LUNA ZOME

The cycle of the moon,
the cycle of your skin —
awaken your radiance

STORY

Born in 1997 from
the wishes of two doctors

Product Development

In 1997, LUNA ZOME was born — a basic skincare line that set out to reinvent what cosmetics could be.

I want to help everyone
who suffers from skin troubles

— a doctor's wish, and

I want to give
that wish a form

— a researcher's firm conviction. From these, LUNA ZOME was developed by applying the liposome method established by the two doctors to cosmetics.

Ever since its launch, LUNA ZOME has answered the skin concerns of many people, and it continues to be loved today.

Dr. Jutta Knauer and Dr. Dieter Neugebauer in conversation

The two doctors who brought
clinical liposome care to cosmetics

Dr. Dieter Neugebauer

Dr. Dieter Neugebauer

An authority of the German dermatological society, Dr. Neugebauer researched liposomes — a moisturizing component that penetrates smoothly into the stratum corneum.

Dr. Jutta Knauer

Dr. Jutta Knauer

With the concept of "effective, yet gentle on the skin," she brought a woman's perspective to developing LUNA ZOME without synthetic colorants or fragrance.

INTERVIEW

Our commitment:
single-layer liposomes

What makes it special

The one and only*
single-layer liposome

*Among EBM cosmetics.

We asked Dr. Jutta.

The liposomes in the LUNA ZOME series are ultra-small, single-layer capsules. (Contained in Retim Lotion and Moisture Gel.)
Ordinary cosmetics use multi-layer liposomes.

Multi-layer liposomes are generally stable, but they are larger than single-layer ones.

*Illustration for reference only.

Single-layer liposomes are so delicate that they are said to be difficult to formulate into cosmetics.
After years of development, we succeeded in formulating them — and that is how the LUNA ZOME series was born.

This is also why Retim Lotion and Moisture Gel, which contain these delicate, ultra-small capsules, need to be stored in a cool, dark place.

Dr. Jutta Knauer

Ultra-small single-layer capsules carrying skin-conditioning ingredients penetrate deep into the stratum corneum.
What matters is delivering what the skin needs, exactly where it needs it.

SECRET

Three secrets
of LUNA ZOME

Three Secrets

Petri dishes and a pipette

Secret 01

Liposome beauty capsules
rebuild skin from its foundation

A liposome is a nano-sized capsule with a membrane made of the same component as human cell membranes (lecithin). It is extremely small and highly flexible.

Diagram comparing liposomes and conventional serums: small liposomes reach the stratum corneum, while larger conventional serum particles stay on the skin surface

Because the liposomes used in the LUNA ZOME series are ultra-small and single-layer, they penetrate deep into the stratum corneum to care for the skin, and help the skin absorb the ingredients they carry. (Contained in Retim Lotion and Moisture Gel.)

Secret 02

Series care based on skin science
that answers your concerns

Because every product is based on skin science, combining them lets you create care tailored to your skin type and concerns. Without putting unnecessary stress on the skin, it delivers reliable care that brings the right ingredients exactly where they are needed.

Dr. Jutta Knauer

"Effective, yet gentle on the skin." LUNA ZOME — free of fragrance and colorants, shaped by her caring perspective as both a doctor and a mother.

She applied liposome technology to cosmetics development, working to create effective, safe and reassuring products based on scientific evidence. Drawing on her experience caring for many patients — and, closest to home, for her own son's allergy-prone skin — she was committed to products that leave out unnecessary ingredients such as fragrance and colorants, and gently care for every kind of skin concern.
