Our LYCON Cosmetics Story

The LYCON brand was established in Australia in 1978 by Lydia Jordane, an internationally acclaimed beauty therapist. Cosmetics manufacturing has been a family concern since 1935, which Lydia was exposed to and involved in since taking her first footsteps, while getting under her father’s feet in his laboratory. After much research and secretly ordering ingredients under the guise of her father’s cosmetic chemist business, Lydia created her first wax in secret on the family kitchen stove in 1968, when she was just a teenager!

It wasn’t long before LYCON became a well-known and sought after brand in Australia, with a well-deserved reputation as the Crème de la Crème of hair removal waxes around the world. LYCON is the trusted wax of choice in the top spas and salons in over 75 countries.

Formulated with the finest natural resins, bees wax and sensuous aromatherapy, LYCON delivers superior results, removing stubborn hair as short as 1mm like no other. At the same time, LYCON low temperature, super pliable and gentle waxes, provide a nurturing and skin conditioning treatment for extra client comfort, even on the most sensitive skins. Professionals use LYCON with confidence, to achieve completely hair free results for all types of hair growth, every-time. LYCON enjoys unparalleled recognition worldwide for unsurpassed product quality, training and professional integrity.

The range consists of an array of LYCON traditional hot waxes based on Lydia’s original hot wax formula, the unique LYCOJET hot waxes, LYCOtec Film Wax, along with two amazing hybrid waxes LYCOdream and Pinkini! LYCON has also developed a number of strip waxes, which remove hairs with ease and no irritation. All are complemented with the comprehensive and harmonising LYCON pre and post waxing lotions, which make waxing practically painless to create a pleasurable and efficient experience for both clients and therapists.

In addition the LYCON Spa Essentials body care range provides corrective solutions for home use, in between salon treatments. LYCON quality waxes come in many exciting colours and scents, which allow professionals to tailor the best waxing combination for total customer satisfaction.

LYCON has been setting waxing standards on a global scale for decades and remains the market leader with many World First innovations.
