When it comes to skincare, many of us are constantly searching for products that are effective, gentle, and safe especially if you have sensitive skin. But what if we told you some of the most powerful ingredients for your skin might already be in your kitchen?

At Barely Touched Naturals, we believe simple is powerful. Our products are inspired by nature, and many of our hero ingredients have roots in food literally. Let’s take a look at a few everyday ingredients that pack a punch in skincare.

🟡 

Turmeric: The Glow-Getter

You may know turmeric as a vibrant spice that adds color and flavor to your favorite dishes. But it’s also a skincare powerhouse. Rich in curcumin, turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help:

• Calm breakouts
• Brighten dark spots
• Even out skin tone

That’s why we use it in our Turmeric Face Mask it’s a gentle but effective way to bring out your natural glow.

🥣 

Oats: The Ultimate Soother

Oatmeal isn’t just good for breakfast. Finely ground oats (also known as colloidal oatmeal) have been used for centuries to calm and protect the skin. They work by:

• Locking in moisture
• Reducing itching and irritation
• Helping with eczema and dryness

Oats are a staple in many of our gentle formulations because they’re perfect for even the most sensitive skin.

🍯 

Honey: Nature’s Humectant

Raw honey is more than a sweet treat. It draws moisture into the skin and keeps it there, making it an excellent hydrator. Plus, its natural enzymes offer gentle exfoliation, while its antibacterial properties help with acne.

We love incorporating honey in soothing treatments and masks where hydration and healing are key.

🥥 

Coconut Oil: Moisture Magic

While it’s not for everyone (especially acne-prone skin), coconut oil is rich in fatty acids that can deeply nourish and soften the skin. It’s great for:

• Removing makeup
• Soothing chapped lips
• Healing dry patches

We love it in small doses where skin needs a little extra TLC.

🌱 

Shea Butter: The Skin Protector

OK, this one might not be in your kitchen, but it’s a natural fat derived from the nuts of the shea tree and it’s a skin savior. Shea butter creates a barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and helping heal irritation and dryness.

We use it in our body butters and balms for deep, long-lasting hydration.
