Living Nature Sensitive Cleanser — A Clinically Proven, Soap-Free Cleanser That Calms While It Cleans
For skin that reacts to almost everything, the Sensitive Cleanser by Living Nature offers a rare gentleness — a soap-free, pH-balanced formula that lifts makeup and daily debris without ever compromising the skin's delicate barrier. Grounded in 29 years of New Zealand natural skincare expertise, it draws on the ancient skin-calming wisdom of Harakeke Flax Extract alongside the nourishing richness of Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, delivering an immediate sensation of relief and softness with each use. It is the cleanser for skin that has simply had enough — leaving it settled, calm, and quietly radiant rather than stripped and reactive.
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration | Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Organic Virgin Coconut Oil | Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil | High | Emollient / Antimicrobial | Gently dissolves makeup and impurities; softens and conditions without stripping; lauric acid delivers broad-spectrum anti-bacterial activity |
| Harakeke Flax Extract | Phormium Tenax Extract | High | Anti-inflammatory / Soothing Polysaccharide | Derived from native New Zealand flax; forms a calming film on skin; reduces redness and irritation; delivers immediate cooling and relief to sensitised or compromised skin |
The Sensitive Cleanser operates on a dual-action principle of gentle lipid-based emulsification and active biological soothing. Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, rich in medium-chain fatty acids including lauric acid, breaks down surface impurities and makeup through oil-affinity cleansing rather than harsh surfactant action, preserving the skin's natural lipid matrix. Harakeke Flax Extract contributes a clear polysaccharide gel that forms a protective, anti-inflammatory layer at the skin surface, interrupting the inflammatory signalling cascade associated with chronic sensitivity conditions such as eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. The pH-balanced, soap-free base ensures the acid mantle remains intact throughout cleansing, preventing the transepidermal water loss and reactive tightness commonly triggered by conventional cleansers on compromised skin.
- Chronic skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and persistent allergic reactivity
- Post-procedure or sensitised skin requiring a fragrance-free, allergen-free cleansing step
- Very dry or mature skin that suffers tightness, flaking, or stinging in response to standard cleansers
