In a world full of quick fixes and flash sales, it’s easy to forget that true quality costs something. Not because of markups or marketing, but because intention, craftsmanship, and care take time — and often, courage.
When I founded Lumithéa, I wanted every product to reflect more than a pretty label. I wanted it to embody a promise — that what you’re putting on your skin has been sourced, formulated, and delivered with the same integrity I’d expect for myself.
That promise hasn’t changed. But recently, the reality of how products move through the world has.
The Real Cost of Care
Some of our Lumithéa Luxe Collection products are shipped from Canada, and recent tariff adjustments have changed how those items are processed across borders. That means that from time to time, shipping fees or delivery times may shift slightly — not because of the products themselves, but because of new trade policies that affect small, international brands like ours.
As a founder, it was important to me not to hide that from you. Transparency isn’t just a value I talk about — it’s one I practice.
We’ve chosen to be upfront about these changes because you deserve to understand what goes into every product you buy — not just what’s in the bottle, but the integrity behind how it gets to you.
A Smarter Way to Glow
At the same time, I heard your feedback: you wanted options that were simpler, more accessible, and faster to ship. That’s exactly why I introduced Lumithéa Essentials — a new collection made here in the United States, designed to reduce shipping complexity without reducing the quality you love.
Every cleanser, toner, and moisturizer in the Essentials line meets the same standards as our Luxe Collection — ethically formulated, cruelty-free, and made to support your glow from the inside out. The primary difference? Less distance between our lab and your bathroom shelf.
Packaging, Price, and Purpose
Another key difference between Luxe and Essentials is the packaging.
The Luxe Collection features elevated, boutique-style packaging — frosted glass bottles, metallic pumps, and design-forward presentation that reflects the indulgence of the ritual.
The Essentials Collection offers the same or alternative ingredients in more economical, travel-friendly packaging — because beautiful skincare should be accessible, not complicated.
For example:
💎 Our Collagen & Retinol Serum from the Luxe Collection ($49.80) features retinol and peptides for firming and renewal.
🌿 The Retinol Alternative Serum from the Essentials Collection ($22.99) uses a plant-based retinol alternative that delivers similar brightening and smoothing benefits — just in lighter packaging and a simpler design.
Different price. Same intention. Same glow-worthy results.
Integrity Over Everything
To me, a product is worth its price when it honors three things:
- The ingredients that make it effective,
- The hands that craft it, and
- The promise that connects it to your ritual.
That’s why we continue to refine, source smarter, and communicate openly. Whether it’s navigating tariffs, choosing materials, or refining packaging, our choices will always be guided by one core belief: your glow deserves honesty.
A Final Reflection
Behind every Lumithéa product is a quiet conversation — between beauty and integrity, between cost and care, between what’s easy and what’s right. We work hard to navigate the "in between" so you can have it all!
Thank you for being part of that conversation. Thank you for choosing conscious beauty. And thank you for trusting me to help you glow — naturally, confidently, and with full transparency.
✨ Pause. Breathe. Glow. ✨
