Nourishing Serum for Sensitive Skin with Organic Botanical Oils
Our award-winning Gentle Serum for sensitive skin is a rich yet easily absorbed facial oil-serum created for skin that is sensitive, dry, tight-feeling or in need of extra nourishment. It combines organic jojoba and avocado oils with calendula, rosehip, apricot kernel and carrot seed oils to help replenish moisture and leave skin feeling softer, smoother and more comfortable.
Gentle is especially useful when your skin feels delicate, easily unsettled or persistently dry and you want a concentrated serum for dry skin without a complicated routine. Only a few drops are needed, making it an easy step to use before moisturiser morning or evening.

Botanical Oils for Sensitive or Dry Skin
Gentle Serum is built around a blend of plant oils selected for their ability to condition and nourish dry-feeling skin. Rather than relying on one hero ingredient alone, the formula combines oils with different textures and fatty-acid profiles to create a richer treatment step for sensitive or dry skin.
Organic Jojoba Oil
Lightweight and easily absorbed, jojoba helps reduce moisture loss and leaves skin feeling soft and supple without a heavy, greasy finish. You can also explore our Organic Jojoba Oil as a simple standalone facial oil.
Organic Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is a rich emollient containing skin-conditioning lipids and naturally occurring antioxidants. Its richer texture makes it particularly useful in a serum for dry skin, helping areas that feel rough or depleted feel more comfortable and nourished.
Organic Calendula Oil
Calendula has a long history of use in gentle botanical skincare. In Gentle Serum it contributes to the soothing, comforting character of the formula and makes a natural partner for skin that feels sensitive, dry or easily unsettled.
Organic Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil is rich in essential fatty acids and naturally occurring carotenoids. It is widely used in facial oils for dry and mature-looking skin and helps support a softer, smoother and more supple appearance. You can also explore our Organic Rosehip Oil.
Apricot Kernel Oil
Apricot kernel oil is a light, easily absorbed oil rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids. It helps soften dry-feeling skin and complements the richer oils in the blend, making the serum nourishing without feeling excessively heavy. Our Apricot Kernel Oil is also available separately.
Carrot Seed Oil
Carrot seed oil adds another botanical element to the formula and contains naturally occurring antioxidant compounds. Used in small amounts within facial oil blends, it complements the nourishing oils in Gentle Serum and supports the overall conditioning feel of the product.
“My skin is definitely softer, smoother and better hydrated at the end of the month. As a result, fine lines are less obvious. This facial serum is amazing under makeup.” — Free From Skincare Awards judging panel
How to Use Gentle Serum
Apply a few drops to freshly cleansed skin and gently massage over the face and neck. Allow the serum to absorb before following with your usual moisturiser.
It can be used in the morning, evening or both, depending on how your skin feels. If your skin is particularly dry, concentrate a little more product on areas that feel tight or rough.
Gentle Serum also layers well beneath moisturiser and makeup, making it useful when you want additional nourishment without adding another complicated step to your routine.
