Why we
made this.
We started ELION because we kept watching the work we'd chosen, sat for, and paid carefully for — fade before its time.
A few years of ordinary light. Daily commutes. Cafés with the wrong window seat. The lines softened. The colour drifted. The contrast flattened. Touch-ups cost hundreds and took weeks to heal. And the sunscreens we'd already trusted for our skin left chalk across darker work, sat greasy under clothing, or quietly refused to disappear into the tattoo at all.
None of them had been made with tattooed skin in mind. We made ELION because they should have been.
What
disappears.
We wanted a daily-wear formulation that did less to be seen: nothing chalky, nothing oily, nothing that pulled at clothing or competed with the work beneath it. Broad-spectrum UV filters paired with a tattoo-supportive skin complex, calibrated to vanish on every tone — blackwork included.
Made in small batches in Italy. Built for the years ahead, not for one afternoon at the beach. The work we wear was never meant to fade quietly; the protection over it should be quieter still.
Some things, once chosen, are meant to stay.
We make for those things.
Palermo · Summer
A system,
in time.
What began with sunscreen is becoming a complete care system for tattooed skin. Aftercare. Oils. Balms.
Care for the moments after a session, and for the years that follow it — held to the same standard, made in the same studio. The Collection is intentionally small. Each addition takes the time it takes. Nothing is released until we would wear it over our own work.
The Mediterranean · ELION
Made for
what lasts.
Two formats now. More in time. Built for the daily light that gives nothing back — and the work that deserves more than the sunscreen made for the beach.
