Melyon
Melyon, a Swedish skincare brand founded in Stockholm by Roger Dupé, aims to be an inclusive force in an exclusive industry. The skincare line is made with people of colour in mind, focusing on conditions commonly found among darker skin tones while still being suitable for most skin types. Roger Dupé was born in 1991 to West African immigrant parents in Sweden. Even with their working-class background, they always made sure that his skin was well taken care of – a form of love that transformed into feeling excellence that no one could take away from him. In later years Roger depended on the knowledge passed down by his parents, the well-being and confidence of good skin routines. This planted the seed of one day, creating his skincare brand, Melyon. Melyon is Roger´s way of paying homage to his upbringing, by offering products that make people, regardless of their skin tone and status, feel included. Melyon interprets beauty through diversity. Excellence has as many faces as there are people – Melyon will show the world yours. With roots in West Africa, the Scandinavian lifestyle brand combines the best from nature and science, to create safe, environmentally-friendly and ethical products with proven results. By telling authentic stories through a line of skincare developed for people who deviate from today’s norms, Melyon aims to contribute to more progressive beauty standards; and in the long run work for a society where beauty is perceived through diversity.
