What is the Cream Barrier designed to do?
The Cream Barrier is designed to strengthen and restore the skin's natural protective barrier. It deeply hydrates, nourishes, and shields the skin from environmental stressors while helping to calm irritation and prevent moisture loss. Powered by peptides, plant-based antioxidants, and moisture-binding ingredients, it's ideal for compromised, dry, or sensitive skin.
What is the skin barrier and why does it matter?
Your skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin, made up of lipids and cells that protect you from environmental stressors, bacteria, and moisture loss. When healthy, it keeps hydration in and irritants out. Every product we create supports — not compromises — this essential protective layer.
Is the Cream Barrier suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?
Yes. The formula is free of harsh actives and rich in soothing lipids, phospholipids, and botanical antioxidants. If you know you react to essential oils, do a quick patch-test first—the natural aromatic blend is gentle for most but every skin is unique.
Does the Cream Barrier help repair and protect the skin barrier?
Absolutely. Beeswax, shea butter, triglycerides, and phospholipids seal in moisture, while peptides and antioxidant plant extracts support barrier repair and defend against environmental stress.
What makes this formula different from a typical moisturizer?
It’s a “treatment + moisturizer” hybrid:
- Barrier-mimicking lipids to seal and strengthen
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 to signal collagen renewal
- Saccharomyces ferment & buddleja extract for antioxidant calm and urban pollution protection
Most moisturizers offer hydration or moisturization alone; the Cream Barrier actively rebuilds, protects and fortifies.
How do I apply the Cream Barrier for best results?
Apply the Cream Barrier to clean, damp skin—ideally right after using a toner &/or serum. This helps lock in hydration and allows the cream to absorb more efficiently. Use gentle upward strokes and press it into the skin rather than rubbing. A small amount goes a long way.
Can I use the Cream Barrier if I have acne-prone skin?
No. The Cream Barrier is not recommended for acne-prone skin. The Shea Butter in the formula can cause pore clogging and acne breakouts.
Will the Cream Barrier feel heavy or greasy on my skin?
The Cream Barrier is a thick, lush cream designed to mimic and support the skin’s natural barrier. While it may feel rich upon application, it’s best applied to damp skin—this helps it absorb quickly and evenly. Within minutes, it settles into a soft, elastic finish with a protective layer.
Can I use the Cream Barrier daily, morning and night?
Definitely. Use it twice daily—or just at night if you prefer something lighter under daytime SPF.
Is the Cream Barrier pregnancy-safe?
We consider the Cream Barrier to be pregnancy-safe based on its ingredients and intended use. However, because every pregnancy is unique and individual sensitivities can change, we always recommend consulting with your physician or OB-GYN before introducing any new skincare products during pregnancy.
What does the peptide in the formula do for the skin?
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 is a signaling peptide shown to stimulate six major components of the skin matrix (including collagen I & III and hyaluronic acid), helping to smooth the look of fine lines and improve firmness over time.
Can I use the Cream Barrier after exfoliants, retinoids, or peels?
Yes—the Cream Barrier is ideal post-treatment. It replenishes lipids, calms potential irritation, and locks in hydration so the skin can recover faster.
How long does one jar last with regular use?
With twice-daily use on face and neck, most customers report a lifespan of 8 weeks.
