LUMORA
Light That Melts Into Serenity
The team
About this project
Lumora was created in response to a simple but often overlooked problem: the residual wax left behind after a candle is used. Instead of allowing this material to become waste, Lumora reimagines the candle as a product with value beyond its flame. Lumora is a sustainable 2-in-1 lotion candle that combines the ambience and aromatherapy experience of a candle with the function of a moisturising lotion. As the candle melts, the formulation can be applied directly to the skin, allowing users to experience relaxation and skincare through one product.
Designed for wellness enthusiasts, working professionals, gift shoppers and environmentally conscious consumers, Lumora offers a practical self-care experience while encouraging more responsible consumption. The concept supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by promoting the more purposeful use of materials and reducing unnecessary waste.
Through Lumora, we aim to demonstrate that sustainability can go beyond simply reducing waste, it can create new value from what already exists. By combining self-care, functionality and sustainability, Lumora seeks to redefine the conventional candle experience and encourage consumers to think differently about what happens when a product reaches the end of its first use.
