Q: Is LYCON Skin non-comedogenic and what makes it non-comedogenic?

A: When we are formulating LYCON Skin products, one of the ingredient selection filters we use allows us to make sure we are keeping comedogenicity risk very low. As such, the overall ingredient properties, formulation choices and the interaction of the ingredients are carefully considered and monitored. In addition we also perform in-house panel testing of potential formulas and include panelists with blemish-prone skin. We have found that LYCON Skin formulas have very low comedogenic risk. However, we can’t claim zero risk, of course, as rare individuals can have varied responses that can be ‘outliers’ compared to the general population.

Q: Are parabens/sulphates etc used? Is this clean skincare?

A: LYCON Skin uses neither parabens nor sulphates. ‘Clean’ skincare is ultimately in the eye of the beholder, but we heavily rely on gentle natural and naturally-derived ingredients in formulating our range. We haven’t uncritically bowed down to every last Tik Tok fad though – we have remained rational and balanced in creating the LYCON Skin range which focusses on natural but effective ingredients.

Q: Why are Australian plum extracts beneficial?

A: Some of our LYCON Skin products incorporate a blend of three indigenous Australian plum extracts, Kakadu, Burdekin and Illawarra. These plums are regarded as ‘superfruits’ due to their remarkably high antioxidant levels. For example, Kakadu plum has about 100x the Vitamin C content of oranges, while the anthocyanin-rich Illawarra plum has about 7x the antioxidant level of blueberries. This blend of Australian superfruits provides potent antioxidant activity (to protect your skin from damaging free radicals) and it also contributes to hydration and the activation of anti-ageing processes (for instance, Vitamin C boosts collagen production).
