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.

    This balm is a real treat for my dehydrated combination skin! I use it once a week in the evening, after a mineral clay mask. Even though it feels very rich at first, it sinks into my skin within a few minutes. Once the balm is fully absorbed my skin feels ultra nourished and extra soft – a very luxurious product indeed!
