These factors make the skin more delicate, sensitive and irritable.

As a consequence, the cosmetic ingredients able to soothe sensitive skins are booming! Especially natural extracts and herbs that have always been used in traditional medicine. Among these rediscovered, Centella Asiatica is undoubtedly one of the most suitable ingredients for sensitive skin.
