Sensitive Skin
Globally, approximately 50% of women and 40% of men claim to have sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is characterized by an overreaction to stress, such as temperature changes, detergents, cosmetics (cosmetic intolerance), and more. The adverse reactions are typically divided into objective (visible) symptoms and subjective (sensory) symptoms, such as burning, stinging, itching, and discomfort.

Seeing the Unseen: The Expansion of Beauty for Body
In the ever-evolving world of personal care, today’s definition of beauty is changing with more attention being given to the parts of the body that have been traditionally overlooked. This new trend, what we call "Seeing the Unseen" is redefining the way we perceive beauty and self-care.
