Skin Care Secrets Revealed: Causes and Treatment of Sensitive Skin

sensitive skinby Kolbjorn Borseth

Sensitivity is a skin condition that continues to grow in interest with 10% to 20% of Europeans suffering from a dermatologist-assessed sensitive skin. In addition, there exist an increasing number of people with self-perceived “sensitive skin”. This number has doubled from 25% in the 1980s to almost 50% of people now claiming to have “reactive skin”. Given this situation, a significant market has developed for Skin Care products designed to target this population sub-group.

In order to choose the right combination of active ingredients to enter this product category, we first need to understand the properties of the skin condition itself. A weakened skin barrier and an increased sensory input will result in overloading our own natural defense mechanisms resulting in a skin reaction.

I believe that an adapted Skin Care Active should have both barrier maintenance and repair properties, as well as an anti-inflammatory or soothing activity. Also, because “reactive skin” has a higher sensitivity, we should try to reduce the reaction probability of the skin itself.

To get an overview of what Aromantic can provide for sensitive skin requirements, I will mention raw materials that are special for that skin type, although that doesn’t mean you should avoid the other raw materials. I hope this helps those of you who either have sensitive skin or make products for people who have sensitive skin.
