Soothing Care for Sensitive Skin
Specifically reduces redness, tightness, and skin irritation

Sensitive skin often reacts to external aggressors, unsuitable skincare products, or a weakened skin barrier. A targeted skincare routine for sensitive skin can help reduce irritation and support the skin barrier over time.
WHY SOOTHING SKINCARE IS ESSENTIAL
When the skin barrier is compromised, the skin loses moisture and becomes more vulnerable to external stressors. Harmful substances can penetrate more easily and intensify irritation.
Soothing skincare helps to:
Reduce redness by calming inflammatory processes
Relieve itching through balancing and irritation-reducing ingredients
Minimize tightness by providing intensive hydration
Strengthen the skin barrier for greater resilience against external aggressors
The goal is not to overwhelm the skin, but to gently relieve it and sustainably strengthen the skin barrier.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS WITH SOOTHING PROPERTIES
The Olive Sensitive skincare range is specially developed to gently care for sensitive skin and maintain its natural balance.
A combination of botanical extracts and nourishing lipids plays a key role in effective soothing skincare:
Olive Leaf Extract (Olea Europaea Leaf Extract): provides antioxidant protection and helps defend the skin against free radicals that may trigger irritation
Oat Extract (Avena Sativa Kernel Extract): soothes sensitive skin, reduces redness, and helps retain moisture over time
Witch Hazel Extract (Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract): has calming properties and supports the regeneration of irritated skin
Echinacea Extract (Echinacea Purpurea Extract): may help reduce inflammatory responses and support the skin’s natural defense system
NOURISHING LIPIDS FOR A STRONGER SKIN BARRIER
Olive Oil (Olea Europaea Fruit Oil): strengthens the skin barrier and improves softness
Cupuaçu Butter (Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter): provides intense hydration and helps prevent moisture loss
Squalane: improves skin elasticity and reduces transepidermal water loss
A combination of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-based ingredients supports long-lasting skin comfort.
WHEN DOES SKIN NEED SOOTHING CARE?
Soothing skincare is especially important for:
- acutely irritated skin
- visible redness
- tightness after cleansing
- reactions to new skincare products
- dry, stressed, or reactive skin
In these situations, skincare should be simplified and focus on calming and restoring balance.
