"Beautiful body cream for sensitive skin. Rich enough to leave my skin feeling comfortable and deeply moisturised, yet it absorbs surprisingly well without feeling greasy. The subtle natural scent is calming, and applying it has become a relaxing part of my evening routine. My skin feels noticeably softer and happier after using it. Highly recommended if you value gentle, thoughtfully formulated skincare."

Why You’ll Love It
TOP TO TOE CALM.
A deeply nourishing body cream that’s clinically proven to keep skin hydrated for up to 24 hours* – and suitable for extra-sensitive and eczema-prone skin. Packed with biomimicking Ceramides to support the skin barrier, this dermatologist approved formula builds resilience and brings all day comfort and calm.
We reformulated our body cream for more intensive hydration and enhanced barrier repair, adding high-performing actives including Ceramides, Oat Extract and Squalane into the mix. And its delicate and uplifting fragrance – a unique, low-allergen aromatic blend with Juniper Berries and Petitgrain – was developed by our very own chemists, and most importantly won’t upset uncomfortable or irritated skin.

Calendula
This daisy descendent is a natural anti-inflammatory, here to help calm the appearance of upset skin and restore some peace and quiet.

Biomimicking Ceramide Complex
The glue that holds your skin together, Ceramides are essential for a healthy barrier to keep irritation at bay. This cutting-edge complex includes fatty acids from Argan, Meadowfoam, Macadamia and Shea Butter – a sophisticated blend which mimics the skin’s natural Ceramide composition for optimum strength and support.
-
Colloidal Oat
Renowned for its soothing, anti-inflammatory and moisturising properties, Colloidal Oat is proven to support the skin barrier and replenish lipids – reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) to keep skin hydrated, protected and calm.

100% Natural Kindscent™
Our proprietary low-allergen fragrance is a unique aromatic blend that includes Juniper Berries, Eucalyptus, Petitgrain and Patchouli – and forms less than 0.01% of the formula. It delivers a delicate but uplifting scent that’s dermatologist approved and proven to be suitable for sensitive skin.
"We know bodycare can feel like a chore – especially if you have sensitive or itchy skin and feel confined to paraffin-based aqueous creams. But your skin barrier needs support from head to toe, and with the right natural actives it's possible for a formula to restore calm while also being a joy to use."

Reviews
Awful in every way
"I thought the Polly Plum packaging was just being replaced with the new dreadful dispensers, which I could mostly live with, but the formula is different and for me, it’s just awful comparatively. It’s so greasy and lightweight, does not absorb, and is a type of lotion I personally stay away from. How am I the only reviewer (that used Polly Plum) saying this about the texture? People are saying it’s comparable in the richness and feel - to me, it feels exactly like shea butter. Polly Plum was everything."
Love pai!
"Love Pai! Very expensive! I have rosacea and it seems to help"
Gentle Genius Barrier Cream fine
"My skin feels lovely. The texture is fine for my dry skin. The problem is getting the cream out of the pack, even my husband has trouble with it, sadly, it will put me off from buying it again."
Love the formula not the bottle
"Great lotion but the bottle isn't great - there's still quite a lot in the bottle when you can't squeeze out anymore so can be a pain to get the rest out but great lotion that ticks a lot of boxes. Might be best in a tub."
It was really nice and
"It was really nice and gentle for my skin during winter. The texture is not too thick and it absorbs quickly. I'm gonna use it again for sure!"
Perfect eczema lotion for kids
"My daughter has eczema. The only lotion she could tolerate as a baby was the Baby Pai lotion. After it was discontinued, we struggled to find a lotion her skin would tolerate. It’s finally here! Gentle Genius calms her eczema and it doesn’t leave a yucky residue, so she loves using it! And for me, who is scent sensitive, its light natural scent is lovely."
Soothing cream
"Lovely boy moisturiser, very soothing"
Awkward packaging
"A nice cream, which sinks in well. However I found it to be expensive for what it does and can get similar results with cheaper products. Maybe people with problem dryness would see more benefits. I also struggled with the packaging, which I found hard to squeeze, especially as the product ran out. It is also not possible to get the last bit of cream out when you come to the end. The style of the packaging was an nice idea but maybe a tube would be better."
A balm
"This cream is soothing and hydrating and doesn’t cause my skin to react. Delighted with it."
