Using Floral Water for Scent in Sensitive Skin Cream

You are correct that sensitive skin creams often avoid synthetic fragrances and essential oils. Lavender Water and Rose Water are types of floral waters or hydrosols, which are less concentrated than essential oils but still contain aromatic compounds. While generally milder, these fragrant compounds can still potentially irritate very sensitive skin. For individuals with highly reactive skin, it is often best to avoid all types of added fragrance, including floral waters. If you wish to try them, always perform a patch test first. For the most sensitive skin, using plain distilled water or incorporating soothing, non-fragrant ingredients is the safest approach.
