A story of care, chemistry, and the future of intelligent skincare.
Luksha Cosmetics® was founded in 2016 in British Columbia, Canada, by Anastasia Babenko — a cosmetic chemist and public health specialist with decades of industry experience. From the beginning, her approach to skincare was rooted in scientific integrity: a focus on long-term skin health, minimal yet effective formulation, and evidence-based innovation drawn from both dermatology and nature.
The name Luksha carries personal meaning. It’s the name of a small, quiet village where the founder spent her childhood — a place that nurtured curiosity, connection, and a respect for things made with care. From the beginning, the brand reflected that spirit: small-batch production, minimal smart preservatives, eco-conscious practices, and a focus on truly effective formulations — often developed for those underserved by conventional skincare.
For nearly a decade, Luksha Cosmetics® has served customers who value performance without compromise — professionals, aestheticians, and critical-thinking individuals who want intelligent solutions, not marketing fluff.
In 2025, Luksha moved beyond branding and into a deeper evolution—driven by research, structure, and clinical logic.
This transformation was driven by a growing team of chemists and medical experts who share a bold vision: to bring the most advanced dermatological research into daily skincare, while staying true to the brand’s original values.
What does that look like?
Biomimetic Lamellar Formulations
Luksha’s new creams now mimic the skin’s own lipid matrix, allowing for enhanced compatibility, absorption, and long-term skin barrier repair. These next-generation textures are structurally aligned with human skin — making them not only effective, but exceptionally gentle.
Volatile, Microbiome-Friendly Preservation
Free from phenoxyethanol, PEGs, and ethoxylated compounds, Luksha now uses volatile, biodegradable preservation systems that protect the product in the jar — and evaporate on the skin, leaving the microbiome intact.
Targeted Bioactive Complexes
Each formula is built around clinically validated actives — selected for their proven efficacy in supporting skin function, correcting imbalances, and delivering visible, long-term results.
A New Visual Identity
The packaging has evolved too. While the beloved Aboriginal art–inspired design remains a treasured part of Luksha’s legacy, the new visual language is clean, minimal, and scientific — expressing the precision and performance behind every formula.
With this new chapter comes a new emblem: ¹⁶Lu, a two-character manifesto of who we are.
Lu stands for Lutetium — the rarest silvery metal at the very edge of the periodic table and a powerful enabler of cutting-edge technologies. In our world, it symbolizes purity, precision, and quiet strength — qualities we build into every Luksha formula.
The superscript 16 is more than a stylistic flourish; it marks 2016, the year Luksha was founded. Together, ¹⁶Luechoes both Lutetium and Luksha — the laboratory where we transmute elemental science into luminous skincare.
It’s a new symbol, but an old promise:
Rare-earth brilliance. Relentless formulation precision. A future where your skin stays as radiant as polished silver.
Luksha isn’t chasing trends. It’s building tools for real, lasting skin health — for people who care not just about how their skin looks today, but how it functions, adapts, and thrives for years to come.
The first products in this new era — including the Cellévra Lift Cream with Vitamin C and Bio-Peptide Complex and the Luminous Balance Cream with Azelaic Acid and Panthenol — are already available. And more are coming, built on the same foundation of science, safety, and thoughtful care.
This is skincare reimagined — for professionals, thinkers, and anyone who believes that true beauty begins with skin that’s understood, respected, and supported.
