About Luniva — German-Engineered Enzyme Stain Science
Luniva is a science-led laundry brand built around Formula 44, an enzyme-powered stain remover developed by chemists to break stains apart at the molecular level. We combine four active enzymes — protease, lipase, amylase and cellulase — to target protein, grease, starch and pigment stains in a single colour-safe formula.
Engineered to professional laundry standards in Germany. Distributed from London. Trusted by customers across the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Spain and the Middle East.
Our Story — 44 iterations to Formula 44
Luniva began with a simple frustration: every "miracle" stain remover on the shelf either masked stains, bleached colour out of clothes, or left a chemical residue that irritated skin. Our founding chemists set out to engineer a product that actually broke stains down — without compromising fabric, colour or the wearer.
After 44 formulation iterations across two years of controlled laboratory testing on real-world stains — curry, red wine, engine oil, blood, foundation, sweat and chef whites — Luniva Formula 44 was born. It is now used in households, restaurants, salons, hotels, garages and workwear laundries across the UK.
The Science — how the four enzymes work
Enzymes are biological catalysts. Each one is shaped to bind to a specific class of stain molecule and cleave its chemical bonds, turning insoluble marks into water-soluble fragments the wash cycle can carry away.
- Protease — breaks down protein stains like blood, sweat, egg, dairy, gravy and grass.
- Lipase — breaks down fat and grease: cooking oil, butter, salad dressing, makeup, sebum on collars.
- Amylase — breaks down starch: pasta sauce, baby food, chocolate, gravy thickeners.
- Cellulase — lifts trapped pigment from cotton fibres and refreshes fabric appearance.
Working together, these four enzymes handle the mixed real-world stains that single-enzyme or bleach-based products struggle with. Read the full breakdown in our stain removal knowledge base.
