We usually associate lavender with essential oils and calming pillow sprays, but this soft purple flower does more than just smell good. When used in makeup, lavender extract can help balance, calm, and support the skin—especially when you’re wearing foundation daily.
If your skin often feels stressed, red, or reactive under makeup, here’s why choosing a base with lavender built in could be the gentlest upgrade you make.
A Naturally Calming Touch
Lavender extract is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. When used in skincare and makeup, it can help reduce the appearance of redness and irritation—making it a helpful ingredient for sensitive or combination skin types.
Both the Glow Compact Cushion and Matte Compact Cushion are formulated with lavender extract, along with 18 other natural ingredients chosen to care for the skin while providing buildable coverage. These are not just makeup formulas—they’re skin-first bases that help your skin look better while wearing less.
Fewer Breakouts, Smoother Finish
One of the biggest concerns with makeup is how it interacts with your skin over time. Lavender’s antibacterial qualities can help support clearer skin by calming inflammation and reducing potential irritation. It works especially well in breathable formulas like Lava Art’s cushions, which are designed to be light on the skin while still evening out tone and texture.
If traditional liquid foundations tend to clog your pores or feel heavy, switching to a formula with lavender extract may offer a more skin-friendly experience—especially when worn for long hours or in warmer climates.
Soft, Skin-First Beauty
Makeup should feel like part of your skincare routine—not something your skin has to recover from. When calming ingredients like lavender are built into your base, you get a soft, radiant finish that doesn’t come at the cost of comfort.
Whether you prefer a dewy glow or a matte canvas, both cushion options give you a natural look that wears well throughout the day, supported by ingredients that genuinely care for your skin.
