Samantha's Clinical advice

A Unique Pressed Serum That Soothes, Strengthens and Indulges the Senses in One Luxurious Step

Traditional moisturisers often fall short for dry, reactive, or post-treatment skin. That’s why I created this innovative pressed serum—to deliver rich, long-lasting nourishment and support barrier recovery.

The stratum corneum, your skin’s outermost layer, depends on essential lipids like ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids to stay strong. Barrier Repair Balm replenishes these vital components, restoring resilience, soothing inflammation, and locking in deep hydration.

Infused with calming blue botanicals, ceramides, and essential fatty acids, it helps rebuild the skin barrier and bring immediate comfort. Bakuchiol—a gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol—smooths skin texture and softens the look of fine lines without irritation.

Use daily as a nourishing moisturiser, or apply a generous layer overnight for intensive repair—ideal for dry, compromised, and sensitive skin.

Pure Intention – Breathe: Infused with blue flower essences, this balm carries a soft, calming aroma that encourages you to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect, offering a moment of serenity for both skin and soul.

Benefits

  • Visibly reduces redness and irritation
  • Supports recovery after advanced skin treatments
  • Infused with soothing botanicals to calm skin and senses
  • Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier function
  • Delivers deep, lasting moisture for a soft, dewy finish
  • Creates a calming ritual—soothing both skin and nervous system with every application

How to use

Warm a small amount between your fingertips and gently press into clean skin. Allow the soothing botanical essences to absorb as you take a moment to breathe deeply.

Pro Tip: For an ultra-nourishing overnight treatment, apply a thicker layer as a mask. For even deeper hydration, layer our Xcell skin shot beforehand to seal in an extra boost of absorbable moisture.

Wake to skin that feels noticeably soft, supple, and beautifully dewy.

Key Ingredients

Ceramides: Essential for barrier health, ceramides prevent moisture loss and block irritants. Levels decline with age and stress, leading to dryness and sensitivity. Replenishing them restores hydration, smoothness, and long-term resilience.

Pōhutukawa: This antioxidant-rich New Zealand native helps repair damaged skin, supports structural integrity, and restores barrier strength.

Blue Tansy: Naturally high in chamazulene, it calms and cools irritated skin. We use only the purest extract to ensure maximum potency and purity.

Bakuchiol: A gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol. Smooths texture, boosts collagen, and promotes firmness and glow—without the irritation.

Squalane: A skin-identical lipid that locks in moisture and supports barrier function. Lightweight, breathable, and suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Cupuaçu Butter: Deeply moisturising and rich in fatty acids, this butter enhances elasticity and helps prevent transepidermal water loss and premature ageing.

Marula Oil: Calms, nourishes, and supports repair in inflamed or weather-stressed skin. Packed with antioxidants for silky-soft, comforted skin.

Kawakawa: A soothing New Zealand botanical that helps reduce inflammation and relieve discomfort in fragile or reactive skin.

Comfrey Root: Encourages healthy cell renewal, accelerates healing, and helps restore balance in irritated or scar-prone skin.

  1. Nicole G –

    Amazing formula. Heals my skin redness overnight, particularly for my acne rosacea. Really unique product! Highly recommend!

  2. Jade Galy –

    Another dream product that I use in my salon that works on all skin types it’s incredibly healing thank you NC.

  3. Susan Ashcroft –

    Calming, soothing, repairing the list is endless I love this unique balm.

  4. Audriana –

    I really love this balm. Samantha was kind enough to provide me a sample, and I will definitely be buying a full size then. I’ve always been apprehensive of balms being too greasy, but this has such a unique texture and consistency and it doesn’t leave my skin too oily at all. It feels very soothing and moisturizing. It’s definitely helping my damaged barrier.

  5. Yip –

    I love this balm! I have impaired skin barrier from too frequent micro needling at skin clinic (which I quit doing it couple months ago and decided not to do it anymore), aging & sensitive skin, dehydrated lines, and I am a picker on zits. Whenever my skin is in distress, I massage this balm on my cleansed face (I layer nothing else, I just use it alone to heal my skin). If I have opened wounds results from picking the zits, they will turn slightly red right after I massaged the balm, BUT once the balm has been fully absorbed, the angry zits areas become soothed and dramatically calmed down, the next day I woke up without any inflammation. I put it around my eyes, lips! I wish it comes in tube packaging to avoid contamination 🙂
    I would highly recommend this balm to anyone! I can’t imagine anyone will not fall in love with it! Such a multi-tasking treat that provides exceptional healing power to impaired skin ❤️

    • Samantha Miller –

      Thank you so much for your review Yip. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. So happy to hear you’re loving the product—yes, and that beautiful skin healing is happening.

  6. Geoffrey Parsins –

    Very unusual formula not thick but incredibly replenishing, exactly like it says it gives more moisturisation than a regular moisturiser but not as oily as a balm. I highly recommend.

  7. Joh Peterson –

    I really have been enjoying this product it’s very unique and has really helped to restore my impaired barrier very impressed.

  8. Krishna Kapoor –
