Sensitive Skin

According to the NIH, it is estimated that up to 70% of women and 50–60% of men report having some level of sensitive skin. Sensitive has been defined by the International Forum for the Study of Itch (IFSI) as unpleasant sensations (stinging, burning, pain, pruritus, and tingling sensations) in response to stimuli that normally should not provoke such sensations. Finding appropriate skincare is often a tricky search for individuals looking for sensitive skin face wash or other facial products that won’t trigger or further irritate their condition. ...

Our Sensi Wash is an ideal gentle face wash for sensitive skin, made with calming oat extract and free of any SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate, a surfactant or detergent) dyes or artificial fragrances. It actually calms skin as it gently cleanses. The creamy texture immediately comforts irritated skin and does not strip skin of its natural oils.

The next step in a facial regimen is typically a toner. Since most toners contain either alcohol or other irritating ingredients, it can be a challenge to find a toner for sensitive skin. This is why we developed Blue Butterfly Calming Toner with extracts of blue butterfly flower, olive leaf and aloe vera; all known for providing relief for sensitive skin. It provides a soothing boost of hydration throughout the day.

Another tricky skincare item to find is the best acne treatment for sensitive skin. Here too, many products are developed with aggressive ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, that may be effective in treating acne, though can also cause irritation. Super Clear is a unique acne treatment serum that is packed with natural, gentle acne-fighting ingredients, such as Canadian Willow, brown algae and marigold flower extract. Super Clear is tough on acne and gentle on your skin. Retinol is a must have for smoother, brighter, and younger looking skin. But for sensitive skin types, most retinol serums are too harsh. The best retinol for sensitive skin is Retinū, free from parabens, lanolin, fragrances or artificial dyes. It will rejuvenate your skin to diminish fine lines and wrinkles without the irritation.

We saved our fave for last, Blue Butterfly Balm, our best moisturizer for sensitive skin. We actually call it a skin comfort balm because that’s exactly what it does - immediately soothes and comforts irritated skin. A must have for cold, dry, winter months or hot and dry summer days. Use it day or night to soothe skin and replenish with antioxidants and natural oils. Its natural crystal blue color is derived from the Blue Butterfly Pea flower. And the all-natural scent, pure heaven! It’s no wonder everyone is obsessed with this product.
