Sensitive Skin 101: How to Choose a Gentle, Non-Irritating Body Lotion
Sensitive skin can feel like a guessing game—one wrong ingredient and you’re dealing with redness, itching, or breakouts. But that doesn’t mean you have to skip body lotion altogether. The key is choosing a formula that soothes and strengthens your skin without triggering irritation.
Here’s how to pick the perfect body lotion for sensitive skin—and why 360Feel might be just what your skin needs.
🚫 Avoid Harsh Ingredients
Many mass-market lotions contain alcohols, artificial fragrances, or parabens that strip and irritate the skin barrier.
What to avoid:
- Synthetic dyes and perfumes
- Sulfates or harsh preservatives
- Alcohol-based formulas
✅ Look for Natural, Soothing Ingredients
Gentle, plant-based ingredients deliver hydration without the side effects.
360Feel favorites include:
- Shea Butter – deeply moisturizing and anti-inflammatory
- Almond Oil – lightweight and nourishing
- Lavender Essential Oil – calming and antimicrobial
- Aloe Vera – soothing and cooling
💧 Stick to Lightweight, Non-Clogging Formulas
Sensitive skin can react to thick, greasy products. Look for lotions that absorb quickly and don’t leave residue behind.
Try this:
Lavender Body Lotion – a calming, non-irritating favorite that hydrates without heaviness.
🌸 Unscented vs. Naturally Scented
While fragrance-free is usually safest, naturally scented lotions made with essential oils (not synthetic perfumes) can offer both skin and aromatherapy benefits.
Great choices:
- Lavender Patchouli Lotion – great for sensitive skin with a gentle, relaxing scent
- Lemongrass Body Lotion – fresh, clean, and skin-friendly
✨ Patch Test Before Full Use
Even with gentle ingredients, do a patch test on a small area of skin for 24 hours—especially if you have a history of reactions.
