Lume Deodorant develops whole body deodorant products designed to stop odour before it starts. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Shannon Klingman, a practising OB-GYN, the company grounds its formulations in clinical expertise, drawing on personal care formulation, dermatology and skin science, and skincare chemistry. Its products are aluminium-free, baking soda-free and vegan.
The flagship Lume Deodorant line uses mandelic acid and is described as gentle enough for sensitive areas, including underarms and intimate areas. It offers a clinically proven 72 hours of odour control. In late 2022 the company extended its odour-control expertise to men's personal care with the launch of Mando. The company reports more than 300,000 five-star reviews across its products.
Lume operates in the personal care, consumer packaged goods, beauty and hygiene, and men's grooming categories. It is part of Mammoth Brands, a modern consumer goods company whose portfolio includes Harry's, Flamingo and Coterie. The company describes itself as mission-driven, focused on normalising conversations about body odour and on serving customers, employees and community, with a scrappy, entrepreneurial and rapidly growing culture.
