Key Ingredients

The active ingredients in Sarna Sensitive are choose for their ability to provide soothing relief while minimizing irritation, making the product safe and effective for those with sensitive skin. The two primary active ingredients in Sarna Sensitive are:

• Camphor: Camphor has a cooling effect when applied to the skin, which helps soothe itching and irritation. It also has mild analgesic properties that can reduce discomfort associated with skin conditions.
• Menthol: Menthol provides a cooling sensation and helps relieve itching by activating the skin’s cold receptors, distracting the brain from the sensation of itchiness. Like camphor, menthol also has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce redness and irritation.

Indications and Uses

Sarna Sensitive is primarily used to relieve the symptoms of itching and irritation caused by the following conditions:

• Eczema: A chronic skin condition that leads to dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. Sarna Sensitive can help soothe the skin and reduce the discomfort associated with eczema flare-ups.
• Contact dermatitis: This condition occurs when the skin reacts to allergens or irritants, leading to red, inflamed, and itchy patches. Sarna Sensitive helps reduce itching and discomfort associated with contact dermatitis.

Sarna Sensitive is ideal for individuals who need a gentle yet effective solution for itchy skin conditions but do not want the potential irritation or harshness of stronger treatments. It can be used on the face, hands, and other sensitive areas of the body without causing undue discomfort.

Mechanism of Action

The cooling effects of camphor and menthol are at the heart of Sarna Sensitive’s mechanism of action. When applied to the skin, these ingredients trigger a cooling sensation by activating cold receptors in the skin. This cooling effect temporarily alleviates the sensation of itching, which helps break the cycle of scratching and irritation.

Both camphor and menthol also have anti-inflammatory properties, meaning they help reduce the redness and swelling that often accompanies conditions like eczema or dermatitis. By reducing inflammation, Sarna Sensitive can promote healing and prevent further irritation.

Additionally, the cream contains moisturizing agents that help to lock in hydration, preventing the skin from becoming too dry and further exacerbating the itchiness.
