Sensitive skin calming essentials

Gentle formulations in this kit are designed to soothe and comfort reactive skin, helping to reduce redness and irritation.

A sensitive skin calming essentials kit gathers gentle, often fragrance-free products such as a mild cleanser and a simple moisturizer. It suits anyone whose skin reacts easily to scented products, including grandparents and new moms, because these formulas tend to keep ingredient lists short.
