Luxe Beauty was borne from the vision of chemist Jane May Graves after her mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer.

Her Mother’s diagnosis awakened her to the importance of avoiding toxic personal care products. The skincare offerings in the market fell short of Jane’s expectations and desires.

Refusing to compromise any effectiveness when developing her formulas with the world's top chemists, Jane’s investment in research and testing proved to be invaluable.

Compelled by an immediate customer demand for high quality and pure ingredients, all formulations are plant derived, and made with high concentrations of effective ingredients.

Luxe Beauty was created for health-purist and label readers like you. We refuse to cut corners with chemicals, petrolatum, mineral oil, beeswax, silicones, phthalates, parabens, colors, dyes, propylene glycol.

We avoid filler ingredients such as alcohol, glycerin, beeswax, fruit juices, and cheap oils found in most “natural” skincare products.

Luxe Beauty products are formulated with high concentrations of effective ingredients to awaken your skin's natural glow.

Hummuna Hummus is locally handcrafted in Boise and provides six distinct flavors...Sicilian (sun-dried tomato, fresh basil and balsamic glaze), Greek Platter (Kalamata olives & feta cheese), Roasted Garlic, Jalapeno (fresh jalapeno and cilantro), Chana Masala (yellow curry) and Traditional. All products are produced by SEVZ Kitchen.

Extravagonzo Gourmet Foods are the real deal: no flavorings, essential oils, or extracts are used. The citrus, for example, is crushed with the olives so your palate gets a bit of the zest, some of the seed, and the full flavor of the fruit. And the dried red chili is soaked in the olive oil for up to 60 days until both flavor and color are absorbed.

These culinary oils and balsamics were developed with you in mind …for the gourmet in all of us!

Bio-K+® is a unique probiotic that has proven itself. It is the only product containing the patented formula L. acidophilus CL1285® and L. casei LBC80R® 100% live probiotic bacteria.

Green Chickpea Hummus is irresistibly healthy with a fresh green twist.
Deliciously fresh, clean and naturally green, we take immature green chickpeas picked at the height of freshness and purée to a creamy texture to create this green hummus variation on traditional hummus. 

An environmentally sound company that roasts great coffee. Or a company that roasts great coffee and is environmentally sound. Either way, we all win!

The idea behind Better Man Beard is that all beards can be better for both the person that has the beard and their significant other. Some guys don't necessarily care how soft or what their beard smells like, but I am sure most significant others do. This basic concept has led to the creation of a beard balm that will help any man grow a better beard while making it softer and smell better for that special someone that wants to snuggle up close to it.
