Tightness, Flaking, and Sensitivity

Natural, Organic Product Suggestions that help reduce Tightness, Flaking, and Sensitivity caused by increased TEWL—without relying on synthetic irritants.

🌿 1. Barrier-Replenishing Oils

  • Squalane (olive- or sugarcane-derived) – lightweight, non-comedogenic, great for repairing the moisture barrier.
  • Jojoba oil – mimics skin’s natural sebum; excellent for soothing sensitivity.
  • Rosehip seed oil – rich in essential fatty acids that help strengthen the barrier.

🧴 2. Gentle Organic Moisturizers

Look for creams containing:

  • Shea butter (deeply nourishing)
  • Aloe vera (soothes irritation)
  • Calendula (reduces redness and sensitivity)
  • Colloidal oatmeal (excellent for dryness and barrier repair)

💧 3. Hydrating Serums (Natural)

  • Hyaluronic acid from botanical fermentation
  • Glycerin (plant-derived)
  • Aloe vera gel
    These help draw water into the skin before sealing it in with a moisturizer.

🌸 4. Extra-Soothing Options

  • Chamomile extract – anti-inflammatory and great for sensitive skin
  • Centella asiatica (Cica) – repairs and calms irritation
  • Licorice root extract – helps reduce inflammation
