Beauty Spotlight: Lavera Naturkosmetik

Words by Jeanette Schwarz.

If you’ve heard anything about Europe’s strict ingredient standards for safe cosmetics, then you probably know a thing or two about Lavera, Europe’s greenest beauty brand. String Mag is excited to put this cosmetic line to the test and feature it in the best light we know how: a fashion beauty shoot.

Why we love this line? Designed for allergy sufferers and sensitive skin, it utilizes plant oils, herbs, flower extracts, and essential oils, in place of chemicals like petroleum, synthetic preservatives, and parabens. Make no mistake, though, as gentle as the ingredients are, the pigment and colour quality pack a tough punch. If you love fashionable makeup but have the most sensitive of skin, you will absolutely love this line!

Just a taste of some of Lavera’s ingredients, that are oh-so-good for you and your skin:

- Aloe Vera: rich in vitamins, minerals, hydrating and soothing to the skin.
- Beeswax: Protects and nourishes skin.
- Cameline oil: essential fatty acids derived from Camelina seeds, supports skin health.
- Magnesuim: a strengthening nutrient-rich mineral for skin.
- Rice powder: a purely natural mattifier.
- Titanium dioxide: a natural mineral that provides UV protection.
- Natural Fragrances: pure essential oils and distilled flowers are used as a natural fragrance.
