Skincare for Sensitivity

What skincare is best for sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin usually does best with fewer products and shorter ingredient lists: a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser, a moisturiser with barrier and soothing ingredients such as ceramides, glycerin, panthenol or centella, and sunscreen. Fragrance, essential oils and drying alcohol are common triggers. Introduce one new product at a time and patch test first.

Key ingredients for sensitivity

• Ceramides — support the barrier that keeps irritants out
• Glycerin — gentle, reliable hydration
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) — soothes and helps skin feel comfortable
• Centella Asiatica — calms skin that feels stressed or irritated
• Allantoin — a gentle soothing ingredient
• Bisabolol — a calming component of chamomile

Common triggers to watch for: Fragrance / Parfum, Essential Oils, Alcohol Denat.
