Caring for sensitive skin correctly: These ingredients are decisive
Sensitive skin can quickly become a challenge in everyday life. Redness, feelings of tightness, or minor irritations often occur at the slightest stimulus. It is therefore all the more important to look closely at which ingredients are part of your daily skincare routine – and which ones are better avoided.
What sensitive skin does not like
Certain ingredients can weaken the skin barrier or irritate it unnecessarily. These include, above all:
-
Aggressive surfactants
They are often found in shower gels or shampoos and, while they clean thoroughly, they often strip too much moisture from the skin. The natural balance is thrown off. -
Alcohol in high concentrations
It feels refreshing for a short time, but can dry out the skin and make it more sensitive in the long term. -
Synthetic fragrances and dyes
They are among the most common triggers for 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 is gentle, as natural as possible ingredients that soothe, care for, and specifically support the skin barrier.
Gentle active ingredients with real effect
In Queen of Green products, we consciously rely on skin-friendly raw materials that do not overwhelm sensitive skin, but rather strengthen and protect it:
-
-
Calendula extract
Has a soothing effect, supports regeneration, and helps to alleviate redness. Ideal for stressed skin. That is why this active ingredient is contained in all Queen of Green products. -
Macadamia nut extract
Rich in valuable fatty acids, it strengthens skin elasticity and provides sensitive skin with intensive moisture. A real game changer in our lip care. -
Almond oil
A mild classic that protects the skin barrier and reduces irritation. Because of its good compatibility, it is also used in baby care. At Queen of Green, you will find it, for example, in the lip balm “Caring Caroline” and in the deodorant “Fresh Flora”. -
Hyaluronic acid
Provides intensive moisture, visibly plumps the skin, and ensures a fresh skin feel without weighing it down. Since it occurs naturally in the skin, it is usually very well tolerated by sensitive skin. You can find it in our lip care "Sleepy Sophie" and the hand balm "Ageless Alice". -
Jojoba oil
Strengthens the skin barrier, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and protects against drying out. This so-called liquid gold is suitable for all skin types and even helps prevent premature skin aging. You can find it, among other things, in our skincare “Helpful Helena”.
Conclusion: Fewer irritants, more skin balance
Sensitive skin does not 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 like calendula, almond oil, or jojoba oil. The result is skincare that works, is well tolerated, and strengthens the skin barrier.
