Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques Crème Foundation

This natural, cream-based foundation blends mineral pigments with nourishing botanical oils and waxes to create a smooth, hydrating finish. It’s designed to even out skin tone while supporting the skin barrier, making it a good option for dry, sensitive, or combination skin types looking for a natural, “your skin but better” look.

Ingredients:

Formulated with coconut-derived caprylic/capric triglycerides, beeswax, jojoba oil, argan oil, rosehip oil, zinc oxide (non-nano), natural silica, kaolin and other natural clays, passionflower extract, neem extract, green tea extract, raspberry seed oil, vitamin E from sunflower, and naturally derived mineral pigments such as iron oxides and ultramarines.

What I like:

  • Moisturizing, emollient-rich formula that nourishes the skin while providing coverage — ideal for dry, mature, or sensitive skin.

  • Uses natural oils, waxes, and mineral pigments instead of synthetic silicones, parabens, or petrochemicals.

  • Soft, smooth finish that looks like real skin rather than heavy makeup.

  • Gentle, botanical-rich formula that tends to work well for reactive or easily irritated skin.

  • Zinc oxide and mineral pigments help even tone naturally with a soothing, skin-friendly effect.

  • EWG rating is a 2.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Coverage is light to light-medium and best for those wanting a natural, everyday complexion rather than full coverage.

  • The finish is dewy to natural — may require setting powder if you prefer a matte look or have oilier skin.

  • The formula is rich in oils and waxes, so it blends best with fingers, a dense brush, or a damp sponge.

  • Wear time may be shorter on oily skin unless set with powder.

  • Creamy texture may feel heavier than liquid foundations for those who prefer ultra-light formulas.

Pregnancy / Breastfeeding Notes:

  • This formula is generally considered pregnancy- and breastfeeding-friendly, as it uses mineral pigments, plant oils, and waxes rather than retinoids, salicylic acid, chemical sunscreens, or other ingredients typically avoided during pregnancy.

  • Coconut oil and beeswax are well-tolerated for most, though coconut oil can be comedogenic for some acne-prone skin types.

  • As with all botanical-rich products, those with sensitive skin or a history of allergies may want to patch-test.

  • If you are navigating pregnancy-related melasma, the mineral pigments — especially zinc oxide — may offer gentle coverage without triggering irritation.
