🌿 Clean Beauty ≠ Safe for Sensitive Skin

"Clean beauty" has become the gold standard in skincare—but does it really live up to the hype?

If you have sensitive or reactive skin, you’ve likely felt hopeful (then horrified) after trying a clean product—only to end up with redness, itching, or stinging. You’re not imagining things.

At Dermagrace, we’re here to clear up the confusion and offer real solutions for skin that reacts to everything.

🚫 Clean Doesn’t Always Mean Gentle

Many clean beauty brands swap out synthetic ingredients for natural alternatives like essential oils, fruit acids, and botanical extracts. Sounds better, right?

Not necessarily.

🔎 The reality:

• Essential oils are some of the most common allergens in skincare

• Plant extracts like green tea, lavender, and citrus can irritate compromised skin barriers

• Even “natural” preservatives like phenoxyethanol can cause discomfort for ultra-sensitive skin types

💥 Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s non-reactive.

🔍 A Personal Story That Proves It

Our co-founder, May, experienced repeated reactions from dermatologist-recommended products. These “sensitive-skin-safe” options often contained phenoxyethanol, plant extracts, and other so-called gentle ingredients—yet left her skin inflamed, tight, and uncomfortable.

May took matters into her own hands—formulating skincare with the fewest ingredients possible to avoid reactions and protect fragile skin.

Her journey is what sparked the creation of Dermagrace.
