Why Sensitive Skin Needs Special Care

Sensitive skin reacts quickly. Weather, stress, new products — they can all cause redness, dryness, or irritation.

Many store-bought soaps:

  • Strip the skin with sulfates

  • Use synthetic fragrance that can cause itching

  • Lack the nutrients skin needs to heal and stay balanced

That’s why choosing a soap made for sensitive skin is so important.

What to Look for in Soap for Sensitive Skin

Look for artisan soaps that are:

  • Fragrance-free , made with natural essential oils or natural fragrances

  • Formulated with plant-based butters and oils

  • Oatmeal: Calms irritation and soothes redness

  • Chamomile: Reduces inflammation and supports skin recovery

  • Shea Butter: Deeply hydrates and softens without clogging pores

Why Cold Process Soap Works Best

Cold process soap retains more natural nutrients — especially glycerin, which helps the skin stay soft and hydrated.

It also:

  • Allows for gentle, customizable recipes

  • Keeps essential oils and herbs intact

  • Cures slowly to become extra mild
