Sensitive skin is becoming an increasingly hot topic in cosmetic formulation, with more and more consumers reporting discomfort, redness, irritation, and reactivity.
These flare-ups can be sparked by all kinds of everyday stressors, such as harsh surfactants, mental stress, environmental aggressors, allergens, or even just a bit too much rubbing.
Biologically speaking, it’s all part of the skin’s natural defense system. As the body’s most responsive organ, the skin kicks off inflammation to deal with anything it sees as a threat, even if it's something small.
For formulators, the mission is clear (but not always easy): create products that calm and protect without triggering more irritation. That means focusing on:
- Formulas that support the skin barrier
- Reducing potential allergens
- Including proven soothing and anti-inflammatory actives
- Steering clear of known irritants
That’s where our sensitive skin ingredients comes in. We offer a thoughtfully curated selection designed specifically for sensitive skin formulations, everything from trusted heroes like stress reducing actives, niacinamide and aloe vera backed by solid science.
Whether you're formulating for reactive skin, post-treatment care, or gentle anti-ageing, we’re here to help you create products that bring both comfort and confidence.
