Hydrating Ingredients:
Key moisturizers include ceramides, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, squalane, plant oils (e.g., jojoba, shea butter), and emollients. Look for fragrance-free or gentle formulations if you have sensitive skin.

Gentle, Non-Stripping Cleanse:
Avoid harsh surfactants like sulfates. Opt for soap-free formulas with a balanced pH to preserve the skin’s natural oils and barrier.

Barrier Support:
Ingredients such as ceramides, niacinamide, and shea butter reinforce the skin’s protective layer and lock in moisture.

Fragrance Sensitivity:
For sensitive skin or to avoid irritation, fragrance-free options are safest. Otherwise, mild, natural fragrances can enhance the sensory experience.
