I'm still playing!
I wouldn’t dare recommend anything for super-sensitive skin; actually, haven’t tried that many on my own skin, as I tend to start with the oil burner :)
That said, lavender was one of the early essential oil ‘discoveries’ (or so I’ve read!), when a chemist plunged his just-burned hand into a vat of it, and it ended up aiding the healing. So, lavender sounds good for sensitive, and obviously known for relaxing. Likewise, camomile is very soothing and relaxing.
Looking back at some of my other research entries: jasmine claims to be suitable for sensative skin, and rose has always struck me as relatively gentle.
And yay! Another essential oil fan :)
