Gentle Exfoliator for Sensitive Skin is a soft weekly face polish created for dry, delicate and sensitive-feeling skin. Made with organic chamomile floral water, organic aloe vera juice and finely ground biodegradable almond shell, it gently lifts away surface dullness so skin feels smoother, fresher and comfortable after rinsing.
This face exfoliator for sensitive skin has a light gel texture and a soft natural aroma from chamomile and lavender. It is part of our Gentle skincare range, created for skin that needs a careful approach rather than harsh scrubbing.
Previously featured in True Health Magazine and shortlisted in the prestigious Free From Skincare Awards.
Why Choose Gentle Exfoliator?
Sensitive or dry skin can still benefit from exfoliation, but frequency and pressure matter. Heavy scrubbing or exfoliating too often can leave delicate skin feeling tight or uncomfortable, so Gentle is designed to provide a light, occasional polish.
Used with very gentle circular movements, this gentle face scrub for sensitive skin helps smooth rough or dry-feeling areas without the need for aggressive pressure.
“Love this so much! It’s my favourite scrub/exfoliator that I’ve ever used. It’s so gentle on the skin & the smell is divine.” – Kirsty, Scotland

FAQs
How often should I use an exfoliator for sensitive skin?
Start every 7–10 days. Sensitive or dry-feeling skin generally benefits from occasional exfoliation rather than frequent scrubbing. If your skin stays comfortable, you can gradually move to once weekly.
Is this suitable for dry skin as well as sensitive skin?
Yes. Gentle is designed for both dry and sensitive-feeling skin and is the softest physical exfoliator in our skin-type range.
Will this face scrub feel abrasive?
It is designed to be used with very light pressure. Customers often describe it as gentle and non-abrasive, but you should still avoid pressing hard or exfoliating too frequently.
Is Gentle Exfoliator an organic exfoliator?
It contains certified organic botanicals including chamomile floral water, aloe vera juice and lavender essential oil. See the Ingredients dropdown for the complete INCI list.
Should I cleanse before exfoliating?
Yes. Cleansing first removes everyday surface dirt and prepares the skin for your exfoliation step. Our Gentle Face Wash is designed for dry and sensitive-feeling skin.
