Customized sensitive skin care concepts

Surveys show that nearly every second adult views his or her skin as sensitive. And they’re hardly alone: babies’ and children’s skin are described to be the most sensitive of all. Sensitive skin is typically thin or fine-textured; it reacts to a number of factors, such as the environment, cosmetics, rough textiles and wool.

Stress is another factor, as is consumers’ high demand for hygiene and cleanliness. People suffering from sensitive skin often complain about cutaneous reactions such as stinging, itching and tightness and about hypersensitivity to surfactant formulations. What all this means, of course, is that sensitive skin needs sensitive care.

Such care begins with consumer products based on mild components and enriched with special care ingredients or soothing actives. This improves the skin’s resistance to stress and calms its reaction. All Cognis products are backed up by a toxicological and dermatological evaluation to meet the highest quality standards.
