The Botanicals We Love: 5 Healing Plants for Sensitive Skin

Nature’s Pharmacy for Your Skin

Plants have been soothing and healing skin for centuries. At Sovereign Botanicals, we turn to time-honored botanicals to craft formulations that are as gentle as they are effective—especially for sensitive, reactive skin.

Here are five powerhouse botanicals you’ll find in our blends, and why your skin will love them.

1. Calendula (Calendula officinalis)

Known for its bright golden petals, calendula is rich in flavonoids and triterpenoids that calm irritation and support skin repair. We slow-infuse it into organic oils to preserve its soothing properties.

2. Rose (Rosa damascena)

More than a symbol of beauty, rose helps tone and hydrate the skin. Its natural anti-inflammatory qualities make it ideal for calming redness.

3. Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides)

This berry oil is packed with antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and carotenoids to strengthen the skin barrier and promote elasticity.

4. Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium)

With its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, manuka supports healing and protects sensitive skin from environmental stressors.

5. Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis)

A lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that mimics your skin’s natural sebum, balancing oil production and providing lasting moisture.

How We Source Our Botanicals

We work with organic growers and wildcrafters who honor the land. Every plant is selected for its vibrancy and healing energy, then crafted in small batches to preserve its potency.
