Is this cream suitable for sensitive skin?

This cream contains two plant-based ingredients: shea butter and apricot kernel oil. Both are common in basic moisturisers and are chosen for their softening and smoothing effects. The formula is meant to be simple and uncomplicated, which can be a good fit for people who prefer a no-fuss routine.

However, the cream has a gentle fruity scent, so it is fragranced. Fragrance is one of the more common triggers for sensitive or easily irritated skin. For that reason, the product itself advises testing on a small area first. A good way to do this is to apply a little cream to the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours to see if any redness, itching or discomfort appears before using it on your face or over larger body areas.

If you have a chronic skin condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are on medication, consult a specialist before introducing a new cosmetic. This cream is intended for basic hydration and comfort.
