Why You'll Love It

THE PROOF IS IN THE CALM

Sensitive skin deserves more than temporary relief. It deserves lasting resilience.

The Anthemis is our bestselling moisturiser for sensitive skin, formulated to calm visible signs of sensitivity and dryness while helping skin become stronger with every use. Clinically proven to provide 24-hour hydration, it immediately relieves tightness and discomfort while helping reduce the appearance of redness and reinforcing the skin's natural protective barrier.

At the heart of the formula is CO₂extracted Chamomile. Unlike conventional essential oils, our advanced extraction process gently captures a richer concentration of naturally occurring bioactives, including Matricin, Bisabolol and Chamazulene to maximise their soothing, antioxidant and skin-conditioning benefits without compromising their potency.

We've paired this with our signature whole-fruit CO₂extracted Rosehip, rich in essential omegas 3, 6, 7 & 9 and antioxidant carotenoids, to replenish the skin barrier and support its natural repair cycle. Together, these ingredients don't simply comfort stressed skin—they help restore its ability to defend itself against future irritation.

The Anthemis delivers proven performance where it matters most. Skin feels calmer, looks healthier and becomes more resilient over time..the proof really is in the calm.

Independently tested on sensitive skin, for 4x longer than standard.

100% Natural. COSMOS Organic certified. Vegan. Cruelty-free.

Key Ingredients

Chamomile

An iconic skin soother at its most potent and efficacious. We use premium organic CO2 extraction to ensure the cooling and calming Matricine and Chamazulene inside remain perfectly intact.
Rosehip Oil

Rosehip Oil is much more than just a glow-giver. In its purest form – like ours – it’s like giving your skin a full under the hood service. Omegas 3, 6, 7 & 9 do the repair job, while antioxidant carotenoids protect from further damage.

“This is the product so many customers told us was life-changing in helping them regain control of their unpredictable skin. It’s down to the very select set of ingredients, in a formula that won't cause overwhelm. And its beautiful texture and comforting aroma is testament to the fact you needn't compromise on sensory benefits to care for sensitive skin – a philosophy we live by."

What skin types is The Anthemis best suited for?

It's designed for normal, dry, and hypersensitive skin, and is particularly well suited if you experience reactive episodes, contact dermatitis, or environmental sensitivity. The nourishing base of jojoba (a wax ester that mimics your skin's natural sebum), safflower (rich in linoleic acid), shea butter, and apricot kernel oil provides comfortable hydration without heaviness. It's also free from alcohol, parabens, silicones, sulfates, mineral oil, and synthetic fragrance.

How do I use The Anthemis in a full skincare routine?

Massage 1-2 pumps into clean, dry skin on your face and neck each morning. For a full calming routine, start with Middlemist Seven Gentle Cream Cleanser, spritz Century Flower Barrier Defence Mist, then apply The Anthemis. In the evening, you can layer Rosehip Bioregenerate Oil on top for overnight replenishment, and in the morning, finish with British Summer Time SPF 30 as your final step.

Can I use The Anthemis on rosacea-prone skin?

Yes. German chamomile has vasoconstrictor properties that help reduce visible flushing and redness. In an independent trial of 112 sensitive skin subjects, 80% said it visibly reduced the appearance of redness and 90% said skin looked calmer after 28 days. The formula is 96-hour patch tested on sensitive and eczema-prone skin.

Does The Anthemis help with dry skin?

It does. A 24-hour clinical study on 20 subjects confirmed it provides sustained moisturisation across all timepoints up to 24 hours. In a separate independent consumer trial of 112 women with sensitive skin, 97% said it helped soothe dry skin and 91% said skin felt less tight after 28 days of use.

What does The Anthemis smell like?

It has a subtle, herbaceous scent from the chamomile CO2 extract, with gentle floral notes from the small amounts of geranium and lavender oil in the formula. The smell is understated rather than perfumed. There's no synthetic fragrance at all.

Does The Anthemis contain fragrance or essential oils?

There's no synthetic fragrance in the formula. It does include small amounts of geranium and lavender essential oils. The finished formula has been 96-hour patch tested on volunteers with sensitive and eczema-prone skin, but lavender is a recognised contact allergen in some individuals, so if you have a known essential oil sensitivity, patch test before use.

Is The Anthemis safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Yes, The Anthemis is certified pregnancy and breastfeeding safe. It does contain small amounts of geranium and lavender essential oils, so if you prefer to avoid essential oils during your first trimester, consider waiting until your second trimester before introducing it.

Can I use Rosehip Oil with The Anthemis?

Absolutely. The Anthemis already contains CO2-extracted rosehip seed for barrier support, but layering Rosehip Bioregenerate Oil on top in the evening adds extra overnight replenishment. Apply The Anthemis first, then a few drops of the oil to lock everything in.

What certifications does The Anthemis have?

The Anthemis is COSMOS Organic certified by the Soil Association, Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free, and registered vegan. It's 99.9% natural and 70% organic (excluding water), independently dermatologist tested and approved, non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), and RSPO palm certified. The finished formula is also 96-hour patch tested for tolerance, including on volunteers with eczema-prone skin.

What makes the chamomile in The Anthemis different from other chamomile skincare?

Most chamomile skincare uses steam-distilled essential oil (listed as "flower oil" on the label), which degrades matricin, chamomile's most potent anti-inflammatory compound, into chamazulene with only one-tenth of the activity. The Anthemis uses CO2 supercritical extraction, which preserves the full complex of bioactives in their native form: matricin, α-bisabolol (up to 45% of the volatile oil fraction), bisabolol oxides, flavonoids like apigenin and luteolin, and chamazulene precursors. Research from the University of Trieste found fresh chamomile CO2 extract is approximately 40% more anti-inflammatory than dried flower extract, which already substantially outperforms essential oil.

Why should I choose The Anthemis over other calming moisturisers?

The Anthemis tackles reactive skin from two angles at once: CO2-extracted chamomile suppresses inflammation through multiple molecular pathways (PLA2 inhibition, NF-κB modulation, leukotriene suppression), while CO2-extracted rosehip delivers essential fatty acids that rebuild the barrier so triggers are less likely to get through. The formula is kept intentionally minimal, so hypersensitive skin encounters fewer potential triggers without sacrificing performance. In an independent trial of 112 women with sensitive skin, 84% said skin felt instantly soothed after first use, and 86% said skin felt less sensitive after 28 days.

Can Chamomile really calm skin effectively?

The chamomile extraction has serious clinical credentials. In a controlled study of 72 patients, a topical chamomile solution healed inflammatory skin lesions significantly faster than 1% hydrocortisone ointment, with a mean healing time of 8.89 days versus 14.53 days (p = 0.001), and pain and itching resolved more quickly too. A separate clinical study found German chamomilla extract cream matched hydrocortisone's efficacy and outperformed two other anti-inflammatory treatments. These results refer to the chamomile extract itself, not the finished Anthemis formula, but they're exactly why we chose CO2-extracted chamomile as the hero active.

New favorite moisturizer!

"I really love this moisturizer! I have rosacea prone skin and it instantly feels calmer after I apply this. It is nourishing without being too heavy, it keeps my skin hydrated all night, and it layers really well under makeup. Additionally, the dispenser is great for maximizing how much product you can use while keeping things clean."

Amazing, spa like experience for skin care

"I bought The Anthemis moisturiser for my skin after cleansing and its the first product I've came across that genuinely feels nourishing on the skin. After application, my skin feels smooth not sticky and the scent is heavenly so now my skincare routine feels like a calming, spa like experience rather than a chore. I appreciate the clean, high quality ingredients and after 2 weeks of using twice daily, my face feels very smooth, nourished and healthier. Friends have also complimented on how nice my skin looks! Thank you for creating beautiful, nourishing products that are genuinely good for the skin and that feel like a very loving and gentle skincare routine!"

— Carolanne D. (5/5)

"This moisturiser is so good. Nothing calms my skin like this."

— mr (5/5)

My go-to moisturiser

"I have very sensitive skin which is redness-prone - as I also have rosacea. This is the only moisturiser I can tolerate which also works when parts of my skin show signs of dryness. Besides, the texture is not greasy and still is rich enough that it moisturises my skin at nighttime and when I wake up my skin still feels soft. I am so thankful for having found this brand in general because I was about to give up on my skin before. So I can only recommend it if your skin is a daily challenge."

— Kathrin K. (5/5)

Q&A

I am 62 years old and have started using your Pai Rosehip oil which is the only thing i have used recently that doesn’t bring my face out in spots. I use it night and day but looking at your website i should probably be using a different moisturiser during the day as the Rosehip oil is not moisturising and rejuvenating enough? :Please can you advise: Hi Caroline, If you have dry skin and need some added hydration, we would recommend using Love & Haight or Salvation Jane twice a day. These are our richest moisturisers which will help nourish the skin. You can then follow with the Rosehip Oil in your evening routine a few days a week or every night as you wish.

Bonjour, Est ce que cette crème convient pour les femmes enceintes/allaitantes?: Bonjour Alexandra ! L'Anthemis convient aux femmes enceintes et allaitantes. Cependant, le produit contient des huiles essentielles que certaines femmes préfèrent éviter au cours du premier trimestre. Nous en utilisons bien en dessous du niveau recommandé pendant la grossesse, nous ne considérons donc pas qu'elles représentent un risque, mais si vous préférez les éviter, nous vous recommandons d'attendre le deuxième trimestre pour utiliser ce produit. Vous trouverez plus d'informations [ici](https://support.paiskincare.com/hc/fr/articles/213255909-Je-suis-enceinte-Puis-je-utiliser-les-produits-Pai-pendant-la-grossesse). Nous espérons que cela vous aidera ! Pai Customer Experience Team
Hi, is this product suitable for pregnant women to use please? Thanks, Amy: Hi Amy, Yes this product is suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pai Customer Experience Team
Quel est le ph de cette crème hydratante ? Merci: Bonjour Jel, Merci pour votre question. Le pH de l'Anthemis est 5.0 - 5.30 +/-0.05. Customer Experience Team Member
Hi, I have very fair skin and I'm 40. I don't have particularly dry nor combination skin, but I do sometimes get some itchiness on one of my cheeks closer to the jawline (always the same spot), and my skin gets red quite easily, which makes me think I'd be more on the sensitive side. Would the Anthemis be a good moisturiser for my skin type? Thank you :): Hi EliG, Thank you for getting in touch. You may also like Instant Kalmer Serum which can be used morning and evening before The Anthemis Moisturiser. Customer Experience Team Member
