Oil
Oil is a hydrophobic (water-repelling) substance that can help regulate sebum production in skincare.
Fragrance
Fragrances make products smell appealing but are a common cause of skin irritation and allergic reactions. This includes synthetic fragrances, natural fragrances, and essential oils. Fragrance-free products are the safest bet for sensitive skin.
