Who would have thought deodorant could be life-changing?

Lumē’s inventor and CEO, Dr. Shannon Klingman, had a hunch that it could be.

Shannon first “whipped up” this all-over natural deodorant in her kitchen to solve odor concerns her patients commonly faced in her gynecology practice. Her goal in creating Lumē was to improve people’s confidence. She wanted to find a solution to body odor holding us back, which can often be embarrassing to talk about.

Life is full of twists and turns and never goes quite the way we expect it to. For Shannon, her vision of bringing joy and empowerment to people with Lumē took about 10 years to come to fruition. It’s also what kept her going through a period of extreme grief, knowing that the work she was doing would help others.

Now, Lumē has taken off and surpassed even Shannon’s expectations. It is an odor-free movement that offers hope and challenges the way hygiene products have been addressing odor concerns since the very beginning.
