Caring for sensitive skin is its own kind of uphill task. Unlike most other skin types, you have to approach every product and skincare routine with extreme caution. We know how daunting that can feel. That’s exactly why we’re here! To help you out with a quick cheat sheet of ingredients that work especially well for your skin type, so you can worry less and self-care more!
Aloe Vera
This one’s a no-brainer that you’re already familiar with. Aloe Vera is the go-to ingredient for anyone whose skin flares up easily. It’s soothing, helps reduce inflammation and is antibacterial. Above all, aloe is hydrating and helps reinforce the skin’s moisture barrier. It’s a must-have for skin that needs gentle care and a healing touch. No need to go looking for an aloe vera plant just yet! All you need is the Multivitamin Super Hydrator!
Oats
Oats are packed with proteins and Vitamin E, which not only help reduce inflammation but also improve the overall appearance of your skin. Vitamin E is also an antioxidant which protects your skin from damage while also leaving it moisturised and strengthened. You’ll find this soothing, nourishing ingredient in The Calm Cream!
Cica or Centella Asiatica
When it comes to healing and nourishing sensitive skin, cica is a superstar! Cica helps soothe and repair irritated skin, calm and minimise inflammation and also treat acne. It’s loaded with amino acids, beta-carotene, fatty acids along with Vitamins A, B1, B2 and C – all of which are great for skin health! Get your Cica from The Calm Cream!
Hyaluronic Acid
Hydration is essential for every single skin type, but more so for sensitive skin! It strengthens your skin barrier, and improves your skin’s ability to withstand damage. This is where Hyaluronic Acid comes to the rescue! It’s a hydration hero that amplifies your skin’s ability to hold moisture, which in turn helps keep inflammation and flare-ups away. Look no further than the Multivitamin Super Hydrator for your daily dose of Hyaluronic Acid!
Ceramides
Barrier care is a key part of caring for your sensitive skin. You need to consistently focus on not only calming your skin but also strengthening it. And ceramides work wonders for the latter. Ceramides are naturally present in the skin and are considered to be the cement that holds your skin cells together. They help improve skin texture, prevent moisture loss, keep your skin firm, plump and strong enough to withstand damage. And you can find it in our Barrier Boost Face Formula!
Liquorice
Liquorice extract is known for its anti-inflammatory benefits – another valuable ingredient to have in your arsenal. It helps relieve irritated skin, reduce redness and soothe itching. It’s also known to diminish acne scars and dark spots, leaving you with calmer, brighter and clearer skin. Find this wonder ingredient in our Vitamin C Water!
Niacinamide
If you’re familiar with us, you know how much we love Niacinamide! This is a multi-benefit skincare superstar that can help you tackle acne and pigmentation, help in the production of healthy skin cells, repair & boost the skin’s collagen levels and improve skin hydration. Niacinamide works like a charm even at lower concentrations, so you can tread safely here! And it’s anti-inflammatory too, making it a must-have for sensitive skin! Look no further than the Multivitamin Super Hydrator and the Barrier Boost Face Formula for your daily dose of Niacinamide!
