Luminance Skincare is an Organic & Vegan skincare line run by a small passionate team of individuals who strive to produce the best products possible that are truly pure. I received these products over the summer after they launched their new packaging and have enjoyed this luxurious yet affordable brand. For the price point I feel the selection of ingredients is rather impressive and the products performed to my expectations.
Delicate Facial Cleanser
Luminance understands the importance of pH balanced products and this delicate organic facial cleanser is a cream-oil hybrid cleanser that’s properly balanced. The herbal extracts and oils separate from the soap part and with a few shakes it turns into a beautiful creamy cleanser that feels deeply nourishing to my skin. As cleansing is the most important skincare step, I take at least a good 5 minutes to cleanse my skin (I oil cleanse first to remove all makeup) and I find that this super rich cleanser makes it an enjoyable experience.
Ingredients (All Organic or wild-crafted)
RO Filtered water. Saponified oils: Argan, Coconut, Avocado, Apricot Kernal, Almond, and Sunflower. Nourishing Oils: Jojoba, Kukui, Borage, and Grapeseed. Extractions: Tamarind Seed, Tamanu.
Rosewater Toner
This toner is made of pure rosewater (not a hydrosol) and I use this after the cleanser to rebalance the pH of my skin. I also spray it throughout the day if I’m at home to keep my skin hydrated and to remove traces of makeup after double cleansing. I also like how large and heavy the bottle feels.
Deep Hydration Moisturizer
If you’re looking for a water based creamy moisturizer, this one starts with a base of Organic Lavender Water and is blended with Argan, Kukui Nut, Borage, Sunflower and Meadow Foam Oils and Co2 extracted organic herbals. The texture is perfectly smooth and creamy, feels light yet rich enough to provide deep hydration and has a lovely subtle honey-floral scent. I liked using this as a daytime moisturizer underneath SPF and makeup.
Ingredients (All Organic or Wild-Crafted)
Oils: Apricot Kernel, Grapeseed, Borage, Jojoba, Avocado, Sunflower Seed, Sweet Almond. Emulsifier: Sorbitan Olivate. Organic Lavender Water. RO Filtered Water. Herbal Extracts: Sea Buckhorn, Holy Basil, Calendula, & Rose Hips. Red Radish Root to Preserve
Antioxidant Spray
The Organic Antioxidant spray is a blend of naturally occurring and stable floral antioxidants and vitamin C with organic rosewater and Borage Oil to help dissolve already coagulated sebum. The Blue Chamomile essential oil gives it a beautiful blue shade and while the scent is not my favorite, I love taking the utmost care of my skin by refreshing and protecting it with an extra splash of antioxidants throughout the day.
Ingredients
RO Filtered Water & Lavender Water. German Blue Chamomile Essential Oil, Borage Oil, Sun Flower Oil, Rice Bran Oil. Matrix Peptide, Tamarind Seed. Preserved with Red Radish Root. Chia Seed and Alge to gel.
Anjou Pear Soap
The Anjou Pear soap smells wonderfully like pear and is filled with nourishing oils, clays and essential oils. It’s quite a large bar for $6 and I currently have it sitting pretty on the soap dish in my bathroom. Luminance’s soaps are made of 12 exotic seed and fruit skin oils and in small, temperature controlled batches. They make a variety of sophisticated scents like Bulgarian Rose Lavender, Clary Sage, and Lime Cedar.
Ingredients
(All Organic or Wild-Crafted): Saponified Oils Coconut, Palm, Sweet Almond, Avocado, Apricot Kernal, Macadamia, Kukui, Argan, and Jojoba, RO Filtered Water; Clays: White Bentonite, French Green & Red Moroccan. Essential Oils: Clary Sage, Patchouli, Bay Laurel, Jasmine, Tangerine and Ylang Ylang
Tangerine Lip Balm
I like how buttery this lip balm is and though it’s filled with a variety of oils it doesn’t feel oily and doesn’t dry out my lips either. The tangerine scent is subtle and the peppermint is refreshing yet not overly strong.
Ingredients
Floral Waxes, Tamanu Oil, Tamarind Seed Oil, Kukui Nut Oil, Macadamia Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Macadamia Oil, Avocado Oil, Palm Kernel Oil, Coconut Oil and Castor Oil. Rosemary Seed Extract & 100% Pure Essential Oils For Scent and Flavor: Lemon, Tangerine and Peppermint.
