Every year I buy my twin sister a natural face moisturiser. It’s a little gift from me when I go to Slovenia to visit her and I’ve been doing this for years. Her skin is really sensitive and dry so it took me a bit of time before I found something good enough for her. Her skin would react to all kind of creams but natural face creams from Neal’s Yard Remedies didn’t give her any reaction so I bought these for her several times. But this year I wanted to buy her something different, another brand, just to see how it compares. So I spent hours researching natural face moisturisers suitable for dry and sensitive skin and found some really good ones (based on their descriptions and reviews). In the end, I decided to buy her Weleda Almond Face Moisturiser although there were so many other face creams I could have bought her.

The choice of natural face creams online is massive but not all are created equal. Some of them contain phenoxyethanol, a preservative which some people don’t like to use and I decided not to include those face creams in this post as I wanted to focus on more natural ones and only the best.
So here are some of the best natural face moisturisers for dry and sensitive skin you can find online today (this is based on hours of research and reading hundreds of reviews):
