SOOTHE – STRENGTHEN – SHIELD
Bring dry, sensitive skin back into balance with this Ceramide rich barrier repair oil, which mimics the composition and structure of your skin’s lipid layers, replenishing the protective barrier.
The skin-identical ingredients – Ceramides, Lipids, Squalane, Omegas 3,6 and 9 and natural Vitamin A and E from Sea Buckthorn- integrate naturally with your skin cells to calm, soothe, and rejuvenate scarring and ward off premature ageing.
New Zealand Pohutakawa deeply nourishes, so your skin is more moisturised, with less inflammation, irritation, and dryness.
Daily Ritual: Apply 3-5 drops in the evening over your face, neck, and décolleté before moisturising.
Skin Concerns: Dry, flaky patches, inflammation, impaired barrier, superficial scars, premature ageing, fine lines, and over-exfoliated.
NZ Pohutukawa & Lipids 30mL 1.0 fl oz
Your skin health begins with rebuilding the natural barrier function and eliminating inflammation.
A layer of lipids covers the surface of your skin, playing an integral role in skin health – maintaining the balance of sebum (oil) on the surface whilst creating a protective moisture barrier that keeps microbes out.
Stress, UV, and pollutants can knock these components out of balance, impairing your skin’s barrier function. Water escapes from your skin without this invisible shield, causing dehydration and initiating an immune response that can lead to redness and inflammation; additionally, elevated oil levels may occur – a significant factor in acne’s pathophysiology.
After years of research on the protective role of the barrier function, we created this unique barrier repair oil to bridge this gap, bring sebaceous secretions into balance, and tackle the underlying causes of inflammation.
The precise, proportionate blend of Lipids identical to those found in your skin keeps the protective barrier functioning normally as underlying tissues become less reactive, and skin correction becomes easier.
Many clients suffer from eczema and inflamed breakouts, including dryness, inflammation, and premature ageing. They have reported improved symptoms in as little as 12 weeks with regular application.
Tip: For best results, replenish with Bio Lipid, which contains Ceramides and Sebaceous Lipids found naturally in your skin, including Triglycerides, Phospholipids, and Squalene, which fill the spaces between your skins cells like mortar or cement, replenishing and repairing your barrier function.
The next layer is Fortify Barrier Repair Cream, containing Epidermal Lipids, Cholesterol, Fatty Acids, and Ceramides to improve sensitive, dry skin, locking those all-important lipids against your skin.
Skin Health Benefits
- skin-identical ingredients bring instant relief to dry, depleted skin
- optimises the synthesis of filaggrin – an essential protein in the barrier function
- comforts and calms sensitive skin; reducing inflammation and irritation
- boosts your skin’s ceramide and lipid production; improving structural integrity, rebuilding an impaired barrier
- natural antioxidants create the bright orange hue that neutralises the free radicals, warding off premature ageing
Ingredients
Ceramides: Naturally present in your skin, they help to support cellular rejuvenation, whilst reinforcing your natural barrier function, to keep healthy skin.
Phospholipids Lipid molecules are the key components of the epidermis; they are fully compatible with the skin, supporting cellular rejuvenation and reinforcing your protective barrier.
Pohutukawa: Your skin recognises this deeply conditioning botanical extract as identical to the nutritive building blocks of its structure, greatly enhancing its ability to strengthen, replenish and repair.
Macadamia oil: With a chemical profile similar to sebum and the highest content of Palmitoleic and Linoleic acid – essential Fatty acids that deplete with age, the regular application ensures your skin stays soft and supple.
Safflower Oil: Containing as much as 70% Omega-6, an essential Fatty acid that your body cannot synthesise independently, Omega-6 helps to rebalance your skin’s Lipid levels, encouraging healthy skin.
Vitamin E: Essential in your body for cell protection; Vitamin E is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the cell wall’s from damaging free radicals that can lead to premature ageing.
