Great question. It was recently discovered that it is in fact your microbiome, not your immune system that is your body’s first line of defense against infection and disease.4 It is made up of trillions of microorganisms (mostly good bacteria) and can be found on your skin, in your gut, ears, eyes, birth canal, and of course, your mouth.

Ingredients Matter
More than just oral care.
Built on the Work of Dr. Kourosh Maddahi
Lumineux was founded in 2014 as the consumer-facing brand of Oral Essentials Inc., building on the work of founder and CEO Dr. Kourosh Maddahi. Based in Beverly Hills, California, the brand has grown into a broader oral care collection serving customers primarily across the United States, while also reaching international customers through select retail and shipping channels.
More Than Whitening
Today, Lumineux offers more than whitening alone. The collection includes whitening strips, toothpaste, mouthwash, whitening pens, and whitening kits, giving you more ways to care for your smile every day. At the center of the lineup are Lumineux Whitening Strips, which remain the brand’s best-known product.
Designed for Smile Longevity
Whether you are focused on whitening or fresher breath, Lumineux is designed to help you build a routine centered on Smile Longevity and long-term oral health. It is about more than short-term results. It is about helping you build a smile and mouth that lasts.
Available Online and in Stores
In addition to being available online, Lumineux can also be found through major retail partners including Amazon, Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, and Whole Foods, making the brand accessible both through its website and through widely available national retailers.
