Common questions
What ingredients should sensitive skin avoid?
Fragrance (parfum), alcohol denat, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), and chemical exfoliants at high concentrations are common triggers for sensitive skin. Patch testing is always recommended.
Is niacinamide good for sensitive skin?
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin and can help strengthen the skin barrier. At concentrations above 10%, some users report flushing. Start lower and build up.
What does fragrance-free mean on a product label?
Fragrance-free means no fragrance compounds have been added. "Unscented" products may still contain masking fragrances. Look for fragrance-free if you have contact dermatitis or reactive skin.
