Cacao Soothes By Stimulating Circulation

Cacao helps to deliver skin nourishing vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids.

The ancient Egyptians called Aloe Vera the “plant of immortality.” The plant is famous for its gentle yet regenerative properties. This extract is ultimately soothing, and has a longstanding reputation as a cooling serum that calms inflamed skin. It delivers a plethora of nutrients (such as Vitamin C and E) to the skin, while simultaneously acting as a non-greasy moisturizer.

Jojoba Seed Oil Improves Dryness and Skin Texture

Found in Odacité Jojoba Beads Exfoliator

Jojoba Seed oil is a non-fragrant serum that improves dryness and skin texture, without clogging pores. It is a rich source of fatty acids, which are key players in skin rejuvenation and clarity. Jojoba seed oil’s natural anti-microbial properties work to actively clear away impurities without requiring the aid of any harsh ingredients that may irritate sensitive skin.

French Pink Clay Purifies and Renews All Skin Types

Found in Herbivore Botanicals Pink Clay Cleansing Bar Soap

French Pink Clay is perfect for sensitive skin because it is known for drawing out and absorbing impurities (such as dirt, makeup, bacteria, oils, and dead skin cells) without drying the skin, as many other clays are known to do. Its gentle cleansing properties are not too harsh. The clay contains a high concentration of minerals that purify, renew, and refresh any skin type. It brightens the complexion using a gentle and luxurious blend of natural ingredients. This clay can be just as effective as exfoliation but without the negative side effects such as skin irritation.

Chamomile Minimizes Redness

Found in Odacité Camelina Chamomile Serum Concentrate

Chamomile is known as one of the most soothing herbs in existence, and that reputation extends to its ability to treat the skin. Chamomile contains many powerful active ingredients that contribute to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiseptic properties. Gentle Chamomile soothes skin, minimizes redness, and effectively calms and relaxes the nervous system.

These naturally gentle, yet nutrient dense ingredients, will work to actively improve the condition of even the most sensitive skin, soothing and calming the skin without any of the adverse side effects that come along with many chemically laden products. Give them a try and your skin will thank you.
