The product is described as pH neutral and contains cocoa butter and vitamin E (tocopherol) as key functional ingredients — a relatively short, fragrance-free-looking profile that reduces the chance of irritation. However, "sensitive" is not a regulated cosmetic claim, and individual reactivity varies. The manufacturer advises introducing any new cosmetic product gradually if the skin is very sensitive or damaged. Start by applying a thin layer to one forearm or behind the ear once daily for three to five days. If no redness, itching, or stinging appears, extend use to the intended areas.
For compromised barriers (post-procedure, eczema flare, windburn), apply to clean, slightly damp skin to minimise friction. Avoid combining with strong actives like retinoids, high-percentage AHAs/BHAs, or benzoyl peroxide in the same routine initially; alternate nights or use the cream as a buffer 20 minutes after the active. Vitamin E is generally well tolerated but can rarely cause contact allergy; if you have a known tocopherol sensitivity, check the full INCI on the jar before buying. Store the jar tightly closed at room temperature; cocoa butter can crystallise if repeatedly heated and cooled, creating a grainy texture that doesn't affect efficacy but feels less pleasant.
