Hydrating creams for sensitive skin

Many people experience sensitive skin, which means the skin overreacts to triggers that wouldn’t bother others. This can be caused by a combination of external and internal factors:

External factors

• Weather conditions: pollution, wind, extreme temperatures or sudden changes in climate can all make your skin more reactive
• Excessive washing or exfoliating: damaging your skin barrier by cleansing too often or using aggressive scrubs/acids can increase sensitivity
• Inappropriate skincare: ingredients like alcohol, fragrance or essential oils can irritate the skin, especially when used in high concentrations or in combination with exfoliants
• UV exposure: too much sun can thin the skin and increase its vulnerability to irritation
• Allergens and irritants: reactions to ingredients in cosmetics, laundry detergents or even clothing fabrics can lead to burning, stinging or redness

Internal factors

• Compromised skin barrier: when your skin’s protective layer is damaged due to dehydration, genetics, or overuse of active ingredients, it becomes more sensitive
• Genetics: some people simply have a naturally thinner or more reactive skin type
• Medical conditions: eczema, rosacea or dermatitis often go hand in hand with increased skin sensitivity
• Stress: mental or physical stress can affect your skin’s inflammatory response and make it more reactive
• Nutrition: consuming too much alcohol or spicy food, or lacking essential nutrients (like omega-3 fatty acids or zinc) can increase sensitivity
• Hormonal changes: hormonal fluctuations during your menstrual cycle, pregnancy or menopause can influence your skin's sensitivity

All JUGE products have been patch tested on 20 individuals with sensitive skin, and none experienced any allergic or irritating reactions.

For added reassurance, we recommend testing any new product on a small area of your inner arm before full use.

At JUGE, we take a different approach to sourcing raw materials: instead of focusing solely on natural ingredients (which can put a strain on nature) we prioritize truly sustainable options.

These include innovative raw materials derived from biotechnology, ensuring high performance and reliability while preserving the planet.

No, animal testing for cosmetic purposes has been prohibited since 2009, with further extension in 2013.

It’s important to note that claiming “not tested on animals” simply reflects legal compliance and is therefore not an ethical claim to make in our regard.
