Our Ingredients

Why did we create Luxious Lemon™?

Purity, Wellness, and Luxury are the foundation of our brand. We began by creating products for our family and friends, where quality was our #1 concern.

We value simplicity and we look for ingredients that are premium, Non-GMO, and 100% food grade, whenever possible.

Our mission is to provide you a Therapeutic Experience; Luxurious Feel in each of our products.

Why is this important?

Bath and beauty products are more popular now than ever, yet many contain chemicals and artificial ingredients that studies show have been linked to skin irritation, hormone disruption, and other health concerns.

Many of our ingredients are 100% food-grade.

For example, we use sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) that is 100% food grade and aluminum-free. Our citric acid is 100% food-grade, organic and non-GMO. Our Epsom Salt is USP grade, which ensures that it has been manufactured, tested, and certified to meet the regulatory standards of the U.S. federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).

More people are choosing natural and organic ingredients in the foods they eat, becoming conscious as to what goes in their bodies, but what about the ingredients that go on our bodies?

After all, our skin is our largest organ. Shouldn’t we use the best ingredients possible in our skincare and bath and beauty products as well?

What about food coloring?

Many consumers like bright and colorful products, i.e. bath bombs that make the bath water colorful.  As a result, many bath products have coloring ingredients, which aren’t always good for us.  For example, the popular yellow dyes #5 and #6 (aka tartrazine and sunset yellow) are derived from coal tar and petroleum and are linked to negative side effects.

Also, not all-natural coloring is what you might think. One popular source of red coloring (labeled as “natural red 4” or “colored with carmine”) actually refers to dye extracted from the cochineal bug – 1 lb of this red dye requires 70,000 bugs to produce. Soothing right?

Our products contain very little color, to begin with. When we do use coloring, we avoid all unsafe artificial coloring.  We primarily use natural colorants extracted from plant and vegetable sources.  In cases where we use mica, it is always noted and is always responsibly sourced, cosmetic grade, and entirely lip/skin safe.

How about fragrances?

Our bath products smell amazing – we rely primarily on therapeutic-grade essential oils for amazing smells derived from nature. Although essential oils are currently popular in many bath and beauty products, often times they are merely used for their smell. 

At Luxious Lemon™, our core values are Purity, Wellness, and Luxury and we strive to achieve this through the curative properties of nature.  In order to maximize these potential benefits, we only use essential oils that are therapeutic-grade and we carefully source these from the top supplier(s) that are able to guarantee uncompromising quality due to rigorous standards and testing. 

It is important to us that our supplier(s) know exactly what goes into their products so that we know we are providing the highest quality products possible to our customers. In cases where we do use fragrance, it is always clearly noted and it is always in the ‘100% Natural Fragrance Oils and/or Isolates’ category. 

We believe in the importance of an amazing aroma that is always safe and nature-derived.
