All Year
Did we need another cleansing oil, in addition to Leaf Love? For skin that tends to break out, for summer, or just for a lighter weight product that rinses easily, I said yes.
Lumina is clarifying, pore refining and illuminating, made with 7 wonderful medicinal plants that grow in our Biodynamic gardens, a tiny dose of chamazulene-rich yarrow essential oil, and several other extracts.The golden, unrefined jojoba is a near exact match to our skin’s own natural, vital sebum. This, as Leaf Love, is more than something to clean your face with. It delivers nutrients and a level of skin healing which makes all your other skin products work better. You can also use it as a leave on facial massage oil or light serum, in that case preceded with a hydrosol.
There is a lovely herbal scent, mostly from the whole plant infusions, and as with all our skin care, essential oils are chosen to help the skin, as important therapeutic components to the formulation synergy not merely to create an appealing scent .
ingredients: * unrefined jojoba; **rumex crispus, *gachillea millefolium, **arcticum lappa, **taraxacum, **galium aparine, **agrimonia eupatoria; * unrefined chia seed oil; *helichrysum & *yarrow eo; *poplar bud extraction; rhatany critical extract *certified organic **biodynamic/organic

I was elated to see Donna formulate a cleansing oil specifically for skin congestion. I massage this beautiful oil into my skin for 3-5 minutes for deep unclogging. Sometimes I even sit in the sauna with it on (I do this with Leaf Love too!). With time and consistency I have noticed more oil control and better texture on my nose (could it be that Lumina is passively exfoliating?).
As always, the scent is impactful, therapeutic, and herbaceous. The vibrancy of scent in Donnas creations not only speak to the care the pours into her art, but the sincerity in which she tends to her garden/land.
Thank you Donna, and thank you to her garden !

What a beautiful review! Yes, Lumina is gently, very gently exfoliating as you figured out. Thank you, De’Ja
