L’Cre Cosmetics

L'Cre was started by Pamela, its founder and cosmetic chemist, who began by looking closely at the ingredients in the products she used on her own skin. That curiosity grew into a brand that formulates and crafts its products in small batches in Spring, Texas, in an on-site lab. The name is pronounced "Luh-Cray."

The skincare range includes peptide smoothing and plumping serums, a foaming face cleanser, a skin brightening complex, an anti-aging eye cream, a hyaluronic acid serum and a peptide BB serum. Makeup, solid lip oils, a lip butter and body care items are also sold. The business describes its products as clean beauty and its mission as creating beauty that is innovative, safe, clean and effective.

At the Old Town Spring studio, eyelash extensions come in classic, hybrid and volume styles, applied one by one to natural lashes. Airbrush tanning is heated and uses solutions the in-house cosmetic chemist formulates. Body sugaring removes unwanted hair using a paste made from sugar, lemon and water.

Shipping covers the United States only. Free local pickup is available in Old Town Spring and is arranged by email after purchase. Made-to-order items need two to four business days to process before shipping, or up to five to seven during peak periods, and standard domestic shipping typically takes three to seven business days after that. Unopened, unused items can be returned or exchanged within 14 days of delivery, and damaged, defective or incorrect items can be reported within 14 days with photos for replacement. L'Cre pays return shipping on eligible returns and charges no restocking fee. Custom-blended foundations and personalized formulations are final sale for change-of-mind returns. Refunds go back to the original payment method and typically appear within five to ten business days.

The business describes its formulas as clean and carefully researched, made in small batches by an in-house cosmetic chemist.
