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 exists 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.
