Cancer treatment can bring many changes to the body, and one of the most common is increased skin sensitivity. Treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or certain medications can leave the skin feeling dry, tight, or more reactive than usual. While everyone’s experience is unique, gentle care and nourishing ingredients can make a world of difference in maintaining comfort and confidence during this time.
At ishga, we believe in supporting skin health naturally, with pure, organic ingredients sourced from the pristine waters of the Hebrides. Our products are carefully formulated to nurture and protect the skin barrier, without harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrance, or potential irritants.
Choosing Gentle, Natural Skincare
When your skin is feeling delicate, simplicity is key. Avoiding strong fragrances, alcohol-based products, and synthetic additives can help prevent irritation. Instead, look for formulations rich in natural oils and plant-based actives that provide hydration and calm the skin.
Our ishga Marine Cleansing Balm is a wonderful first step in a sensitive skincare routine. Infused with shea butter, almond oil, and our nutrient-rich Hebridean seaweed extract, it melts away impurities without stripping the skin. It leaves your complexion feeling soft, soothed, and deeply nourished, exactly what sensitive skin needs.
Comforting Hydration for Dry or Tight Skin
Our ishga Hydrating Hand Cream is ideal for hands that may feel dry or sore, while the Little ishga Marine Cream provides gentle all-over hydration. Both are enriched with aloe vera and seaweed extract, ingredients known for their calming and regenerative properties.
Nurture and Relaxation
Self-care during cancer isn’t just about the skin; it’s about creating moments of calm and comfort. Aromatherapy can play a subtle but powerful role in this. Our Nurturing Body Oil blends natural oils of jojoba, almond and thistle with comforting rose geranium, helping to bring balance to body and mind, perfect for winding down after treatment or before rest.
A Gentle Reminder
It’s always important to listen to your body and consult your medical team if you’re unsure about introducing new products during treatment. Everyone’s skin is different, and what works beautifully for one person may not be right for another.
