Choosing a Natural Cleanser for Sensitive, Reactive Skin
For sensitive, reactive skin, the gentlest natural cleanser removes the day without stripping your barrier. Look for low-foam, sulphate-free formulas with soothing ingredients rather than harsh detergents and fragrance. A cleanser built around tremella mushroom, which holds many times its weight in water, cleanses while supporting hydration, so skin feels clean and comfortable rather than tight.
What to avoid in a cleanser
Sulphates and high-foaming detergents can strip the barrier and leave reactive skin tight and irritated. Added synthetic fragrance is another common trigger. A gentle, low-foam cleanser respects the barrier while still removing dirt and excess oil.
What to look for instead
