Skin Hydrating Face Wash with Aloe Vera Cucumber and Lavender | For Dry Skin

• Cucumber extract soothes inflamed, reactive, and sun-exposed skin — reducing redness on contact
• Aloe vera deeply hydrates and replenishes the moisture barrier during cleansing — preventing post-wash dryness
• Lavender oil calms skin nerve sensitivity and provides mild antiseptic protection without harsh chemicals
• Gentle enough for daily use on sensitive, post-procedure, or eczema-adjacent skin
• Does not disrupt the delicate skin barrier — making it safe for chronically dry and sensitive skin types
• Sodium PCA (a natural skin humectant) actively draws moisture into the skin during the cleansing process
• Free from artificial colours, sulphates (SLS/SLES), parabens, and known sensitising fragrances
• pH-optimised to be compatible with sensitive skin's already-fragile acid mantle

• Step 1 — Use cool or lukewarm water only. Hot water is particularly damaging to sensitive skin — it strips the lipid layer and triggers flushing and redness.
• Step 2 — Apply a small amount of face wash to damp face.
• Step 3 — Massage in very light, gentle circular motions. Do not apply pressure or friction — gentle is the operative word.
• Step 4 — Rinse thoroughly and completely.
• Step 5 — Pat dry very gently with a soft, clean towel. Do not rub. Apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturiser immediately — within 30 seconds of patting dry, while skin is still slightly damp, for maximum hydration retention.
  
  For very sensitive or very dry skin: Once-daily evening use may be sufficient. Over-cleansing is a common error that worsens sensitivity.
  
  Post-procedure use: Only if cleared by your dermatologist. Use with minimal friction and cool water.

Full Ingredient List:
Aqua, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Panthenol, Allantoin, Sodium PCA, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate.

Key Ingredient Breakdown:

• Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract: Cucumber's skin benefits go beyond the popular image of cucumber slices on eyes. The extract contains:
  - Cucurbitacins: Tetracyclic triterpenoids with documented anti-inflammatory activity. Inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines, reducing skin redness and swelling.
  - Silica: A trace mineral that strengthens the connective tissue framework of the skin and supports the structural integrity of the epidermal barrier.
  - Vitamin K: Promotes microcirculation and reduces visible redness from blood vessel dilation (relevant for rosacea-adjacent sensitivity).
  - High water content (~96%): Provides immediate cooling and hydrating effect on the skin surface.
  
• Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil: Contains linalool (~38%) and linalyl acetate (~29%) as primary actives:
  - Linalool: Demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity, reducing the release of histamine (which triggers itch and redness). Also has mild local anaesthetic properties — it reduces the sensitivity of skin nerve endings, which is why lavender calms reactive, stinging skin.
  - Linalyl Acetate: Provides the mild antiseptic action that makes lavender effective against surface bacteria without the harshness of synthetic antibacterials.
  Used at cosmetic concentrations well below the IFRA sensitisation threshold.
  
• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract: The polysaccharide acemannan in aloe vera forms a water-binding film on the skin surface, providing sustained hydration. The enzyme bradykinase reduces inflammation. Vitamins C and E provide antioxidant protection.
  
• Sodium PCA: The sodium salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid — a naturally occurring component of the skin's own Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF). PCA is one of the most effective humectants in cosmetic science, attracting and retaining atmospheric moisture in the skin.
  
• Allantoin: Accelerates skin cell turnover and regeneration while soothing irritation — particularly valuable for sensitive skin recovering from environmental damage.
