Products we love from PR for sensitive skin: Facial Cleaners

Welcome to Sensata Care's sensitive community, where we share the brands our founder has taken time research and often try. 

We seek out local brands that are safe for sensitive skin and focused on sensitive skin, clean ingredients, or sustainability.

We want to help our sensitive skin community here in Puerto Rico with finding local brands to support, just like Sensata Care.

FACIAL CLEANERS

Products that focus on cleaning the face have a more strict criteria to be safe for sensitive skin. This is because the skin on our face, neck and chest are most visible and impacted by the elements.

The #1 requirements is that there is complete ingredient transparency and that includes sharing the ingredient's natural derivative. Our other requirements are no added or artificial fragrances or dyes, and no synthetic ingredients. We also look for products that do not use soy or palm oil as they are irritants.
