You know lavender for its dreamy scent—often tucked into bedtime sprays, essential oils, or your favorite calming tea. But did you know this soothing flower also has serious skin benefits? When infused into makeup, lavender extract can help create a calmer, smoother complexion while delivering a clean, refined finish.
If your skin tends to be a little reactive, red, or stressed (especially under foundation), lavender may be the secret ingredient you didn’t know you needed.
A Natural Soother for Stressed Skin
Lavender extract is known for its calming properties—not just aromatically, but on the skin too. It helps reduce the look of redness and irritation, making it especially helpful in base products that sit on your skin all day. For sensitive or combination skin types, it can offer a layer of comfort while still letting your makeup do its job.
You’ll find lavender extract in both the Glow Compact Cushion and the Matte Compact Cushion, where it’s included to help soothe and balance as you wear it. It’s just one of the 19 natural extracts in the formula—each chosen for a reason, not just for show.
Better Finish, Fewer Breakouts
One of the biggest concerns with makeup is that it can clog pores or aggravate the skin. Lavender’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities can actually help reduce the chance of post-makeup breakouts. It supports the skin’s natural balance and works especially well in formulations that are already light and breathable—like Lava Art’s cushion foundations, which feel more like skincare than traditional base makeup.
A Calming Ritual That Starts with Your Base
Makeup shouldn’t be something your skin has to “tolerate.” With ingredients like lavender, the experience of applying foundation can feel more like a skincare moment—soft, calm, and kind. And when your base is infused with botanicals that help your skin, not fight it, you’re not just covering up; you’re caring for your complexion while enhancing it.
Whether you’re after a dewy glow or a smooth matte look, starting with a foundation that includes calming ingredients like lavender makes all the difference. Both options offer buildable coverage and a soothing, skin-first approach to makeup.
