Gentle exfoliator for sensitive skin
Gentle Exfoliator for Sensitive Skin is a soft, careful exfoliator for sensitive skin, created for dry, delicate or easily unsettled complexions that still need a weekly polish. Made with organic chamomile floral water, organic aloe vera juice and finely ground biodegradable almond shell, it helps lift away surface dullness so skin feels smoother, fresher and comfortable after rinsing.
This face exfoliator for sensitive skin is part of our Gentle skincare range. It has a light natural aroma from chamomile and lavender, a fresh gel texture, and a comfortable after-feel — never tight or stripped.
Previously featured in True Health Magazine and shortlisted in the prestigious Free From Skincare Awards.
Why choose an exfoliator for sensitive skin?
Sensitive-feeling skin can still benefit from exfoliation, but the approach needs to be slow, light and occasional. Harsh scrubs, heavy pressure or over-exfoliation can leave skin feeling tight, so this formula is designed for a softer weekly routine.
Used with gentle circular motions, this face scrub for sensitive skin helps polish rough or dry-feeling areas while keeping comfort at the centre. It is especially useful before serum or moisturiser, as skin can feel smoother and better prepared for the next step.
