SENSITIVE SKIN™ ELIXIR Wins Gold at 2026 Organic Beauty Awards, Named 'Sensitive Skin Science Innovator'

LOAEL Beauty Group panel recognizes the 32-botanical serum for concentration and formulation intelligence; product also featured in Clean Beauty Magazine

FL, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SENSITIVE SKIN, LLC has been awarded Gold in the Organic Beauty category at the 2026 Organic Beauty Awards for ELIXIR Premium Serum, which the LOAEL Beauty Group panel named 2026 Sensitive Skin Science Innovator. ELIXIR was the company's sole entry.

In her citation, LOAEL editor Amanda Kitching wrote:
"From the USA, SENSITIVE SKIN™ ELIXIR represents a thoughtful meeting of botanical intelligence and modern formulation. With 32 bioactive botanicals, including bakuchiol, CoQ10 and nutrient-rich plant oils, it offers a sophisticated approach to caring for sensitive skin without sacrificing performance. Beautifully concentrated and presented in recyclable glass, ELIXIR shows that gentle skincare can be considerate and high-performing."

ELIXIR is additionally featured in Clean Beauty Magazine's awards coverage.

A formulation built on concentration, not dilution

ELIXIR was developed by Ollie Wertheim, Founder and Chief Formulator of SENSITIVE SKIN, who trained at Formula Botanica International School and built the formula in response to her own skin's growing reactivity. The serum holds 32 bioactive botanicals in a 30ml bottle, including bakuchiol, CoQ10, sea buckthorn oil and black currant seed oil.

"The panel used the phrase 'beautifully concentrated,' and that's the entire point," said Wertheim. "Every ingredient in ELIXIR is there to do work. There are no fillers, no carriers taking up space and no ingredients added to build out a label. It's a more difficult formula to make and a more expensive one, and it's the only way plant-based actives can perform at this level."

Wertheim added: "The industry's standard answer for skin that has become reactive is to weaken the formula and market the weakness as kindness. Skin that gets selective about what it accepts hasn't become fragile. It has developed standards. It needs better formulation, not less of it."

Professional and retail availability

ELIXIR Premium Serum retails at $129 for 30ml, approximately a three-month supply. A smaller 5ml size is also available for $21.95. SENSITIVE SKIN products are available direct at sensitiveskinbrand.com and through the company's professional partner program for licensed aestheticians and spas.
