5 Skincare Ingredients You Should Know (and Why We Love Them)
When it comes to skincare, we’re big believers in knowing what’s going on your skin. At Lavish Earth, every ingredient is chosen with care — not just because it sounds nice, but because it actually does something for your skin (and your senses!).
Here are five skincare ingredients we reach for again and again — and why they deserve a spot in your daily routine:
1. Shea Butter 🧈
The queen of soft skin. Shea butter is rich, creamy, and deeply moisturizing. It’s packed with fatty acids and vitamins that help soothe dry, irritated skin — without feeling greasy or heavy. It’s a staple in our triple whipped shea body butter and hand & body lotions for a reason.
Bonus: It also creates a soft, velvety skin feel, especially when warmed and whipped up — a win for texture-sensitive folks.
2. Argan Oil 💧
Known as “liquid gold,” argan oil is light, nourishing, and full of antioxidants. It helps improve skin elasticity, supports barrier repair, and gives you that dewy glow without clogging pores. We love it in face oils and night treatments.
3. Jojoba Oil 🌾
This oil is actually more like a wax, and it mimics your skin’s natural sebum — meaning it absorbs beautifully. Jojoba is calming, balancing, and ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, or combination skin. It’s like your skin’s BFF.
4. Coconut Oil 🥥
A multitasking marvel! Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, making it naturally antimicrobial and great for rough patches or dry skin. While it’s not for everyone’s face, it’s wonderful in body care, lip balms, and soothing salves.
Note: We use it mindfully and sparingly where it makes sense — especially for dry, flaky skin.
5. Zinc Oxide ⚪
Zinc isn’t just for sunscreen (though it’s a superstar there). It’s soothing, anti-inflammatory, and great for irritated or compromised skin. You’ll find it in our barrier creams and Wild Mint Foot & Body Lotion because it protects without blocking pores. Think of it as your skin’s gentle armor.
At Lavish Earth, we love skincare that works hard and feels good.
These ingredients are tried-and-true favourites for a reason — and we’ll keep using them because they deliver.
