Lume was founded by Dr. Shannon Klingman, an OB/GYN who saw firsthand how body odor—especially below the belt—was often misdiagnosed and mistreated, leaving women with unnecessary antibiotics and lingering self-doubt. Determined to find a better solution, she spent nearly a decade developing a deodorant that tackles the root cause of odor: bacteria on the skin digesting fluids. After testing her formula on her sister (with surprisingly fresh results), she launched Lume, a whole-body deodorant that works anywhere—pits, privates, and beyond. Today, Lume helps people feel confident and odor-free without harsh chemicals or shame.
