Uncover the soothing power of nature
Sensitive skin is an increasingly common concern, affecting over 60% of women and 50% of men globally*, with symptoms ranging from redness and dryness to irritation and discomfort. At Jurlique, we’ve made it our mission to address these concerns with a gentle and naturally effective solution.
Our new Calendula Range is powered by farm-grown actives, including Calendula and Manuka Leaf. But how do these natural actives compare to popular synthetic ingredients like niacinamide? Let’s take a closer look.
Our Soothing Duo: Calendula and Manuka Leaf
At the heart of our sensitive skin range are two hero ingredients—Calendula and Manuka Leaf, cultivated on our biodynamic** farm. This soothing duo were carefully selected for their ability to calm, protect against environmental aggressors, and restore sensitive skin.
As one of the largest growers of Calendula in Australia, Jurlique has spent years perfecting the cultivation of this calming flower. We trialled 25 varieties to select the top performer carefully chosen for its rich antioxidants and soothing properties. Meanwhile, Manuka Leaf—a new skincare active and Australian native hand-harvested on our Adelaide Hills farm—is known for its ability to calm skin. Together, these botanicals create a powerful duo that nurtures even the most delicate skin.
Farm-Grown and Carefully Crafted
At Jurlique, we believe that the best skincare starts at the source. That’s why we grow our Calendula and Manuka Leaf on our biodynamic** farm in South Australia. Our seed-to-skin philosophy ensures that every ingredient is carefully cultivated, using sustainable practices that nurture and enrich the land. From planting to harvest, we oversee every step to preserve the natural vitality and potency of our botanicals, ensuring they deliver the highest quality actives.
Synthetic vs. Natural: Finding Balance in Skincare
The debate between synthetic and natural ingredients often creates a false divide, but the truth is that both have their place in effective skincare. Take niacinamide, for example. Like Calendula and Manuka Leaf, this synthetic ingredient is celebrated for its ability to soothe irritation, improve hydration, and strengthen the skin moisture barrier. Its benefits make it a staple in many skincare rituals.
However, natural ingredients like Calendula and Manuka Leaf offer something unique. Beyond their soothing and protective properties, they deliver a multi-sensory experience—aromas that calm the mind, textures that comfort the skin, and a connection to nature that synthetic ingredients find hard to replicate. These natural actives offer a more considered and holistic approach that is ideal for sensitive skin.
Natural Ingredients with Proven Results
We rigorously test our natural ingredients to ensure they deliver results without compromising skin health. Our sensitive skin range is dermatologically tested and trusted by real consumers with real sensitivities, ensuring you get the gentle care your skin needs without sacrificing effectiveness. Calendula and Manuka Leaf demonstrate the power of natural actives in delivering soothing, effective care for sensitive skin.
