Pen
Yes!! In fact, did you know that Lumineux® makes clinically proven whitening products that are safe and effective on dental materials like porcelain and bonding? 1 Please note, these materials may not whiten as quickly or as well as your natural teeth, as they are not as porous as enamel.
There could be several reasons that the Bright2 Pen didn’t work as you were expecting. Here are a few we can think of:
1. You didn’t wait long enough before consuming staining liquids or foods.
2. If used to whiten, some teeth have intrinsic stains, as opposed to surface stains. Staining that is intrinsic (underneath the enamel of your teeth) typically will not lift using whitening products, unfortunately.
3. You haven’t used it frequently enough to achieve the desired result! Some things take just a bit more patience. And while we don’t want to ask more of you than you are willing to give, there’s always the chance that you’ll see a better result with just a bit more time.
Absolutely! We are so very proud of just how safe for your enamel this product is. All Lumineux® Whitening products are designed to be safe for daily use, using purposeful and uncompromising™ ingredients that whiten without the sensitivity™*.2
No, we wouldn’t describe it as minty. If anything you’ll taste a delicious blend of coconut, lemon and sage flavors with a hint of salt.
This is our answer for all questions around pregnancy: First of all, congratulations! Lumineux® products are proven to be both safe and effective, but you should always check with your doctor before using any product while pregnant or breastfeeding.
The Bright2 Pen can be used daily!2,6 Every person is different and the amount you need to use it to achieve the results you’re looking for varies depending on how much whiter you’re looking to get your teeth AND how much staining liquids and foods you consume on a daily basis. If you drink a lot of tea and coffee, red wine or dark colored juices, we would say you should use this product multiple times a day prior to consumption of staining liquids and foods! If you don’t, you may only need it once a day or a few times a week.
Absolutely not! In Lumineux® Whitening products, what you’ll find instead are purposeful and uncompromising™ ingredients like Dead Sea salt and coconut oil that are clinically proven to whiten without the tooth sensitivity or gum irritation associated with peroxide.2*
Lumineux® whitening products whiten without the use of hydrogen peroxide (which can cause tooth sensitivity and/or gum irritation).3 The Lumineux® Bright2 Pen uses the same purposeful and uncompromising™ ingredients as our best-selling Whitening Strips!
It’s fantastic for sensitive teeth. Lumineux® Whitening products are packed with purposeful and uncompromising™ ingredients that are clinically proven to whiten without the sensitivity.5
Whitening Kit
One man’s gunk is another man’s purposeful and uncompromising™ ingredients, my friend. The leftover stuff is packed with essential oils and minerals, so while it’s easy to brush it off, remember that you don’t need to worry about it being there!

Lumineux® Whitening Toothpaste and Mouthwash both have a minty-ness to them due to the mint essential oils used (they’re great at helping to reduce plaque), but all Lumineux® Whitening products have an elevated flavor profile due to the purposeful and uncompromising™ ingredients you will find in them, like coconut, lemon, sage and even a hint of salt.
While this may not happen to you, there is a risk of temporary white spots with any whitening strip on the market. The reason is because your teeth are being shielded from saliva, which is not normal for them. So, for the time period you have the strips on, your teeth can become temporarily dehydrated. These white spots do go away and are not a sign of enamel damage!

Toothpaste
Our Whitening Toothpaste contains mint essential oils, so you will notice a gentle minty flavor, as well as the taste of our other purposeful and uncompromising™ ingredients, like coconut, lemon, sage and even a hint of sea salt.
Okay, here we go. Long answer time. Carrageenan is an ingredient frequently used in products like ours that is made from seaweed. We use food-grade carrageenan. There is some (frankly) bad science around the negative impacts of carrageenan. Should you eat loads of it? No. Nor should you be eating toothpaste!
Lumineux® Toothpaste doesn’t use harsh chemical thickening agents and so may feel lighter than other toothpastes. However, this tube is NOT empty! We promise.
Why, yes. It does!
Absolutely! Lumineux® Whitening Toothpaste is proven to be safe and effective, so it can be used and enjoyed by people of all ages.
Yes! Glycerin that is made from vegetables. Our products are proven to be both safe and effective.
Yes!! In fact, did you know that Lumineux® clinically proven whitening products are safe and effective on dental materials like porcelain and bonding?1 Please note, these materials may not whiten as quickly or as well as your natural teeth, as they are not as porous as enamel.
No, there is not! The reason we don’t include fluoride in any of our toothpastes is because while it is good at reducing cavities and tooth sensitivity, it has also been associated with neurotoxicity.15 Lumineux® contains Dead Sea salt instead and has been clinically proven to help protect enamel, without the sensitivity.9
For our toothpaste, yes that is normal! The reason you may notice a more gentle and hydrating consistency than other toothpastes you have used is because we don’t use harsh, abrasive thickening agents. Don’t worry! Lumineux® products are clinically proven to clean, freshen and whiten using ingredients that nourish.10,11,12*
Mouthwash
Our Whitening Mouthwash contains mint essential oils, so you will notice a gentle minty flavor, as well as the taste of our other purposeful and uncompromising™ ingredients, like coconut, lemon, sage and even a hint of salt.

Definitely not. Actually, one of the ingredients that made the LEAST sense in mouthwashes on the market to our CEO and Founder, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, was alcohol. Denatured alcohol is a drying agent (saliva is vital to good oral health) and has been linked to all kinds of health problems.13,14 It’s in other mouthwashes because it kills bacteria and is a cheap preservative. Plus, it’s a gimmick that causes a burning sensation we were conditioned to think meant the mouthwash was working.
We always invite people to read our ingredients lists because, truly, they are something to be proud of. In this delicious product you’ll find purposeful and uncompromising™ ingredients like aloe vera, Dead Sea salt, essential oils (peppermint, clove and holy basil, to name a few) and our all-star whitening ingredients; coconut oil, lemon peel oil and sage oil.
It’s BPA free, recycled plastic.

Lumineux® Whitening Mouthwash is clinically proven to whiten without the sensitivity.™10,11,12* However! Our Strips and Bright2 Pen are the real heavy hitters when it comes to whitening. So, if you can do both, please do. These products are truly designed to be used in combination with each other whenever possible.
We actually recommend that you do not eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes after swishing with this nourishing mouthwash. You want all those purposeful and uncompromising™ ingredients to have time to do their jobs! Trust us on this one.
Kids Toothpaste
No, it isn’t! Kids don’t like mint. They think it’s spicy. And THAT is the very reason your kid will find that this mild toothpaste is flavored with natural strawberry flavoring. Kids toothpaste wouldn’t be worth anything if the kids using it didn’t love the taste.
Inside this delicious toothpaste you will find our signature blend of essential oils to help reduce plaque, aloe vera to soothe, xylitol to sweeten and help reduce the risk of cavities and Dead Sea salt to help neutralize harmful bacterial toxins.
White!
This toothpaste contains Dead Sea salt and xylitol, so while it hasn’t been clinically tested to improve the strength of enamel, it can help reduce the risk of tooth decay and add healthful minerals to your child’s oral care routine.
There isn’t one! This toothpaste can be used at any age, from infants to 100-year olds. In fact, we once had a full-page article written about this toothpaste by a journalist who realized she only dreaded brushing her teeth because she hated mint, and this toothpaste cured her of that dread. If you like strawberries and a healthy, balanced mouth, this is the toothpaste for you. No matter what age you are!
The stand-out flavor for this product is definitely strawberry, but you’ll also taste the light sweetness of xylitol, and some hints of clove, basil and even salt.
This toothpaste is proven to be both safe and effective, but should not be used in more than a pea-sized amount. If they swallow a little, there should be no cause for alarm.
No, there is not! The reason we don’t include fluoride in any of our toothpastes is because while it is good at reducing cavities and tooth sensitivity, it has also been associated with neurotoxicity.15 Lumineux® contains Dead Sea salt instead and has been clinically proven to help protect enamel, without the sensitivity9.
Absolutely, and we can’t recommend strongly enough starting your little ones young! It helps build familiarity and a good foundation for oral health.
No, this isn’t a whitening formula.
