A Guide on Cosmetic Ingredients that Soothe Skin Redness

How often have you noticed that your skin is red, irritated, and flushed? Skin redness can be caused by an array of issues ranging from acne, allergies, sunburn, rosacea, and weather changes.

If you’re a beauty brand looking to create products that soothe skin redness, here are the best nourishing cosmetic ingredients to use in your creams, cleansers, moisturizers, and serums.

Aloe Vera

Nothing says cool and soothing quite like aloe vera. This medicinal plant keeps the skin hydrated and soothes skin irritation, promotes skin regeneration, and helps heal damaged skin.

Licorice

Licorice is a root extract that is anti-inflammatory and has anti-microbial properties. It is perfect for treating skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and redness.

Rosemary Leaf

Rosemary leaf extract is a potent antioxidant that feels light and calming on the skin. Its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties help calm acne, eczema, and skin allergies.

Salicylic Acid

If your beauty products are used to treat mild to moderate acne, adding salicylic acid to them is a must. The beta hydroxy acid helps the skin keep pores clear by shedding dead cells from the top layer of the skin. It also decreases redness and swelling caused by inflammation, so pimples and inflamed skin heal faster.

Blue Tansy

Another skin-saving cosmetic ingredient that’ll help your beauty products deliver nourishing benefits is blue tansy. This vibrant blue oil is derived from a yellow-flowered herb native to Morocco and is filled with calming, anti-inflammatory properties.

Arnica

The bright yellow mountainside perennial known as Arnica Montana offers incredible benefits for your skin. The flowers’ petals are packed with nutritious compounds such as flavonoids, sesquiterpene lactones, and essential oils that help reduce skin redness, acne, stretch marks, bruising, and inflammation.
