Shop sensitive skin (essential oil free)

My fragrance and essential oil free range has been formulated specifically for those with sensitive skin and those that wish to avoid essential oils in their skincare.These products will gently nourish and comfort the skin. Staying true to the rest of the Apothaka range, the Comforting range is formulated with light, easily absorbed oils.

Fragrance and essential oils contain some constituents that are potentially allergenic in some people (you will see these constituents commonly listed on full ingredients lists as they need to be declared in line with EU cosmetic regulations). Whilst many people are able to tolerate essential oils in skincare products, others may show sensitivity, particularly if the skin barrier is disrupted in any way. If you have a known sensitivity to fragrance / essential oils or if you are using strong actives in your skincare routine (retinoids, other acids etc), these essential oil free formulations will support the skin and minimise the risk of further disrupting your skin barrier.
