Ultra Facial Skin Barrier Repair Balm with Squalane

Barrier Balm is safe to use on the face, neck, and body - anywhere that you made need an extra boost of nourishing hydration or are dealing with dry, sensitive skin.

A compromised skin barrier creates vulnerability in the skin. It can cause increased loss of hydration or increased sensitivity from exposure to environmental aggressors. Barrier Balm helps to boost the strength of skin's barrier through nourishing hydration and soothing irritation.

Barrier Balm works to repair the skin barrier through 4 primary ingredients: Ceramides, Squalane, Glacial Glycoprotein, and Trehalose. Ceramides, which account for up to 50% of the skin barrier's content, are used to replenish the barrier and repair its function. Squalane and Glacial Glycoprotein provide replenishing hydration. Finally, Trehalose forms a protective barrier on the skin and helps to shield it from environmental stressors.

Strengthening the skin barrier is accomplished through a handful of behaviors. Swap out your harsh cleanser for a gentle, non-stripping cleanser, go gently on exfoliation, make sure to hydrate (from the inside and the outside), and avoid exposure to aggressive environments that may have heavy pollution or extreme temperatures (like very hot showers). Most importantly, make sure you are replenishing the barrier by using a well-tolerated moisturizer (our Ultra Facial Cream is a world-wide beloved formula made for even the most sensitive of skin) and touching up with nourishing products like Ultra Facial Barrier Balm throughout the day.

A damaged barrier can be a result from several factors such as environmental aggressors, pollution, overuse of active ingredients, or using cleansers and exfoliants that may be too harsh or stripping.
