The LOAEL Beauty Group panel acknowledged the 32-botanical serum for its concentration and formulation intelligence; the product also appears in Clean Beauty Magazine.
The panel used the phrase 'beautifully concentrated,' and that's the entire point: every ingredient in ELIXIR is there to do work. ..It's a more difficult formula to make and a more expensive one.”— Ollie WertheimFL, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — SENSITIVE SKIN, LLC has received Gold in the Organic Beauty category at the 2026 Organic Beauty Awards for ELIXIR Premium Serum, which the LOAEL Beauty Group panel designated as 2026 Sensitive Skin Science Innovator. ELIXIR was the only product submitted by the company.
In her official remarks, LOAEL editor Amanda Kitching stated:
"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 also featured in the awards coverage of Clean Beauty Magazine.
A formula designed around concentration, not dilution
ELIXIR was created by Ollie Wertheim, Founder and Chief Formulator of SENSITIVE SKIN, who received training at Formula Botanica International School and developed the formula in reaction to her own skin's increasing sensitivity. The serum contains 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."
Availability for professionals and retail customers
ELIXIR Premium Serum is priced at $129 for 30ml, which provides approximately a three-month supply. A smaller 5ml size is also offered at $21.95. SENSITIVE SKIN products are available directly at sensitiveskinbrand.com and through the company's professional partner program for licensed aestheticians and spas.
