Fragrance-Free Skincare

At Tatcha, we aim to soothe not only your skin, but also your mind with reliable, luxurious products that have as many mindfulness perks as they have skincare benefits. And while natural fragrances in skincare can help you engage with all five senses, some scents can be irritating to sensitive skin. In fact, according to Dermatology Times, fragrances can cause allergic contact dermatitis, accounting for up to 45 percent of reactions in cosmetic products. They advise that fragrance-free formulas (or formulas that have minimal added fragrances) are best  for those with sensitive or sensitized skin to avoid reactions, like redness, inflammation, and itching.

Tatcha has an entire range of fragrance-free skincare products to help soothe and nourish skin. Some of our most popular fragrance-free skincare options include our newest calming cleanser, The Indigo Cleansing Balm. While some cleansers can strip the skin of its natural oils, this gentle, skin-strengthening formula calms visible irritation, while also effectively cleansing (efficiently removing even waterproof makeup). Another beloved fragrance-free product to consider is the newly updated Indigo Calming Cream. The Japanese indigo and colloidal oatmeal-boosted formula is proven to visibly calm irritation and relieve itchy skin — a perfect way to luxuriously repair visibly stressed skin for a calmer, stronger skin barrier. If you’re searching for a potent nighttime option, try the Indigo Overnight Repair treatment, which moisturizes, soothes, and visibly strengthens the skin barrier. While sensitive skin and exfoliation might not seem aligned, a non-abrasive exfoliant can safely promote natural skin turnover for a healthy-looking glow. All four of our Rice Polish formulas (Classic, Gentle, Deep, Calming) are fragrance free, gently transforming into a creamy, cloud-like foam with just a few drops of water.

Managing sensitive skin can be challenging, as it takes considerable time and effort to determine which ingredients cause inflammation and irritation. But taking the time to seek out fragrance-free products, patch testing new formulas, and consulting with your doctor are all useful tips to help sensitive skin glow from the inside out.
