SELECTED BY TENO
The Odyssée D'Afrique is the product that made us take MELYON seriously as a fragrance house, not just a skincare brand. Blackcurrant, vetiver and iris - complex, unexpected, far from the generic "fresh" or "floral" options that dominate the category. A fragrance that turns the shower into something worth pausing for.
Most detergents - even gentle ones - are formulated with everyday fabrics in mind. The Delicate Detergent starts from a different premise: the garments most worth caring for require a different approach. Wool and silk are protein-based fibres - the same enzymes that make a detergent effective on everyday stains gradually degrade their structure over repeated washes, causing pilling, loss of softness and irreversible fibre damage over time. By removing enzymes entirely, Tangent GC built a formula that cleans without that risk - the same clean plant-based chemistry, specifically validated for the fibres that don't forgive a wrong wash. The Yuzu fragrance - brighter and lighter than Kiyomi - feels like a natural extension of that care.
- Cleanses without stripping - skin feels clean and comfortable, not tight after rinsing
- Willow bark extract purifies gently without disrupting the skin's natural balance
- Polyquaternium-7 conditions the skin after rinsing - leaves it smooth without heaviness
- Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
The hydrating base of the formula - soothes the skin during cleansing rather than simply diluting the actives.
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract
Natural origin, gentle clarifying properties - the plant-based alternative to synthetic purifying agents.
Sodium PCA + Glycerin
Two complementary humectants - Sodium PCA attracts moisture from the environment, Glycerin seals it into the skin.
Polyquaternium-7
A lightweight conditioning agent - improves skin feel after rinsing without leaving residue or heaviness.
Founded in Sweden by Roger Dupé, MELYON brings together Scandinavian minimalism and a deeper cultural perspective on care. The brand draws inspiration from African heritage and rituals, reinterpreting them through modern skincare formulations designed for everyday use.
