A quote from a Jo one of our spa therapist and co-odinator on What is the difference between hypo-alergenic and sensitive?. What does it mean, and what products are available in Thalgo?.

“I know Thalgo have their sensitive range AA sensitive skin care Sensitive skin is not a skin type, it is an occasional or permanent condition characterised by visible and often intense reactions such as inflammation. The causes, state and degree of sensitivity vary according to each individual. Any skin type may be sensitive and each shows its sensitivity in a different way. Even though advanced research is being carried out on sensitive skin, the causes of sensitivity remain many and varied.

Nowadays, allergic reactions are increasing and we can see an increase in intolerance to cosmetic and daily hygiene products. It appears that these reactions are a result of over exposure to numerous harmful elements. Pollution, sun, UV rays, wind, cold, strong or unsuitable products are also capable of weakening even the most resistant skins. The more sensitive the skin is, the lower its tolerance threshold and allergic reactions may occur to even the slightest harmful element. Hypoallergenic and sensitive skin products such as Thalgo’s Bio Sensitive line are formulated to decrease the tendency to provoke an allergic reaction and to increase the skins tolerance.”
