On their website they list an address in Florida as well as a US based number. It also stayed you can send it back, AT NO COST TO YOU, if you aren't satisfied. I dud not like either of the under eye concealers that I purchased. I co tasted them about returning it. They then gave me an address to mail it, at my cost, to CHINA. I sent back a screenshot of their webpage and they still did not honor it. They offered me a 70% refund and I don't have to return it. I accepted, because I was tired of dealing with them. They are liars and frauds!! Do not trust them! read more

This company is a complete scam. They advertise the product as offering risk-free returns but the product is not fit for purpose at all - my husband said it made me look like I had a black eye - and when I went to return it I was told I had to mail it to an address in China (NOT the US address on their site) at my own expense to receive the refund. I was willing to mail the product if shipping had been covered but it is not so this purchase is not risk-free. I am absolutely furious that I wasted $60 on a useless product and that the company lied about their policy. Do not fall for their Instagram ads - this is a complete scam from a fraudulent company. read more

0 Star! The product is extremely pink and unwearable. Whether you wear makeup or not, you'll look sunburned. The color is far too intense and doesn't suit most skin tones, making it impossible to use without looking off. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Additionally, customer service is unacceptable. I submitted a request for a return form on December 11th, and it is now December 30th with no assistance in return label. The website clearly states a 30-day generous return policy, yet I feel as though they're stalling in an attempt to prevent me from returning the product. read more

No I don't recommend this business. They advertise that you can return it for any reason. Well, if you open it and try it you can't return it. Read the return policy very carefully. The product is crap. It is just like any other cheap powder. It cakes on your skin really bad. It's very expensive too. I spent about $80.00. Don't go there. read more

Don't fall for the scam. Product is terrible and the "guarantee" is that you have to pay for shipping back to China (at a cost greater than the product itself. read more

Terrible product. Makes my skin look dry and sunburned. Have sent repeated emails about it asking for a refund. ZERO responses. The $14 puff is an absolute joke! I can buy a 12 pack of the same puff at Walmart for 5.99. If I could leave no stars I would but for some reason that's not allowed. If I don't receive a full refund I will spend a few moments everyday warning others about this company. I have all the time in the world. read more

I love..love.. love luminance. Not only do their products work, but they're organic. Among my favorites is their foot cream..Thick and luxurious.. read more

A friend of mine brought me here because she let me sample her face products and I fell in love with it! I purchased quite a few items and I'm very happy with the outcome of how my skin feels ...definitely would commend these products !! They are all natural ingredients and the owner is very nice and informative read more

I love this company and their products. From the delicate face cleanser to the nourishing serum, acne serum to their amazing soap(try Marzipan). My skin loves it. I highly recommend ordering the sample kit for less than $10 you can try them for yourself. I'm very happy I found luminance and love that they are a local business as well. read more

Local, handmade, vegan, and high quality - this is as good as it gets! A coworker who knows I drool over all things beauty recommended her lovely local beauty supply shop Luminance, and I was thrilled to check them out online and find their deal to receive 3 large samples of their products for free, I only had to pay for shipping! That shows tremendous confidence in their products, and their commitment to excellence in letting new customers experience their products without the larger price tag. I was told my little bag of goodies would arrive in 5 days, it arrived in 3! I love all things rose, and I was delighted two of the three products were rose scented and based. For only $3 and change, I received large samples of their rosewater facial toner, their rose cleanser, and their moisturizer. The packaging is great quality, and the products are fantastic. In being vegan, the scents are very pure. The rosewater toner is bliss, I'm using it sparingly because I just want it to last forever! Spritzing my face with that luscious scent and feeling - it sounds silly, but it makes me feel like this is one of the best things about being a woman. A lot of women look on makeup and skincare as frivolous or vain, but it isn't - it lets you really be your best self, and everyone knows when you feel good, you look good! The rose cleanser is also very nice and works well without needing to use too much, it removes makeup very effectively and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry afterwards. The only product I wouldn't purchase a full size of is the moisturizer, and that's only my personal preference and not a knock on the product. I don't love the way it smells, and it has a real thickness to it. It would be heaven on dry skin but on my normal/combo skin, it feels a bit too heavy. Support this glorious local business and please do give Luminance a try! Snoop around their website to find that great sample deal to get a taste of all the good they can do for your skin, and your well-being! I am definitely a fan. read more

These skin care products are natural, beautiful and feel so very good. Dare I say that if you need hand sanitizer now, buy it here! Get some along with creams and soaps and find your way back to a little joy. read more

Best thing money can buy for your skin. I have been using their products on and off for years. I don't know why I used any thing different because their products are the best. I recommend everyone try the sample set, you will not be disappointed. read more

Im so happy I found Luminance. I've been able to replace almost all of my beauty products with their line. No only are they natural and cost effective the products work better than most of my expensive products. My skin went from dry and red to calm and smooth. I've recently added their sunscreen and deodorant to my collection and was pleasantly surprised how well they worked. Their staff is always very helpful to answer all my questions. My only wish is they come out with a makeup line *hint *hint ;) read more

I have very sensitive skin, and recently entered the age where I am in battle with both acne and wrinkles simultaneously (at 32 - this is a cruel joke, right?). I have a friend at work who sells Rodan + Fields products and I somehow ended up with a "Soothe" regimen. After giving it a good go for a month, I ended up returning it frustrated, with the added bonus of now rashy skin! Desperate I took to Facebook to ask my girlfriends, "What is your favorite skin care line? Bonus points for Natural and/or Organic!" Two of my very wise girlfriends replied "Luminance!!!!!" so I decided to give their sample kit a go. Boy was I in for a treat. Beautifully packaged even for a sample with a warm note and directions from their founder, Kim. The cleanser is a spray which you lather in your hands - this stuff will apparently last forever because for me three sprays does the trick. It has a lovely citrus smell and leaves your skin feeling clean and *nourished* and doesn't leave any dulling or drying residue. But next, is my favorite part.. THE TONER. OMG the TONER. Do you want to close your eyes and imagine you're in a lush rose garden with the sea spraying on your face? Yeah, me too. This stuff is absolutely divine. I spray it on and let it dry while I brush my teeth. I like to enjoy this step for as long as possible, which has really improved my oral hygeine as well, haha. And lastly, the a-little-goes-a-long-way luscious moisturizer. Less than a dime size is more than enough for my face and neck and makes a great base for makeup afterward. Overall, if you cannot tell - I LOVE this stuff. I am almost out of my sample and can't wait to visit their storefront and try even more products. Kim has nailed it, and I sure hope this business is around for the long haul. Supporting local business - one that is environment and health conscious as well just makes my heart sing. Oh, and guess what? That rash I got from the R+F was gone within a couple days and I have had lots of compliments on my skin recently. My skin thanks you, Luminance! You have a lifelong customer so please keep on doing what you're doing! read more

I use this product daily!! Life changer. I've noticed such a difference -- no breakouts! Try it all! read more

I love Luminance! I have searched high and low, and spent way too much money trying to find the most pure and effective skin care products. I was introduced to Luminance through an esthetician. I now use their line exclusively. I am in love with their facial products for mature skin, their sunscreen, body butter and now they have lipstick! When I order from them, they usually send a sample, or something extra. Amazing people with an incredibly pure and exquisite product line. Their gift boxes are so gorgeous. Highly recommend! read more

Luminance products changed my life. I love the Acne Serum so much, I want to take a bath in it! Some other favorites are: Rosewater Toner, Hair Serum, Nite Skin Butter, Holy Cacao!, and Exfoliating Mask. Now they make hand sanitizer! I've tried just about every product they offer and am never disappointed. If you want your skin to glow, give them a try! read more

The glass jar for the deep hydrating facial cream was always in a 2 ounce glass jar. The new "biodegradable" pump bottle is not, although it says it's 2 ounces. Actually it is 1.73 ounces, and there's not way it has not been thinned out/diluted! This is very dishonest. Aren't the containers supposed to have honest labeling?You can check it yourself - fill a used pump bottle to the top and pour it into a 2 ounce jar, it is about 25% less volume. Or, you can weigh the liquid on a kitchen scale and see it's only 1.73ounces. Shameful. read more

I feel so grateful to have found Luminance Skincare products. I am vegan so I refuse to use anything that contains animal products or are tested on animals. I also have incredibly sensitive skin and believe that everything I put on my skin ends up in my body. So you can see the dilemma I've faced finding good, effective products. I noticed Luminance on Twitter & Facebook and decided to do my research and learn more! The products are handmade in the Bay Area by Kim E. who started this company in response to his wife's health. She was highly sensitive to the toxic products that much of our health, beauty and cosmetics products contain. He opened a studio in Benicia a few years ago and began creating! Kim sells his skincare products at a couple Farmer's Markets and online. His pricing is surprisingly affordable compared to other organic, toxin-free skincare companies and his return policy is very fair. Being able to support a local company is one of my favorite things! I've tried virtually every product he offers from his deodorant to moisturizer to sunscreen to cleanser to facial serum and have found that at least 75% of his products are phenomenal for me. For someone with such sensitive skin, this has been a huge win! I'm so relieved that my search for healthy, clean skincare has finally reached a successful conclusion! read more

See all

My first visit at Luminance and what a joy. I am impressed with the products and the love and care that goes into each. I purchased the Acne Set for my granddaughter. Will let you know how it works after she tries it for a while. I also got sunscreen, moisturizer and other products for myself. Love, love the fresh clean scent and how my skin felt after washing my face with their gentle cleanser, followed with the blissful scent of their Rosewater Tonic... wow! Want to try other products they have. Prices are GREAT! Thank you Kim and Elena for your generosity in time spent with us, the generous portions of samples you gave us, and educating us on your products. We'll be back! Great customer service and a great product. I'm telling all my friends and family about Luminance! read more

I found out about Luminance Skin Care from the blog So...Let's Hang Out. I'd been keeping my eyes open to more natural skincare products with no harsh chemicals. It's not an easy task! Luckily one of the blogs I read did a review of Luminance. I was a little nervous to order from them because their products are pretty expensive compared to my normal $10 a bottle face wash. Luckily I reached out to them and e-mailed what they recommended for my skin type. Kim was nice enough to give me a recommendation and even offered to send me a couple products to try out free of charge. I'm so glad he did because I literally am obsessed with this company now. I've been using their face wash, moisturizer, and rose spray every day for a couple months now. I feel like my skin has never been softer. Luminance is a great company. I'm even ordering products now for people I love as gifts. I highly recommend them! read more

I visited this place with the wife, who had heard about the soap they make here. The place isn't so much a shop as a laboratory. When we walked in we were greeted and then started talking and got to see how they make everything right there. Very impressive. Also the soap we got is pretty amazing, I got a lemon scented one that feels better than any other soap I have ever used. read more

I LOVE their products. My daughter has very sensitive skin and these are ones of the very few skin products that she can tolerate. And on top of the quality of the products, their customer service is outstanding! If I could, I would give them 5 more stars! read more

Where do I start???? In a word, this product is AMAZING!! I have had some serious ups and downs with my skin as I am in that "time of life" when changes start to take over the skin!! I guess maturing skin is inevitable!! Anyhow, my skin became red around my nose and entire chin. I also found some new expression lines due to dryness. I was on a quest to counteract the annoying redness and itchiness by way of a clinical line that only made the problem worse, actually several popular skin care lines. I almost gave up until I discovered Luminance at the Farmers Market in Oakland. Little did I know this product would reverse all of my skin issues!! This line is cruelty free, fragrance free, organic and synthetic free! No icky stuff! I also have to mention how awesome the creator/owner is.... Kim Emanuel, thank you for creating skincare that actually nourishes the skin by way of pure and natural ingredients. read more
