Fresh · Frozen · Botanical
Skincare is a ritual,
not a routine.
Prepared by hand, portioned into a single cup and kept frozen until the evening you set aside for it. Thaw, apply, pause and rinse. Thirty-five quiet minutes that belong entirely to you.
Chapter I
The Beginning
Some things are meant to be made slowly, and opened slowly.
LUMÉ is a small botanical house shaped by the belief that care is not something to be rushed. Every cup is prepared by hand, closed by hand and kept still until the evening it is yours.
Chapter II
Why Frozen Matters
We freeze skincare because freshness cannot be preserved by anything softer than cold.
No stabilisers to extend a shelf life. No preservatives to soften a formula. Only the botanicals, held exactly as they were prepared, until the moment you open the cup.
Freshness first
Frozen at the moment of preparation to preserve every botanical intact.
Ritual over routine
A once-weekly ritual designed to make skincare feel like time set aside, not another task to complete.
Botanical intelligence
Ingredients chosen for their complementary role: clarifying, soothing, restoring.
Made with intention
Everything has a reason for being here. Nothing is added simply for the sake of more.
The Ritual
Four steps. One quiet evening.
Around thirty-five minutes, from freezer to glow. Every LUMÉ cup opens onto the same simple ceremony.
- 01
Prepare
Remove a cup from the freezer and let it thaw for about twenty minutes, while the evening slows down around you.
- 02
Apply
Smooth the mask over clean skin, ideally with the LUMÉ Ritual Brush: smoother application, clean hands.
- 03
Pause
Rest for about fifteen minutes. Let your facial muscles soften and keep still while the botanicals do their work.
- 04
Rinse
Rinse with lukewarm water, using the LUMÉ Ritual Glove in gentle circular motions, then pat dry.
N° 01 — The Ritual Mask
One cup. One ritual.
A cool, botanical mask, freshly portioned, frozen the day it is made and opened once. One cup holds one complete ritual: thaw, apply, pause, rinse.
- Prepared in small batches
- Kept frozen, opened once
- Qasil, turmeric and honey, with 8 more botanicals
The Botanicals
Nature, kept at its freshest.
Eleven botanicals, chosen slowly. Three lead the formula; the remaining eight complete it.
The Botanical Cleanser
Qasil
A treasured East African botanical traditionally used to gently cleanse the skin. Rich in naturally occurring cleansing compounds, Qasil helps lift excess oil, impurities and daily buildup while respecting the skin barrier, leaving the complexion feeling balanced, refreshed and comfortably clean.
The Botanical Brightener
Turmeric
Naturally rich in curcumin, turmeric helps calm the appearance of visible redness while supporting a brighter, more even-looking complexion. Its antioxidant properties help improve the appearance of post-blemish marks and dullness while supporting healthy-looking skin over time.
The Botanical Comforter
Honey
A naturally nourishing humectant that helps attract and retain moisture while supporting soft, comfortable-feeling skin. Honey contributes gentle antibacterial properties while helping leave skin feeling hydrated, soothed and cared for after every ritual.

Words from the LUMÉ Circle
“I didn’t know skincare could feel this considered. Everything about it made me want to slow down and actually enjoy doing something for my skin.”
“It made me stop treating my skin like a task. I actually look forward to taking those few minutes for myself now.”
“There’s something really nice about having everything already portioned for one use. I just take one out, do my mask and have a little time to myself.”
“I’m not someone who usually does much for my skin, but this was easy to use and actually felt like something I could keep doing. My skin felt really smooth and refreshed afterwards.”
