LumenStim Prepares to Launch Next-Generation Teeth Whitening System on Kickstarter

Kickstarter-approved LumenStim Teeth Whitening System brings peroxide-free whitening into daily brushing as the company advances global patent applications for its oral-care technology.

PLEASANTON, Calif., Aug. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LumenStim, a beauty and wellness technology company recognized for its home-use phototherapy innovations, today announced that its highly anticipated peroxide-free at-home teeth whitening system has been approved to launch on Kickstarter. The upcoming campaign introduces a new approach to oral care: seamlessly integrating advanced whitening technology into the daily sonic brushing routine.

Instead of asking consumers to add strips, trays, or extra whitening sessions to their schedules, LumenStim has designed an integrated system that combines up to 42,600 VPM sonic brushing, a dedicated dual-chamber whitening toothpaste, and guided care into a single three-minute daily experience.

The launch represents LumenStim's expansion into next-generation oral care and is supported by proprietary technologies for which the company is currently pursuing global patent protection. Certain technical details related to pending patent applications are not being disclosed at this stage.

"We believe the next generation of beauty and wellness technology should make everyday routines more intelligent, not more complicated," said the CEO of LumenStim. "With the LumenStim Teeth Whitening System, we started with a simple question: what if whitening didn't have to be a separate treatment at all?"

Turning Whitening Into Brushing

At-home teeth whitening has traditionally existed outside the everyday oral-care routine. Consumers brush their teeth and then add another product - whether strips, trays, gels, or other whitening treatments.

LumenStim approached the category differently.

The LumenStim Teeth Whitening System is designed around the idea of whitening built into brushing. Its toothbrush and dedicated dual-chamber toothpaste were developed as one system, bringing cleaning, whitening support, and enamel care together during the same guided session.

The toothbrush delivers up to 42,600 vibrations per minute (VPM) and incorporates 3D sweeping motion designed around gumline-focused brushing. Four sonic modes - White+, Clean, Strengthen, and Polish - allow users to adapt the experience to different daily oral-care needs.

A guided three-minute session keeps the experience within an existing daily habit, eliminating the need to schedule whitening separately.

A Peroxide-Free Whitening System

Another central element of LumenStim's approach is its 0% peroxide formulation.

Rather than relying on conventional peroxide-based whitening chemistry, the dedicated toothpaste utilizes a specialized technology that keeps two advanced photocatalyst components isolated until use. Upon brushing, these ingredients interact and synergistically boost each other's efficiency to achieve superior tooth whitening, while nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) is incorporated to support smoother-feeling enamel surfaces.

This reflects LumenStim's broader approach to product development: instead of adding a whitening feature to an ordinary electric toothbrush, the company engineered the brush and formula as parts of the same oral-care system.

Together, the system combines up to 42,600 VPM sonic brushing, 3D sweeping motion, four brushing modes, a guided three-minute routine, a peroxide-free whitening formula, and dedicated dual-chamber toothpaste in one daily experience.

Early Data Behind the Approach

The new system builds on findings generated from an earlier-generation LumenStim product.

According to LumenStim's interpretation of an SGS report for its Gen 1 system, 14 valid subjects with A2 or deeper extrinsic staining followed the specified AM/PM routine for 21 days. After the study period, 71.4% reported noticeably whiter teeth, while instrumental measurements recorded a 7.42% reduction in yellow tone b*.

The data relates to the company's earlier-generation system. Individual results may vary based on starting shade, staining, diet, oral-care habits, and routine consistency.

For LumenStim, the findings support a broader product-development objective: making whitening easier to integrate into a behavior consumers already perform every day.

From Beauty Technology Experience to an Independent Brand

LumenStim is the next chapter of LumenStim Wellness Limited, whose predecessor was XJS Science Limited. Before establishing LumenStim as an independent brand, the team accumulated operating experience across home medical devices, IPL, RF, light-based beauty technology, and wellness supplementation.

The organization has previously worked on the commercialization and scaling of technologies and products associated with Alpha-Stim, SmoothSkin, P&G's Opte, and TriPollar, building experience across product evaluation, category education, localization, supply-chain execution, channel development, and consumer insight.

LumenStim was created to bring that experience into an independent beauty and wellness platform built around a more disciplined principle: products should combine meaningful technology with formats people can realistically integrate into their lives.

Today, that philosophy extends from LumenStim's home-use phototherapy portfolio to its emerging oral-care technologies and broader Inside-Out approach to beauty and wellness.

Kickstarter Launch Coming Soon

The LumenStim Teeth Whitening System has been approved for launch, with campaign preparations currently underway. Followers of the project will be notified when the campaign goes live and will be among the first to access early-bird opportunities.

The vegan, climate-inspired K-beauty brand strengthens its Middle East footprint through Korea Town by Boutiqaat, debuting dedicated retail experiences and a three-day Kuwait launch activation.

SEOUL, South Korea and KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait , Aug. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AXIS-Y, the vegan, climate-inspired K-beauty skincare brand redefining skin health through its "Climate of You" philosophy, announced its official launch in Kuwait and Bahrain yesterday (August 20, 2026), marking a significant milestone in the brand's continued expansion across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

Kuwait will serve as a key focus of the launch, supported by a three-day activation expected to welcome approximately 230 guests, including around 70 celebrities and leading creators from across the GCC. The activation is designed to create strong regional visibility while giving media, creators, beauty enthusiasts, and consumers the opportunity to experience the AXIS-Y brand and products firsthand — generating significant buzz around the brand as it enters one of the region's most influential beauty markets. Bahrain will launch simultaneously, further strengthening AXIS-Y's retail footprint across the GCC and reflecting the brand's broader strategy to build a stronger and more locally connected presence throughout the region.

Both markets will be supported by dedicated physical retail visibility, including custom-designed AXIS-Y Brand House and animation table installations, bringing the brand's climate-inspired identity to life for shoppers. Notably, AXIS-Y will be the first brand to introduce this type of dedicated Brand House experience through Korea Town by Boutiqaat, highlighting the strength of the partnership and the shared commitment to creating more immersive beauty experiences for consumers in the region.

At the heart of the launch are two of AXIS-Y's hero products: the Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum and Vegan Collagen Eye Serum, two of the brand's most-loved formulas. Alongside these heroes, a wider AXIS-Y product assortment will also be available, giving GCC consumers greater access to the brand's science-backed, 100% vegan certified skincare portfolio.

"Kuwait and Bahrain represent important markets in AXIS-Y's continued growth across the GCC, where climate, lifestyle, and individual skin needs strongly influence how consumers approach skincare. Our expansion with Korea Town by Boutiqaat is about more than increasing our retail footprint; it reflects our long-term commitment to becoming more accessible while building meaningful connections with local communities.

By combining stronger retail visibility with immersive offline experiences, we want consumers to not only discover AXIS-Y products, but also understand the climate-inspired philosophy behind our brand. We see significant long-term potential across the GCC, and this launch marks another important step in building a locally connected AXIS-Y presence across the region."  — MENA Marketing Team Lead at AXIS-Y

The three-day Kuwait activation will bring the AXIS-Y world beyond the digital space, creating opportunities for guests to discover the brand's hero products, engage with its climate-inspired skincare philosophy, and experience the brand in a dedicated retail setting.

With Kuwait serving as a key launch market and Bahrain opening simultaneously, the expansion represents another step in AXIS-Y's long-term commitment to strengthening accessibility, visibility, and consumer connection across the GCC.

AXIS-Y products will be available starting August 20, 2026 via Korea Town by Boutiqaat in both Kuwait and Bahrain.
