Why Sensitive Skin Needs Special Care
Reactive or sensitive skin is often a result of compromised skin barrier function, leading to increased inflammation, dryness, and redness. Harsh weather, over-exfoliation, allergies, or even stress can leave skin in a vulnerable state. FWBEAUTY’s Soothe and Calm Facial Oil is a blend of natural anti-inflammatories and skin-barrier supporting oils, designed to gently comfort and restore balance.
Key Ingredients & Their Soothing Powers
| Ingredient | Skin Benefits | Historical or Scientific Insight |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Tansy Oil | Rich in azulene, calms inflammation, reduces redness | Traditionally used in Moroccan herbalism; azulene is recognised in clinical dermatology for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions |
| Chamomile Oil | Calms hypersensitive skin, soothes itchiness | Used in European herbal medicine for centuries; shown to modulate inflammatory cytokines in skin conditions |
| Calendula Oil | Promotes healing, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial | Widely used in medieval and Ayurvedic skincare; modern studies show accelerated wound healing and improved hydration |
| Oat Kernel Oil | Restores skin barrier, rich in ceramides, reduces itch | Backed by clinical studies for its efficacy in treating eczema and dermatitis |
| Borage Seed Oil | High in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), reduces chronic inflammation | Extensively researched for skin disorders like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis |
| Squalane (Plant-Derived) | Hydrating, non-comedogenic, enhances skin softness | Mimics skin’s natural oils; proven to support skin barrier and reduce trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) |
The Science: Repairing the Skin Barrier
The skin barrier is your body’s frontline defence. When weakened, skin becomes prone to sensitivity, redness, and flare-ups. Oils like oat kernel, borage, and calendula are rich in essential fatty acids and anti-inflammatory agents, proven to reduce irritation and reinforce the skin’s natural shield.
A 2018 study in Frontiers in Pharmacology concluded that topical botanical oils “can restore barrier function, alleviate inflammation, and enhance skin healing”—especially valuable for those with eczema, rosacea, or general reactivity.
Ancient Herbal Wisdom Meets Modern Skincare
-
Chamomile and calendula have been key remedies in European apothecaries since the Middle Ages.
