We often associate lavender with calm evenings and herbal teas—but when it shows up in your makeup, it’s more than just a relaxing scent. Lavender extract has a long history in skincare, especially for those with sensitive or temperamental skin.
At Lava Art, we believe makeup should do more than just sit on your skin—it should support it. That’s why you’ll find lavender extract in some of our best-loved products, including the Glow Compact Foundation.
Here’s what makes this botanical such a standout:
1. Naturally soothing for stressed-out skin
Lavender has gentle anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm irritation and reduce the look of redness. If your skin often feels reactive or sensitive, using a base product that includes lavender can help your makeup feel less like a layer and more like skincare.
2. Helps keep skin balanced
Lavender has mild antibacterial properties, which means it can help keep skin feeling clean and balanced throughout the day. That’s especially helpful if you’re dealing with mild breakouts or oily patches and want your makeup to stay fresh longer.
3. A soft scent that’s not overpowering
Unlike synthetic fragrances that can overwhelm the skin (and the senses), lavender extract offers a subtle, calming scent that fades naturally—without the irritation that often comes with artificial perfume in makeup.
Where to find it in your routine
If you’re looking for a base that combines skin-loving ingredients with real staying power, the Glow Compact Foundation is a great place to start. It blends 19 natural extracts—including lavender—for a breathable, radiant finish that feels like second skin.
Choosing makeup with thoughtful ingredients doesn’t mean giving up on performance. It means supporting your skin with every step, starting with what you put on it each morning.
