Body Wash for Sensitive Skin
Our dermatologically tested QV body wash range is thoughtfully formulated to suit all skin types, especially sensitive skin. Explore frequently asked questions and their answers below to help find the ideal QV body cleanser.
What are the benefits of using a soap free body cleanser or wash?
Traditional soaps can disrupt your skin's natural protective barrier by stripping away essential protective oils and removing epidermal lipids, leading to dryness and irritation. This can lead to skin being very vulnerable, with the skin barrier being compromised. This opens your skin up to irritants and allergens that can potentially lead to other skin conditions. Our soap free body cleansers are specifically formulated to cleanse while maintaining your skin's natural protective properties. They work by gently removing impurities without disturbing the protective oils and epidermal lipids that keep your skin healthy and hydrated.
How do QV body cleansers differ from regular soap?
Traditional soaps typically have a high pH that can disrupt your skin's natural acid balance, leading to dryness, irritation and leaving skin vulnerable to skin infections. QV body cleansers are soap free with a pH balanced to match your skin's natural level, cleansing effectively while preserving essential moisture and protective lipids.
What types of skin benefit from a soap free body wash?
Soap free body wash is ideal for all skin types, but particularly beneficial for sensitive, dry or very dry skin. The gentle formulation helps maintain skin hydration during cleansing, making it suitable for daily use.
What’s the difference between QV Gentle Wash & QV Wash?
While both cleansers are soap free, non comedogenic and pH balanced, QV Gentle Wash contains a higher concentration of moisturising ingredients, including 15% Glycerin for hydration, making it ideal for very dry, sensitive skin. QV Wash offers a lighter cleansing experience with 10% glycerin and a light foaming action, ideal for dry, sensitive skin.
Can you use the QV body wash range if you have eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis?
Yes, our body wash range is specifically formulated to be gentle enough for use with eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. The soap free, pH balanced formulas are designed to leave skin intact, without causing irritation. However, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare professional about using products suitable for use with your specific skin condition.
Do the QV body washes & bar still foam?
The QV soap free body washes & bar create a light, gentle foam. QV Wash provides a traditional lightly foaming experience, while QV Gentle Wash creates a richer, creamier lather. Each of the formulations clean skin effectively without the harsh foaming agents found in regular soaps.
Can you use QV body wash on the face?
Yes, QV body wash is gentle enough to be used on the face as well as the body. The soap free, pH balanced formula cleanses without stripping essential oils from the skin, making it suitable for facial cleansing, especially for those with normal to dry skin. When using QV body wash on the face, take care to avoid the eye area. If lather enters the eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water. For specific facial skin concerns, we recommend our specialised QV Face products which are formulated with additional ingredients targeted for facial skin needs.
Glycerin is a powerful humectant that plays a vital role in maintaining healthy skin. By drawing moisture to the skin's surface and helping to retain hydration, glycerin supports your skin's natural moisture barrier. This ingredient works in harmony with your skin's natural processes to provide hydration during cleansing, making it a key component in our gentle cleansing formulations.
