Collection: Skincare for sensitive skin

Sensitive skin requires extra care, with formulations that calm rather than disrupt. Strengthening the skin barrier is key to reducing reactivity, locking in moisture, and protecting against environmental stressors. With the right balance of soothing and hydrating ingredients, sensitive skin can feel nourished, resilient, and at ease.

Why is my face reacting to everything?

Sensitive skin overreacts to external triggers such as harsh ingredients, weather changes, or pollution due to a weakened skin barrier. 

When your skin barrier is compromised, irritants penetrate more easily, leading to redness, dryness, and discomfort. Choosing barrier-supporting skincare with anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce sensitivity over time.

What are the four types of sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin generally falls into four categories, each requiring a different approach to care:

Naturally sensitive ~ a genetic predisposition to skin that is easily irritated, often linked to conditions like eczema or rosacea. Opt for barrier-strengthening skincare with soothing ingredients like DNA HP and Silver Hydrosol.

Environmentally sensitive ~ reacts to pollution, weather changes, or UV exposure. Protect your skin with antioxidants and Copper Hydrosol, which helps defend against oxidative stress.

Reactive ~ easily irritated by certain skincare ingredients, fragrances, or preservatives. Stick to minimalist formulations without harsh exfoliants and introduce new products slowly to gauge skin response.

Weakened barrier ~ often caused by over-exfoliation or harsh cleansers, leading to dryness and inflammation. Restore moisture with DNA HP and lipid-rich moisturisers, like those with Argan Oil and Shea Butter to reinforce the skin’s defences.

Understanding the type of sensitive skin you have will help you tailor a skincare routine that soothes, strengthens, and protects, keeping irritation at bay.

How can I care for my sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin thrives on simplicity - too many products can overwhelm and cause irritation. 

A gentle, protective approach is key. Create a routine based on products that strengthen the skin barrier, hydrate and soothe irritation.

Look for soothing ingredients like Aloe Vera and Silver Hydrosol which help reduce redness and inflammation.

Avoid harsh exfoliants, alcohol-based toners, and synthetic fragrances, as these can strip moisture and cause flare-ups.

Which moisturiser is good for sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin needs a moisturiser that hydrates deeply while reinforcing the skin barrier to reduce reactivity and keep skin comfortable. The right formula should be soothing, non-irritating, and free from harsh additives that can trigger sensitivity.

Look for ingredients that help restore moisture, calm inflammation, and protect against environmental stressors, such as:

Glycerin ~ a humectant that draws moisture into the skin, keeping it soft and hydrated.

Shea Butter ~ rich in essential fatty acids to nourish and restore the skin’s natural barrier.

Squalane ~ lightweight yet deeply hydrating, helping to lock in moisture without feeling heavy.

Aloe Vera ~ a natural soothing agent that reduces redness and calms irritation.

Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ~ helps repair the skin barrier and improve moisture retention.

Sweet Almond Oil ~ a gentle, nutrient-rich oil, rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, that helps calm irritation and strengthen the skin barrier.

Argan Oil ~ packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids to support hydration and resilience.

Silver Hydrosol & DNA HP ~ a powerful combination that soothes inflammation, strengthens the skin’s defences, and provides deep, lasting hydration.

What is the best serum for sensitive skin?

A serum for sensitive skin should focus on soothing, hydrating and strengthening.

A good serum for sensitive skin should be lightweight, deeply hydrating, and packed with soothing, protective ingredients. 

It should strengthen the skin barrier, reduce redness, and help defend against environmental stressors, all while absorbing quickly and not clogging pores.

Look for ingredients that hydrate, soothe, and protect sensitive skin, such as:

Glycerin ~ helps sensitive skin stay hydrated by drawing in moisture, preventing dryness, irritation, and discomfort.

Peptides ~ peptides, like Argireline, reinforce the skin barrier, reduce inflammation and enhance hydration without heaviness to make skin more resilient and less reactive over time.

Antioxidants ~ to help protect against environmental damage and soothes irritation. Look for ingredients like Vitamin C, Vitamin E or Chaga Mushroom. 

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) ~ helps support the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and even out skin tone without causing irritation.

Oat Extract ~ naturally calming and anti-inflammatory, ideal for reducing sensitivity and restoring balance.

Our nurturing Silver Serum combines Argireline, antioxidant-rich Chaga and anti-inflammatory Silver Hydrosol to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture. It absorbs easily, providing lightweight nourishment without causing congestion or irritation.
