Why sensitive skin gives up on body lotions

Sensitive skin wants fewer ingredients, and a clear label.

Long ingredient lists make it hard to know what your skin is reacting to. And many body lotions rely on light oils that leave dry skin tight again by the afternoon.

This cream keeps to 30 ingredients, most of them plant butters, oils and extracts, and names every allergen on the label, so you can check before you buy.

The hero ingredients

Butters and oils, chosen with care

Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) · Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) · Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower)

Shea and cocoa butter are rich plant fats that soften the skin and slow water loss from its surface. Sunflower seed oil, second on the list, is rich in linoleic acid, a fatty acid the skin barrier uses.

In a small forearm study, pure sunflower oil kept the skin barrier intact and improved hydration, while pure olive oil weakened it. This cream contains both. Sunflower is the larger oil, olive sits eighth, and both are blended into a cream rather than used neat.

The research

What studies show about each ingredient.

These studies test an ingredient, usually in a different product. They explain why each ingredient is in this cream. They are not results for this cream.

Sunflower seed oil

Danby et al., 2013 · Pediatric Dermatology
What was tested

In a small study of 19 adults across two groups, one group applied sunflower seed oil to one forearm and olive oil to the other, twice a day for four weeks.

What they found

Sunflower seed oil preserved the skin barrier and improved hydration. Olive oil weakened the barrier.

What it doesn't prove

A small study of the pure oils on the forearm, not in a cream.

Shea butter and plant oils

Lin, Zhong & Santiago, 2017 · International Journal of Molecular Sciences (review)
What was tested

A review of research on plant oils and butters applied to skin.

What they found

Shea butter and several plant oils showed barrier-supporting and softening properties in the studies reviewed.

What it doesn't prove

A review of small studies, not a trial of our cream.

Read our full summary

Cocoa butter

Osman et al., 2008 · BJOG
What was tested

A double-blind, randomised trial in pregnant women, using cocoa butter lotion or a placebo lotion daily.

What they found

Cocoa butter lotion didn't reduce stretch marks compared with the placebo.

What it doesn't prove

It tested stretch marks, not dryness. We make no stretch-mark claim.

Read our full summary

Aloe vera

Dal'Belo et al., 2006 · Skin Research and Technology
What was tested

20 women used creams with 0.10–0.50% freeze-dried aloe on the forearm daily for two weeks.

What they found

Every aloe concentration raised the water content of the skin's outer layer.

What it doesn't prove

A small forearm study of a cream. It says nothing about lines or cleansing.

Read our full summary

Sodium PCA

Clar & Fourtanier, 1981 · International Journal of Cosmetic Science (review)
What was tested

A review of research on PCA, the largest single part of the skin's own natural moisturising factor.

What they found

Creams with at least 2% PCA or PCA salt improved dry skin.

What it doesn't prove

An older review, much of it the authors' own work. Our percentage isn't known.
