Sensitive Skin: Natural Care for a Skin That Reacts Easily
Sensitive skin is becoming increasingly common and presents a real challenge for those who experience it. Proper care requires special attention, the right products, and above all, a deep understanding of its needs. In our approach to natural and conscious skincare, we don’t view sensitive skin as a problem, but rather as a skin type that requires respect, gentleness, and protection.
What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin reacts excessively to stimuli that wouldn’t normally cause discomfort in other skin types. These reactions may include redness, burning, warmth, itching, or flaking, especially after applying certain cosmetic products. In some cases, sensitivity is linked to conditions such as rosacea, contact dermatitis, eczema, or inflammatory acne.
It may also be caused by an imbalanced moisture barrier, the use of overly aggressive products, or dermatological treatments such as retinoids or harsh exfoliation.
Natural care for sensitive skin
The key is to offer the skin ingredients that restore, calm, and strengthen its protective barrier. Below are our natural care recommendations, based on a philosophy of gentle, skin-respecting formulations:
1. Gentle cleansing without sulfates
Avoid cleansers with harsh surfactants (such as SLS or SLES). Choose mild soaps made with plant-based oils (like olive or coconut) and a balanced pH. Ingredients like colloidal oatmeal, rose water, or chamomile hydrosolare ideal to soothe the skin during cleansing.
2. Deep hydration without irritants
Hydration is essential. Look for products containing:
• Pure aloe vera: hydrating and soothing.
• Unrefined shea butter: rich in lipids that help restore the skin barrier.
• Jojoba or calendula oil: well tolerated by sensitive skin with soothing, anti-inflammatory effects.
Avoid synthetic fragrances, strong essential oils (like cinnamon or lemon), and drying alcohols.
3. Conscious sun protection
Sensitive skin is more vulnerable to sun damage. Use mineral sunscreens(with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide), preferably fragrance-free and formulated with natural, non-irritating ingredients.
4. Less is more
With sensitive skin, the fewer products, the better. A basic routine with gentle cleansing, rich hydration, and sun protection can be more effective than an overloaded routine. Introduce new products one at a time, and observe your skin’s response.
Caring for sensitive skin requires patience, consistency, and awareness. By choosing natural ingredients, simple formulations, and gentle treatments, we help the skin regain balance, calm its reactivity, and recover its natural beauty. From our conscious skincare philosophy, we believe that skin does not need to be forced to heal—only supported with respect.
