Lumene

Lumene is a Finnish beauty brand introduced in 1970 by the pharmaceutical company Orion. The name stands for products inspired by Nordic nature. Since 2021 the Lumene Group has been majority owned by the Nordic investment company Verdane, which has since sold part of its stake. In 2024 the group reported net sales of 102 million euros and sells its products in more than 15 countries.

Features

• Certified as a B Corp for meeting social and environmental standards
• Own online shop with country versions
• Nordic ingredients as a central part of the brand story

Good to know

Lumene is small compared with the global beauty groups. The group is held by a financial investor rather than by a family, which can change over time. Verdane is based in Norway, so the owner is European.
