care for zones that require extra softness and purity, such as after a Brazilian wax.

Wax-cellence Home Waxing: The home line of the world-famous Lycon wax formulas, so you can wax at home with professional quality — without needing to go to the salon.

Lyco Bronze Self-Tanning: A natural self-tanner line that gives you a healthy glow safely without sun exposure.

Lycon sale

Sometimes people look for a Lycon sale, a Lycon offer, or a Lycon discount. Understandable, as quality comes at a price. At the same time, Lycon formulas are so concentrated and effective that you need little product per application — an investment that often pays off more in the long term than a quick discount. Therefore, we explicitly position GlamSkin not as a discount or bargain store, but as a place where you find quality that truly works.

Lycon is suitable for anyone looking for salon quality at home: from those who suffer from ingrown hairs after hair removal to those who need a complete body care routine, a safe self-tanner, or result-driven facial care. The formulas are tailored to a wide range of skin types and concerns.

What is the scientific basis of Lycon?

Lycon develops and produces in-house in Brisbane since 1978, with cosmetic production in the family since 1935. Each formula combines proven active ingredients with natural plant extracts and is tested to meet international safety and quality standards. The brand is used in top salons in more than 80 countries.

How long before I see results?

That depends on the product and your skin. The Ingrown-X-it line often shows a visible reduction in bumps and ingrown hairs within a few days to two weeks. For anti-aging products from the Lycon Skin line, we recommend at least four to six weeks of consistent use.

Does Lycon conduct animal testing?

No. Lycon does not conduct animal testing and is cruelty-free. Many products are also vegan and gluten-free.

How long are Lycon products shelf-stable?

Unopened, most Lycon products have a shelf life of at least 24 months. After opening, the packaging shows a PAO symbol (Period After Opening) indicating how long the product remains optimal after opening, usually between 6 and 12 months.

Can I combine multiple Lycon lines in one routine?

Absolutely. The lines are designed to complement each other: for example, a Sugar Scrub to exfoliate, followed by a Hand & Body Lotion for hydration, and the Ingrown-X-it line for targeted aftercare. For the face, combine the Lycon Skin products in a fixed morning and evening routine.
