the heart behind lumina by lyss

At Lumina by Lyss, our journey is deeply personal—a story rooted in love, resilience, and a fierce determination to create a better future for our family and yours.

I’m Alyssa, a proud mother of four incredible kids, each with their own unique spirit—and their own skin struggles. Like so many parents, I wanted the best for my children, especially when it came to their health and well-being. From eczema flare-ups to sensitivities that seemed to react to every product we tried, we went through countless brands, desperate to find something safe and effective.

But product after product left us frustrated. Labels promising “natural” or “gentle” were filled with ingredients I couldn’t even pronounce. I started digging deeper and quickly realized how many harmful chemicals were hiding in everyday products we trusted. That’s when I knew it was time to take matters into my own hands.

From frustration to creation

I began experimenting in our kitchen, researching every ingredient and learning how to create simple, natural skincare solutions. With every batch I made, I saw the difference in my kids’ skin—and in their confidence. What started as a labor of love for my family soon grew into a passion for helping others.

But our journey didn’t stop there. Clean living became a way of life, not just for my children but for all of us. My husband and I both come from families touched by cancer—my mother-in-law and grandparents bravely faced the trials of treatment, and it left a lasting impact on our hearts. We began to reevaluate everything: the products in our home, the food we ate, and the choices we made every day.

It wasn’t just about clearing up skin issues anymore; it was about protecting our kids’ futures, our own health, and ensuring we could be there for them for as long as possible.
