Sensitive & Reactive Skin

For skin that reacts easily

Sensitive or reactive skin tends to respond quickly to change — new products, weather, shaving, stress, or hormonal fluctuations. It may sting, flush, itch, or feel uncomfortable without an obvious trigger.

In many cases, sensitivity is not a permanent skin type but a sign that the skin barrier is under pressure. When the barrier is compromised, skin becomes more vulnerable to irritation, inflammation, and imbalance.

Menteath formulations are designed to support calm and reduce reactivity by prioritising barrier care, gentle nourishment, and sensory balance — avoiding harsh, stripping ingredients that can intensify sensitivity.

Sensitive skin often benefits from consistency, simplicity, and products that work with the skin’s natural rhythms rather than forcing change.

Sensitive or reactive skin may experience:

Redness or burning sensations
Stinging after cleansing or shaving
Flare-ups linked to stress or fatigue
Difficulty tolerating active ingredients

How Menteath supports sensitive & reactive skin

Our approach focuses on:

Supporting the skin barrier
Calming visible signs of stress and reactivity
Using aroma gently, as part of a grounding ritual
Maintaining balance through morning and night routines

Rather than overwhelming sensitive skin, Menteath encourages a steady, restorative rhythm that allows skin to settle and regain resilience over time.
