Dealing with hyper-sensitive skin can be a challenge in managing inflammation and flare-ups. Moreover, excessive redness, itchiness, or even dryness can appear suddenly without any warning. All of these symptoms can be triggered by constant exposure to weather changes or even because of the irritants present in the products you use. This is exactly where you need to understand that the skin’s natural barrier has been compromised and now requires extra care and protection. At Urban Veda, we remain true to Ayurvedic wisdom and firmly believe that the best skincare for hyper-sensitive skin originates from nature itself. That is why we have carefully formulated our Soothing Body Lotion, which is indeed a nourishing mix of natural cooling Sandalwood, calming Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and other essential oils. Each ingredient works beautifully to soothe inflammation, relieve the itchiness, and even help restore your skin’s natural protective barrier.

Why the Right Skincare Matters for Hyper-Sensitive Skin
The right skincare goes beyond just being important for hyper-sensitive skin. This is because hyper-sensitivity is not just about dryness or itchiness of the skin. It goes much deeper into the underlying cause that could be around an affected skin barrier. Now, the skin barrier is the shield of your skin. When your skin barrier is compromised, your skin gets dehydrated faster, which is also known as transepidermal water loss or TEWL. Plus, when your skin barrier is healthy, it not only keeps your skin hydrated but also keeps the irritants out.
Our Soothing Body Lotion addresses all of these concerns with pure Ayurvedic botanicals that naturally protect your skin. From Sandalwood’s cooling relief to Vitamin E’s barrier-strengthening power, each element has been chosen to help hyper-sensitive skin! We’d say that the strength of our Soothing Body Lotion lies in its synergy, where every ingredient serves a unique purpose. Below, we will be breaking down how these Ayurvedic botanicals work to bring long-term comfort to hyper-sensitive skin.
1. Cooling Relief From Inflamed Skin
Skin flare-ups are usually accompanied by redness and discomfort. Now, these are one of the most visible signs of inflammation in your skin, which, if left untreated, can even worsen. Plus, it may also lead to a lot of itching and may take a longer time to recover. Now, ideally, the first step to calm the inflammation is to cool the skin. Choose products which have ingredients that not only soothe the skin but also help repair the skin’s barrier. Our Soothing Body Lotion has been carefully formulated with Sandalwood (also known as the Ayurvedic powerhouse for cooling and anti-inflammatory benefits). Sandalwood not only helps calm the inflammation but also reduces discomfort and helps in skin repair. Plus, it also contains natural compounds that together ease heat and relieve itching sensations.

2. Calming & Hydrating the Skin Barrier
Now, sensitive skin can be dry. However, this is more than just a concern of the surface layer of your skin. It is a clear sign that the skin’s barrier is struggling to hold onto moisture. This is because, when your skin barrier is compromised, the moisture evaporates quickly. Now, this, in turn, leaves your skin dry and flaky. And, without the right amount of hydration, you can even start noticing cracks and increased redness. This is where restoring your skin’s moisture becomes more than just applying cream regularly. You must use a product that calms your skin barrier, soothes discomfort, and also helps repair the barrier at its best. Our Soothing Body Lotion has been enriched with key ingredients like Aloe Vera and Glycerine that deliver deep hydration and hydrate the barrier. Moreover, this combination also soothes dryness and calms skin inflammation.
3. Preventing Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
One of the most important aspects of managing hyper-sensitive skin is keeping its moisture locked in. However, keeping the moisture locked in becomes a challenge due to the transepidermal water loss (TEWL), where moisture escapes quickly. Lack of skin hydration can also leave your skin vulnerable to environmental factors such as allergens, dirt, and dust. This is where it becomes very important to protect your skin’s barrier in order to maintain hydration and comfort. In our Soothing Body Lotion, we have carefully formulated Vitamin E that not only helps strengthen the skin's natural lipid barrier but also prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL)!

4. Balancing pH Levels & Oils
It is indeed a fact that every hyper-sensitive skin requires the utmost stability in terms of striking the right balance between oil production and pH levels to keep it healthy. However, the challenge that arises here is that hyper-sensitive skin keeps fluctuating from being completely dry to having excess oil production in certain parts. These constant fluctuations or imbalances can affect the skin’s natural oil production and pH levels, which, in turn, can weaken the skin’s barrier. To help address these concerns, we have also carefully formulated a natural mix of essential oils in our Soothing Body Lotion, including Lavender and Rose Geranium. They not only help balance sebum but also help maintain the skin’s pH levels.
Hyper-sensitive skin deserves more than just the application of moisturisers. It requires the right care that is both soothing and strengthening, all at the same time! At Urban Veda, our Soothing Body Lotion has been carefully formulated under Ayurvedic wisdom along with natural botanicals that together help calm inflammation, get rid of itching, and even strengthen the skin barrier. Backed by key natural ingredients like Sandalwood, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and balancing essential oils, our Soothing Body Lotion becomes more than just a lotion; it becomes a daily ritual!
