Lume Deodorant

Whole body deodorant for women

Lume Deodorant
Lume Deodorant's Sustainability Rating:

Harmful

We avoid Lume Deodorant because its sustainability reporting is incomplete or nonexistent.

While it avoids a few ingredients, it still uses some that pose a significant threat to the climate, including uncertified palm oil or palm oil-derived ingredients and petrochemical-based ingredients. Lume Deodorant doesn't utilize any alternative models or packaging minimization strategies to reduce its waste and emissions footprint, and it uses primarily plastic packaging of a virgin or undisclosed source, which contributes greatly to waste production and excess energy use.

Lume Doedorant and its parent company are lacking reporting on most sustainability topics - including any energy strategy, water efficiency measures, emissions measurement, emissions data, emissions reduction targets, offsets, supply chain details, and labor practices.

Lume Deodorant is owned by Harry's Inc.


  • Ingredients

    Lume Deodorant has made a few ingredient commitments to lower its environmental impact, including by avoiding parabens, phthalates, and other petrochemical-based ingredients. While it has made commitments, it still use some ingredients that pose a significant threat to the climate, including other petrochemical-based ingredients, and uncertified palm oil or palm oil-derived ingredients. Lume Deodorant doesn't report having any product or company-level certifications.


  • Containers & Packaging

    Lume Deodorant hasn't made any efforts to concentrate its products or minimize its containers, which increases shipping emissions and packaging volumes. Lume Deodorant doesn't publicly share information on its shipping materials and product containers, but it appears to use primarily plastic. Packaging is a large portion of the industry's emissions and waste footprint.


  • Energy & Water Use

    Lume Deodorant's parent company, Harry's Inc., doesn't share information on its energy strategy and neither does the brand. Harry's Inc. and Lume Deodorant do not provide information on any water conservation strategies. Lume Deodorant has a global production span, which is standard for the industry.


  • Refill & Reuse

    Lume Deodorant doesn't utilize any alternative models or methods to avert waste.


  • Slow Cleaning

    It's unclear if this brand releases new items seasonally or otherwise frequently, which can create excess waste. It may contribute to overconsumption by promoting product bundles over individual items.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Lume Deodorant doesn't appear to have a sustainability page or centralized source of relevant information aside from an ingredients page. Commons couldn't find a sustainability page or annual report for this brand or its parent company, Harry's Inc. This signals a lack of transparency and accountability, especially for larger brands. Lume Deodorant shares a complete list of ingredients used in its products on an ingredient page as well as on a per product basis.


  • Emissions Tracking

    Commons couldn't find information on this brand's emissions tracking or that of its parent brand, Harry's Inc.


  • Targets & Offsets

    Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for this brand or its parent company, Harry's Inc. Commons couldn't find evidence that this brand or Harry's Inc. offsets any emissions.


  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Lume Deodorant and its parent company, Harry's Inc. do not publish information about its supply chain partners. It doesn't publicly share a supplier code of conduct. Harry's Inc. and Lume Deodorant do not have a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners. This may increase human and environmental risks. Commons couldn't find further information about this brand's or parent company's supply chain and labor practices.


  • Advocacy

    Commons wasn't able to find evidence of any trade association memberships or any relevant policy for this brand or its parent company, Harry's Inc. Lume Deodorant and Harry's Inc. are not members of any key advocacy organizations that are blocking climate policy. It isn't a member of advocacy organizations advancing climate policy. It doesn't employ any state lobbyists. Lume Deodorant and Harry's Inc. didn't donate more than $100k to climate-obstructive candidates or PACs from 2018-2024.
