Which ingredients does sensitive skin need?

Properly caring for sensitive skin: These ingredients are crucial

Sensitive skin can quickly become a challenge in everyday life. Redness, tightness, or minor irritations often occur with even the slightest stimuli. It is all the more important to take a close look at which ingredients are part of the daily care routine – and which ones are best avoided.

What sensitive skin doesn't like

Certain ingredients can weaken the skin barrier or unnecessarily irritate it. These mainly include:

• Aggressive surfactants
  They are often found in shower gels or shampoos and, while they clean thoroughly, they often strip the skin of too much moisture. The natural balance is disrupted.

• High concentrations of alcohol
  While it may feel refreshing for a short time, it can dry out the skin and make it more sensitive in the long run.

• Synthetic fragrances and dyes
  These are among the most common triggers of redness, itching, and intolerances, especially for sensitive skin.

• Baking soda in deodorants
  Popular and effective in natural cosmetics, but not always well tolerated by sensitive skin and potentially irritating.

The better choice are gentle, as natural as possible ingredients that soothe, nourish, and specifically support the skin barrier.

Gentle active ingredients with real effect

In Queen of Green products, we deliberately rely on skin-friendly raw materials that do not overtax sensitive skin, but strengthen and protect it:

• • Calendula extract
    Has a soothing effect, supports regeneration and helps to alleviate redness. Ideal for stressed skin. That's why this active ingredient is included in all Queen of Green products.

  • Macadamia nut extract
    Rich in valuable fatty acids, it strengthens skin elasticity and intensely moisturizes sensitive skin. A real game changer in our lip care.

  • Almond oil
    A mild classic that protects the skin barrier and reduces irritation. Due to its good tolerability, it is also used in baby care. At Queen of Green, you can find it, for example, in the lip balm “Caring Caroline” and in the deodorant “Fresh Flora”.

  • Hyaluronic acid
    Provides intensive moisture, visibly plumps up the skin and ensures a fresh skin feeling without weighing it down. As it occurs naturally in the skin, it is usually very well tolerated even by sensitive skin. You can find it in our lip care "Sleepy Sophie" and in the hand balm "Ageless Alice".

  • Jojoba oil
    Strengthens the skin barrier, has an anti-inflammatory effect and protects against drying out. The so-called liquid gold is suitable for all skin types and even supports the prevention of premature skin aging. You can find it, among others, in our care product “Helpful Helena”.

  Conclusion: Fewer irritants, more skin balance

  Sensitive skin doesn't need complicated formulations, but rather well-thought-out, gentle ingredients. At Queen of Green, we consciously avoid potentially irritating additives and instead rely on proven active ingredients such as calendula, almond oil, or jojoba oil. The result is a care that works, is well tolerated, and respects both skin and environment.
