Soothing Agent Description
Any ingredient that soothes and improves signs of sensitivity. Interestingly, most antioxidants function as soothing ingredients because one of the skin’s responses to environmental damage is sensitivity, visible signs of stress on skin’s surface, and redness. These ingredients go a long way toward helping the skin deal with its daily struggle against environmental damage and seasonal environmental extremes.
Peer-reviewed, substantiated scientific research is used to assess ingredients in this dictionary. Regulations regarding usage constraints, permitted concentration levels and availability vary by country and region.
