Want to find out more about why this set may be for you? Join us on a deep dive into the ingredients featured...

Cannabidiol (cbd)

Offers Potent Skin Nourishment

Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is a naturally-derived ingredient from the hemp plant. It helps soothe, calm and moisturize by supporting your skin’s natural endocannabinoid system. The term Endocannabinoid system sounds like a mouthful - it’s basically a network of lipids (fats) within the body which regulate the brain, endocrine* and immune systems. When used in skincare, CBD can revitalize the look and feel of stressed and problematic skin, helping to give a healthy, youthful-looking appearance.

Licorice Root Extract

The Soothing Hydrator

When isolated from the licorice plant, this natural herb visibly improves the appearance of dry and damaged skin by reducing flaking and preserving moisture. Licorice root also contains deeply soothing and calming properties which are considered effective in alleviating the feel of stressed and angry skin.

Buriti Oil

The Skin-Restoring Agent

Buriti oil is a natural oil with a high concentration of essential fatty acids and vitamin A. It comes from the buriti tree, found throughout Brazil and central South America. The oil helps improve skin elasticity by deeply moisturizing dry, damaged skin. Easily absorbed, buriti oil also contains vitamin E to help protect against environmental stressors.

Approved Allergen Free

Recognized and approved by the National Psoriasis Foundation, the Sensitive skin Therapy regimen is also suitable for individuals living with psoriasis and other severe sensitive skin conditions. The collection is free of the 26 known allergens as well as fragrance, gluten, sulfates, silicones, parabens, formaldehyde, butylene- & propylene-glycol, PEG, phthalates, BHA and BHT.
