skin stress

Ease into it: Painful but necessary... we recommend only introducing 1 new product to your routine at a time, and use it consistently for at least 2-3 weeks before adding in anything else. To start, patch test on a small area to see how your skin reacts. After patch testing, move to once daily application. If all signs look clear, you’re safe for regular use!

Regular use: Apply a small amount to your skin twice daily, at morning and at night, to clean, slightly damp skin. Works great as a buffer or sandwich for your favorite retinoid. For extra hydration, layer this under your favorite occlusive- we love plain old petroleum jelly.

  • We prioritize the use of lab-created, safe synthetics, bio-fermented, and biotech ingredients in all our formulas.
  • We use these ingredients because they're more effective than a lot of wild-grown counterparts, they're free of pesticides and environmental contaminants, and we have better visibility into the working conditions of those in the supply chain.
  • We choose to minimize the number of harvested ingredients in our formulas because they can deplete the already dwindling natural resources of our planet and we have no visibility into the working conditions of the individuals harvesting the ingredients.
  • The outer paperboard packaging can be placed in the recycling
  • The product pump and lid is made entirely from polypropylene (PP) mono material. Mono material airless pumps have a higher likelihood of being recycled as they contain no metal parts
  • We chose PP plastic because its environmental impact is significantly lower than that of other plastics
  • PP has high recyclability, doesn't release harmful chemicals into the environment when recycled and doesn't generate any toxic fumes when burned
  • When your product is empty, simply place the cap back on and put it in your recycling bin
  • Due to the airless pump technology, there is no need to open and rinse out your product beforehand

We recognize that all packaging has an impact on the people who harvest the raw materials and the planet. We're working to optimize and minimize this impact as part of our long-term strategy.

High-Impact Ingredients

All our formulas contain evidence-backed active ingredients at the correct concentration and pH to maximize effectiveness. 

Panthenol

Also known as pro-vitamin B5, Panthenol is a sensitive and acne-prone skin powerhouse. Panthenol is clinically proven to decrease redness and irritation in the skin, and assist in barrier repair and wound healing. Panthenol is unmatched for counteracting irritation and dryness from strong actives and acne treatments.

  • Clinically proven to aid in barrier repair and skin regeneration by increasing intercellular lipid lamellae
  • Prevents water loss from the skin, making it more resistant to irritation and external aggressors.
  • Helps to decrease the look of redness in the skin by by inhibiting pro-inflammatory skin factors
Ectoin

Ectoin is a novel ingredient that helps to shield and protect skin from irritation and external aggressors while at the same time acting as a potent humectant.

  • Highly effective at increasing skin hydration by forming a protective shield around the skin
  • Helps to provide relief from itching, burning, redness and irritation by targeting inflammatory skin markers
  • Protects skin from external aggressors by helping to stabilize lipid structures in the skin
Sensitive Skin Peptide

Also known as Amidinobenzyl Benzylsulfonyl D-Seryl Homophenylalaninamide Acetate (wow that’s a long one!). A new synthetic peptide that helps to fight against dryness, irritation, and redness by boosting good skin bacteria.

  • Inhibits Urokinase and Plasmin downstream pathways—two processes that are responsible for a compromised barrier and increased levels of skin inflammation
  • Reduces skin microbiome markers associated with redness and irritation
  • Increases skin resilience by restoring integrity to the outermost layer of skin (Stratum Corneum)
Prebiotics & Postbiotics

Give the good bacteria on your skin the fuel they need to thrive long term. A balanced microbiome helps to give your skin the ability to defend itself against inflammation, stress, and irritation. 

  • Xylitol-based plant sugars offer multi-layer hydration and prebiotic support
  • Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide and Inulin derived from Chicory Root provides gentle protection and promote a diverse skin microbiome
  • Trehalose and Polyglutamic acid give your skin’s microbiome the good stuff it needs to stay hydrated and resilient even in low-humidity conditions
Betaine & Glyceryl Glucoside

A soothing duo to hydrate your skin. Both promote moisture retention—and Betaine doubles up as a calming agent. Think Glycerin, but no stickiness. 

  • Betaine has calming, soothing properties and a higher water-binding capacity than Glycerin
  • Glyceryl Glucoside minimizes moisture loss and supports the skin’s aquaporin system
  • Both ingredients help to balance skin’s hydration by regulating the cell’s moisture content

Frequently Asked Questions

You don’t need to have all the answers. That’s what we’re here for. For more questions visit our full FAQ page or contact us.

Super Sensa has a gel-cream texture and has been formulated to work on all skin types. If you have drier skin or live in a very dry climate you may want to layer on a basic occlusive like petroleum jelly to lock in hydration after application.

Yes! Super Sensa is Fungal Acne Safe. It excludes the commonly found plant oils, fatty alcohols, and esters that can contribute to these types of breakouts. It’s also safe for Seborrheic Dermatitis. 

We formulated Super Sensa to meet the unique needs of different skin tones.

For non-melanated skin, Super Sensa contains ingredients designed to help minimize redness, decrease irritation and decrease water loss.

For melanated skin, Super Sensa contains specific ingredients designed to soothe irritation which can lead to inflammation and breakouts that can cause hyperpigmentation.

Our actives have overlapping benefits for all skin tones and we test on a variety of skin tones during product development.

We use a biotech squalane derived from sugarcane at an 8% concentration. This helps to decrease the chances of irritation that some individuals may develop from olive derived squalane or higher concentrations.

We use biotech corn-derived 1,3-propanediol in our formulas.

How Does It Work?

Super Sensa is formulated for the most acne-prone skin types. This is made specifically for those of you who have struggled to find an everyday moisturizer that doesn't irritate your skin or clog your pores. And bonus, it's safe for Fungal Acne too.

How did we do it? We focused on including ingredients that help harness the skin's natural ability to heal itself by decreasing irritation, fueling the microbiome, and restoring the skin barrier.

What's not in it? We excluded a lot of the ingredients you may find in other moisturizers for acne-prone skin that can increase something called lipid peroxidation which leads to inflammation and breakouts. These include a lot of plant oils, fatty alcohols, and esters. While these ingredients definitely aren't bad, they give a lot of folks with acne-prone skin troubles so we skipped them altogether.
