Color cosmetics and body care formulated without synthetic fragrance or microplastics, tested for skin compatibility at our Portland boutique.
Clean color cosmetics and mineral body care curated for real skin in Portland.
We curate foundation shade matching portland clients rely on, defining clean mascaras, satin mineral lipsticks, and exfoliating mineral body scrub jars. Inquiries are reserved strictly for adults aged 18 and older under our consultation policy.
Liquid foundation fluid calibrated across sixteen neutral, olive, and golden undertones with non-nano zinc oxide protection.
Foundation Base (Shade Adapting)
Our foundation bases suspend iron oxide pigments in plant-derived squalane and jojoba oil. The emulsion spreads evenly with finger warmth, a damp sponge, or a dense kabuki brush. It dries down to a breathable satin finish that moves with facial expression rather than settling into fine smile lines or clinging to dry skin patches.
Standard retail counters rely on fluorescent lighting and artificial silicone slip that oxidizes two shades darker by midday. At our 1500 Southwest 1st Avenue counter, we test shade swatches against natural daylight. You leave with an exact match or an honest recommendation to skip the bottle.

Clean mascara pastes built on plant waxes and iron oxides, engineered to wash off cleanly with warm water.
Mascara (Length & Definition)
Conventional mascaras rely on synthetic acrylates and carbon black pigments that irritate contact lens wearers and produce flaking after six hours of work. Our mascara curations use pharmaceutical-grade black iron oxide, organic carnauba wax, and candelilla wax. They coat individual lashes from root to tip without clump formation or smudging in humid Pacific Northwest rain.
Every tube is sealed at the manufacturer and batch-tested for microbial purity. Prices span $15 for daily defining tubes up to $65 for precision multi-peptide lengthening formulations imported in limited boutique runs.
| Unit Price | $15 to $65 USD per unit |
| Wand Type | Molded elastomer comb or fine spiral wire bristle |
| Formulation Base | Carnauba wax, candelilla wax, pullulan polymer, black iron oxide |
| Removal Method | Warm water and gentle towel pressure (tubing formula) or botanical cleansing oil |
| Wear Duration | Tested for 12 hours without flaking or under-eye smudging |
Mineral lip pigments poured in solid brass sleeves with meadowfoam seed wax grown right here in Oregon.
Lipstick (Satin Mineral Pigment)
Our lipstick line pairs rich earth pigments—raw sienna, burnt umber, and iron oxide terracotta—with Pacific Northwest meadowfoam seed wax and unrefined shea butter. The bullet deposits full color opacity in a single glide across the lip line. It leaves a comfortable satin texture that resists feathering for five continuous hours without drying out delicate lip tissue.
We do not carry petroleum-based waxes, artificial flavoring, or synthetic red lake dyes. Each shade is poured into a reusable, weighted metal case designed for decades of use.
| Unit Price | $22 to $34 USD per unit (refill inserts available at $22) |
| Weight | 4.2 g / 0.14 oz net pigment weight |
| Active Ingredients | Oregon meadowfoam seed wax, fair-trade shea butter, non-nano mineral iron oxides, vitamin E |
| Finish | Soft satin emollient, non-drying, five-hour color retention |
Body care priced at thirty-four dollars: volcanic pumice polish and cold-pressed sweet almond moisturizing lotion.
Body Lotion & Mineral Body Scrub
Our mineral body scrub combines fine volcanic pumice with cold-pressed sweet almond oil and rosemary extract. It buffs away rough surface skin cells across elbows, heels, and arms without abrasive scratching. It rinses completely clean in warm shower water without leaving a greasy residue on the tub floor.
The companion body lotion delivers colloidal oat milk, shea lipids, and botanical squalane in a quick-absorbing pump dispenser. Both formulations retail at an exact, confirmed price of $34 USD per unit. We package both in recycled amber glass jars to protect active plant lipids from light oxidation.
| Unit Price | $34 USD per unit (confirmed operator price for both scrub and lotion) |
| Scrub Net Weight | 240 ml / 8 fl oz wide-mouth amber glass jar |
| Lotion Net Weight | 250 ml / 8.5 fl oz amber glass pump bottle |

Beauty Accessories & Gift Curations
A high-grade foundation or mineral pigment performs only as well as the tool used to place it. We stock custom-bound cruelty-free synthetic brushes, high-density teardrop blending sponges, and zippered canvas cosmetic pouches.
Looking for a curated present? Our store manager packs bespoke beauty gift sets in rigid recycled paperboard boxes lined with unbleached tissue. Sets combine facial serums ($28–$150), mineral lipsticks ($22–$34), and pumice body scrubs ($34). Pricing reflects the exact shelf items selected without markups or packaging fees.

Boxed Gift Sets & Bestsellers
Curated gift boxes include batch-numbered product seals and detailed application notes written by our boutique staff. We tailor each curation to skin type, seasonal climate, and color preferences.
In-person shade matching and formula tolerance reviews conducted at our downtown Portland parlour counter.
Our In-Store & Inquiry Process
We do not maintain an unassisted online shopping cart or automatic checkout system. Every purchase or consultation inquiry follows a deliberate sequence:
- Inquiry Submission: You select the product categories, shade preferences, or skin concerns you want to address via our inquiry form below or in person at 1500 Southwest 1st Avenue.
- Manager Formula Review: Our store manager verifies current batch availability, tests undertones under calibrated daylight, and confirms volume sizing.
- Skin Compatibility Verification: We check active ingredients against your seasonal skin sensitivity and Pacific Northwest humidity conditions.
- Personalized Quote & Pickup: We issue a written itemized quote ($14–$65) with batch dates and hold your items at our counter or coordinate local delivery.
Honest boundaries on who our cosmetics are formulated for and what our beauty shop will not do.
Clear Standards & Client Fit
Under Meta Ads policies and our store operating standards, all cosmetic inquiries and sales target adults aged 18 and older. We do not formulate products for minors, nor do we market glitter or novelty makeup for children.
What we will not do: We do not make medical dermatological claims, promise pore eradication, or claim our scrubs alter your body's internal biology. Our scrubs exfoliate surface cells; our creams moisturize; our pigments add rich tone. If you are experiencing acute cystic acne or an open inflammatory skin condition, we advise seeing a licensed dermatologist before applying any decorative cosmetic.
Third-Party Brand Notice: Avessora is an independent beauty boutique registered in Portland, Oregon. Any reference to specific third-party brands, trademarks, or active ingredient patents reflects direct retail stock carried or independent ingredient reviews. We do not claim official sponsorship unless explicitly displayed.
