At Luminar, our commitment to clean effective skincare goes beyond what’s trending. We lean into the essence of nature carefully sourcing plant powered ingredients that bring real results. You’ll find botanical oils at the heart of our formulations but alongside them are concentrated plant extracts that elevate every drop of our products.
If you’ve ever scanned an ingredient list and wondered what those leaf root and flower names are doing in your serum or cleanser this one’s for you.
Why Plant Extracts?
Plants have evolved over time to survive extreme conditions defending themselves from environmental stressors like sun drought and pathogens. Their natural defense mechanisms translate beautifully into skincare. Rich in antioxidants flavonoids vitamins and calming compounds plant extracts support the skin’s natural barrier soothe inflammation and help restore balance.
Unlike synthetic actives that serve a singular function plant extracts multitask. They nourish brighten calm and protect all while working in harmony with your skin. And when paired with ozone infusion their benefits are amplified for visible lasting radiance.
We select each extract with intention choosing those backed by both tradition and science to bring real results gently and effectively.
