What No One Explains About Sensitive Skin (and Why You Don’t Have to Live With It)

By KLEOS + KLEA

Published on September 29, 2025

Sensitive skin is one of the most common concerns people face today, yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood. We see sensitive skin not as a permanent condition, but as a sign of imbalance in your skin’s microbiome, the community of bacteria, fungi, and natural defenses that keep your skin strong, resilient, and healthy.

When this microbiome is disrupted, reactions can happen faster and stronger than in balanced skin. Triggers like alcohol, poor sleep, inadequate nutrition, and, most importantly, synthetic chemicals can all throw your skin off track. Once disrupted, your skin feels vulnerable, reactive, and unable to fully heal.

To get your skin in balance, it needs nutrients in their purest, most natural form, straight from the earth. That’s why we created KLEOS+KLEA: a skincare line designed to give your skin exactly what it craves to restore balance, reduce sensitivities, and help your complexion get healthy again.

Why Sensitive Skin Needs Nature, Not Chemicals

Many products on the market advertise themselves as “natural,” but when you look closer, you’ll often find lab-made additives and synthetics hiding in the ingredients list. These compounds may create short-term effects, but they can strip your microbiome, making skin more fragile over time.


One of the most common examples is vitamins in skincare. Brands love to highlight ingredients like Vitamin C, but what they’re really using is often a synthetic isolate, such as L-ascorbic acid. While this lab-made version offers a fraction of the benefit, it’s missing the full family of co-factors, enzymes, and phytonutrients that exist in the real, whole vitamin. Your skin doesn’t just need a single isolated compound, it needs the complete nutrient package that nature designed. When skincare relies on synthetics, it robs your skin of the very elements that make healing and balance possible.


At KLEOS+KLEA, our philosophy is simple:

  • No synthetics. Ever.

  • No harsh chemicals.

  • Only nutrient-rich ingredients from nature.


This means every drop, mist, and application works with your skin, not against it. Instead of suppressing symptoms, we nourish the root cause, helping your skin find its natural cycle again.

Real Stories, Real Results

The feedback from our community speaks for itself:

Carly A – ★★★★★
“The mineral spray is an essential product in my skincare routine! I am obsessed with the mineral spray. I bring it everywhere with me as I use it multiple times a day. The scent is nourishing and refreshing. My skin is extremely sensitive, so I am always nervous about using new products, but the mineral spray has elevated my skincare routine. I have been using it for 3 months now and I have noticed that my skin looks brighter, more hydrated, and refreshed.”


Julia G. – ★★★★★

“I have been a long standing believer in home remedies for my skin issues and have been looking for products that utilize natural ingredients like that and THIS IS IT. The ingredients in this product are absolutely what I used to use and then some. Could not recommend enough!”


Otto – ★★★★★

“I’ve been using the AKATHA cleanser for a few months and am so happy I found it. It keeps my skin consistently clear of breakouts and doesn’t cause dryness or any other irritation. The ingredients are as clean as it gets so I’m not concerned about putting chemicals on my skin. With all other cleansers I’ve used I felt like I had to sacrifice something and this one is a perfect balance.”
