Sensitive Skin

Shop Tatcha's skincare for sensitive skin. Our sensitive skincare products harness the soothing power of Japanese indigo, a folk remedy used for centuries in Japan. This prized botanical was often used in baby blankets and worn by firefighters because it was believed to soothe skin. You can find this beloved blue ingredient in Indigo Overnight Repair, our serum-in-moisturizer; The Rice Polish: Calm, our enzymatic exfoliant; Indigo Soothing Hand Cream; and Indigo Soothing Body Butter. Combined with other nourishing ingredients, our sensitive skincare works to visibly calm and soothe irritation, like redness, inflammation, dry spots, and eczema.

As sensitive skin may react to a variety of ingredients, it’s best to look for labels that identify formulas as non-irritating and non-sensitizing and free of parabens, synthetic fragrances, mineral oil, sulfate detergents, phthalates, urea, DEA or TEA, as these ingredients can result in redness and itchiness. Whether you experience redness or itchiness, our Japanese skincare for sensitive skin features gently effective formulas suitable for daily use.

Managing sensitive skin can be challenging, as it takes considerable time and effort to determine which ingredients cause inflammation and irritation. To make this process easier, introduce only one new formula or product at a time. This rule applies to both skincare and cosmetics. Patch testing a new formula on your inner forearm is an excellent way to minimize potential reactions on the face. If your skin shows no sign of flaring up, apply the formula to the area behind one of your ears before using it on your face.
