The skin barrier: what is it, and why do you need to take care of it?
Have you ever wondered why your skin sometimes feels dry, irritated, or just not quite right? It might be because your skin barrier is compromised. The skin barrier is like a protective shield, sitting on the outermost layer of your skin, the stratum corneum. It’s made up of dead skin cells and lipids that work together to keep moisture in and harmful stuff out. When everything is working as it should, your skin stays hydrated, healthy, and glowing. But when this barrier gets damaged, it can lead to dryness, redness, and increased sensitivity.
Is your skin barrier compromised?
So, what causes a compromised skin barrier? Lots of things. Harsh skincare products, environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays, and even lifestyle factors like stress and diet can take a toll. When the skin barrier is weakened, it can't protect you as effectively, leading to various skin issues and even chronic conditions like eczema.
Meet The Barrier Cream
Which is why we created The Barrier Cream. This barrier-building facial moisturiser is designed with biomimetic ingredients and prebiotics to restore and strengthen your skin. Packed with everything your skin needs to bounce back and stay strong, it replenishes and restores even the most sensitive and irritated of skin.
What makes The Barrier Cream so special? It’s all in the ingredients. We’ve combined ceramides, cholesterol, hyaluronic acid, inulin, and our unique mBarrier™ Complex to create a powerhouse formula. Ceramides and cholesterol are natural lipids that help maintain the skin’s structure and retain moisture. Hyaluronic acid is a hydrating hero, drawing water into the skin to keep it plump and smooth. And inulin, a prebiotic, helps balance your skin’s microbiome, which is crucial for a healthy barrier.
We created our own complex
Our mBarrier™ Complex takes things to the next level. Designed to mimic the skin’s natural processes, it elevates the skin’s defence by neutralising free radicals and features plant-based adaptogens to uniquely support the skin's natural ability to adapt to stress and achieve balance.
Do you have sensitive skin?
The best part? The Barrier Cream is gentle enough for even the most sensitive and compromised skin types. Whether your skin is dry, irritated, or just in need of some TLC, it provides deep hydration, balance, and nourishment without any irritation. Use it daily, and you’ll start to see and feel the difference as your skin becomes more resilient and healthier over time.
In a nutshell, maintaining a healthy skin barrier is key to preventing moisture loss and protecting against external irritants. The Barrier Cream doesn’t just offer quick relief for compromised skin; it builds long-term resilience, keeping your skin hydrated, balanced, and protected.
