Products we love from PR for sensitive skin: Skin Scrubs
We share skin scrub products from Puerto Rican brands we love that are safe for sensitive skin.
Welcome to Sensata Care's sensitive community where we share the brands I have taken time to find and research.
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.
SKIN SCRUBS
We are lucky to have local brands here in Puerto Rico making skin scrub products, especially coffee-based options.
For this brand list, we focused on clean ingredients, no added fragrances or dyes. These are the top two types of ingredients that have a negative effect on sensitive skin.
Finding brands that did not use added fragrances turned out to be harder than we thought. Due to this, we focused on a list of products that give us transparency into ingredients, have no added fragrances, no dyes, and no soy or nut ingredients.
