Calming Ingredients
Anti-inflammatory botanicals and soothing compounds that strengthen the skin’s natural defenses
Chamomile and
Skin Inflammation
A 2022 study in Pharmaceuticals demonstrated that apigenin and other flavonoids in chamomile exhibit significant anti-inflammatory activity, making it effective for calming reactive skin and conditions like dermatitis.
Aloe Vera’s
Anti-Inflammatory Action
As reviewed in Nonvitamin and Nonmineral Nutritional Supplements, aloe vera’s bioactive compounds—including acemannan and glucomannan—aid in reducing inflammation, stimulating cell regeneration, and moisturizing the skin.
CBD and Skin
Inflammation
A study in Antioxidants showed that CBD regulates inflammatory pathways in skin cells, helping reduce symptoms of conditions like acne and eczema.
Sensitive skin is often the result of an impaired barrier, allowing irritants to penetrate and trigger inflammatory responses. Calming ingredients act at the biochemical level by inhibiting pro-inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, cytokines, and histamines. Compounds like bisabolol and cannabidiol (CBD) reduce the expression of these molecules, instantly helping the skin feel more comfortable.
Botanical extracts like chamomile and aloe vera are rich in flavonoids, phenolic acids, and polysaccharides that not only reduce inflammation but also support skin regeneration and hydration. Many of these compounds act as natural antihistamines and antioxidant shields, helping defend against both internal and external stressors. The result? Skin that feels less reactive and more resilient.
