What No-Tox Means to Us at Lumin
When we started transitioning our spa into a no-tox sanctuary, we knew it wasn’t going to be simple, but we felt it was absolutely necessary. For us, no-tox isn’t just a buzzword or a passing trend—it’s about showing up for ourselves and our community in a way that prioritizes health, mindfulness, and long-term wellness.
It all began with one question: What’s really in the products we’re using? And let me tell you—once we started flipping over bottles and Googling ingredients, there was no going back. We found things that were honestly shocking: ingredients linked to hormone disruption, allergies, skin irritation, and even long-term health risks. And these were in products meant to “nourish” and “heal” the skin.
That realization hit us hard. How could we, as a spa, promise to take care of people while using products that might do more harm than good? That’s when we decided to take a hard turn toward something better. And, spoiler alert, it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
Why No-Tox?
For us, going no-tox isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about making small, intentional choices that add up over time. Let’s face it, we’re all navigating a world where toxins are everywhere—in our food, air, water, and yes, our skincare. It can feel overwhelming, but here’s the thing: every little step matters. Swapping one product, one habit, or one mindset can make a bigger difference than you think.
Going no-tox isn’t just about the products we use. It’s about stepping into a lifestyle that works with our bodies, not against them. It’s about simplifying, slowing down, and making choices that actually feel good—not just in the moment but in the long run.
And no, it’s not always easy. We had to dig deep, research endlessly, and part ways with some of our old favorite products and brands. But what we’ve gained—peace of mind, healthier skin, and a sense of purpose—has been worth every bit of effort.
Our No-Tox Transformation
Reinventing Lumin as a no-tox spa was a huge undertaking, but we knew it was the right move. We swapped out every single product we used in our treatments for clean, safe, and effective alternatives. And here’s the good news: going no-tox doesn’t mean sacrificing results. If anything, it’s the opposite. We’ve seen firsthand how much better clean products perform when they’re designed to work with your body instead of bombarding it with unnecessary chemicals.
But it wasn’t just about our spa treatments. We wanted to take it further by offering these products to our clients, so they could extend that no-tox care into their everyday lives. That’s why we created a shop (and online store!) stocked with products we believe in, use ourselves, and know are safe. From skincare to candles, every item has been handpicked, tested, and vetted—because we don’t mess around when it comes to your health.
It’s Not About Perfection
One thing we’ve learned on this journey is that no-tox living isn’t about being perfect. It’s about progress. It’s about taking the time to figure out what works for you and making small changes that feel manageable. Maybe it starts with swapping out your moisturizer. Maybe it’s ditching that one candle you’ve been side-eyeing ever since you learned about paraffins. Wherever you’re starting, just know that it’s okay to go at your own pace.
For us, it’s been a process of learning and evolving. There were moments of overwhelm (hello, endless ingredient lists), but there were also moments of clarity. And those moments are what keep us going. We’re not here to tell you that no-tox living is easy, but we are here to tell you that it’s worth it.
Why It Matters
Self-care shouldn’t come with a side of toxic ingredients. We believe you deserve better. You deserve products and treatments that are as safe as they are effective. You deserve to feel good about the choices you’re making for yourself and your family. And most importantly, you deserve a space that supports you in those choices.
At Lumin, we’re more than a spa. We’re a community. A place where wellness meets intention and where self-care becomes something deeper. Whether you’re coming in for a facial, shopping with us, or just following along for inspiration, we’re so grateful to have you on this journey with us.
