Sensitive & reactive skin

When your skin reacts to everything, what you put on it matters.

Sensitive skin needs more than products that simply call themselves “gentle”.

For nearly 30 years, Green People has created natural and organic skincare with sensitive skin at its heart, carefully choosing ingredients to support healthy, comfortable skin.

Understanding your skin

Sensitive skin often starts with the skin barrier.

Your skin barrier helps keep moisture in and potential irritants out.

When it becomes compromised, skin can lose moisture more easily and become less resilient. Even products you once tolerated may suddenly sting or feel uncomfortable.

That’s why sensitive skin often benefits from a simpler, gentler approach.

A healthy barrier

Moisture stays in, potential irritants stay out, and skin feels comfortable.

Moisture escapes more easily, skin becomes less resilient and products can suddenly sting.

Your skin might feel:

  • Dry or tight
  • Red or flushed
  • Easily irritated
  • Sensitive to fragrance
  • Uncomfortable after applying skincare
  • Suddenly reactive to familiar products

What we leave out

When your skin is reactive, every ingredient has a job to do.

Sensitive skin doesn’t necessarily need more ingredients.

It needs carefully considered ones.

Green People has spent nearly 30 years creating skincare with sensitive and reactive skin in mind.

  • Fragrance-free options
  • No drying alcohol (ethanol)
  • Certified organic
  • Dermatologically tested

Scent free collection

Fragrance-free doesn’t mean skin care without benefits.

If fragrance is one of the things your skin struggles with, Green People’s Scent Free collection gives you another option.

Instead, formulas combine gentle natural and organic ingredients with effective skin-supporting actives.

Sensitive skin? Try it with confidence.

We know trying new skincare can feel like a risk when your skin reacts easily.

That’s why you can patch test your new Green People product first. If it isn’t right for your skin, our 28-day money-back guarantee gives you the reassurance that you can return it.

Our story

We understand why you’re careful with your skin.

When your skin is sensitive, choosing something new isn’t always easy. You want to know what’s in it, why it’s there and whether you can trust the people who made it. Green People began with exactly those questions.

Founder Charlotte Vøhtz was searching for gentle skincare for her daughter Alexandra’s eczema-prone, sensitive skin. When she couldn’t find products that met the standards she wanted, she decided to create something better. Green People launched in 1997, and Charlotte later helped establish organic beauty standards with the Soil Association – pushing for greater transparency and higher standards in beauty.

Nearly 30 years later, that same care still guides what we do. Because when your skin is sensitive, what you put on it matters.

1997

Born from sensitive skin

Charlotte's journey began when her young daughter Alexandra, then just a toddler, was battling multiple skin allergies and eczema. She searched the high street for natural products that would be gentle on Alexandra’s sensitive skin but found that many so-called natural skin care brands used almost entirely synthetic ingredients. It transpired that most so called ‘natural’ skincare products contained less than 1% natural ingredients.

Helping raise the standard

Charlotte was invited to be on a Soil Association committee to help design the first standards for organic beauty. Charlotte, and later Green People’s Cosmetic Scientist Ian Taylor, played a huge role in setting organic regulations for health & beauty products.

Green People then became the world’s first certified organic skincare brand.
