This unique pressed serum is holistic beauty at its best that provides a complete sensory experience.
Indulging your senses and soothing your skin – in one luxurious, fragrant step.
This decadent treatment balm was created for many clients whose healing needed to be activated deeper.
Clients with significantly compromised skin often find that their moisturising routine is not enough, and this unique concentrate bridges that gap – unlike traditional moisturisers, it won’t immediately absorb, encouraging skin recovery whilst providing intense nourishment.
Your barrier function is a specialised layer that forms the outermost part of your skin that is made up of Ceramides, Cholesterol, and fatty acids, which are crucial for normal barrier function; it is this vital front line that protects you against the environment, pollution, bacterial infection, UV, and more.
Barrier repair concentrate has been intelligently formulated with Ceramides and natural Cholesterol, which integrates into the skin cells perfectly and the spaces between them, critical in strengthening your protective barrier by maintaining moisture balance.
An intoxicating blend of soothing Azulene oils Comfrey, Kawa Kawa, St John’s Wort and Calendula, anti-inflammatory superheroes that work to quiet the tenderness associated with sensitive, inflamed skin, a must for any first aid kit.
NAKED INTENTION – BREATH
Healing Blue Tansy, the darling of the aromatherapy world, imparts a powerful energetic reminder to love thyself.
A true sensory experience, taking you on a journey into the heart of New Zealand flower essences that have been carefully chosen for their subtle energies to quiet your nervous system and soothe an overactive mind, reminding you to stop, breathe, and connect with your emotions.
Ingredients
Ceramides: These are critical components of the cell membranes found within the top layer of your skin that deplete with age; they are fully compatible with your skin and have a protective role.
Pohutukawa: Your skin fully recognises this deeply conditioning botanical extract as identical to the nutritional building blocks of your skin’s structure, greatly enhancing its ability to strengthen and repair.
Squalane: This clever oil has a molecular structure similar to the natural wax esters in your skin. Sebum (oil) contains 30% wax esters. Your skin easily recognises it as its own: it absorbs deep, creating a thin, non-occlusive layer that reinforces your protective barrier.
Cupuaçu Butter: A creamy butter rich in Fatty acids and Phytosterols that offers superior moisturisation, softening and smoothing your skin, enhancing elasticity.
Marula Oil: Rich in Fatty acids Omega 6 and 9, Marula oil deeply hydrates and reduces inflammation and redness, and its potent Antioxidants properties help ward off premature ageing.
Blue Tansy: Rich in Chamazulene, the chemical compound that gives Tansy its valuable anti-inflammatory and skin rejuvenation benefits.
Kawa Kawa: A calming anti-inflammatory is ideal for conditions such as eczema and rosacea, creating a barrier – sealing in moisture to support the active repair of your skin.
Comfrey Root: Traditionally known for bone healing. It stimulates cellular renewal, repairing and healing damaged skin.

So glad you are enjoying it Sarah
Britta –
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!
Samantha Miller –

Samantha Miller –
Aria we are so glad you like it, with its new improved formula and additional Blue tansy it is becoming a firm favourrite
Laurie –
Ceramide Barrier Repair Balm by Naked Chemist is an exceptional formulation.
Having hyper-sensitive reactive fragile skin, I have, for more than 20 years, been frustrated searching endlessly for products my skin would accept that could calm, comfort,
provide generous long lasting hydration, and allay a tendency to flush. Happily, this Ceramide Balm ended my search.
Additionally, as the skin reacts very badly to essential oil mixtures, upon request, Samantha has been kind enough to make this Balm without use of “essential oils”. I am very grateful and appreciative of her care and obvious dedication to her craft.
Final Word: This Ceramide Balm is in a class of its own…matchless.
Samantha Miller –
Hi Laurie
Thank you for your wonderful review. We have been really pleased that we have been able to share your journey back to skin health. We are of course happy to customise your formula especially if your skin has a special requirement which many sensitive skin types do. Yours in skin health Samantha

Chelaine Soo –
Reduces skin itchiness and redness overnight for all kinds of skin allergies. In June last year, I was staying at a mountain resort where the whether was dry and temperature will drop till 20 °c at night..especially when it rains. This is the only thing i used as a moisturizer before I sleep and i always woke up with clear skin. Am routine was DNA and Fortify. That’s the only 3 items I brought during my stay there. Less is best for people with sensitive and weak skin barrier. My skin tends to have flare ups and redness when inflammation sets in. With enough sleep and this miracle balm, the redness will reduce in as fast as 12 hours.. Kudos to Naked Chemist.
Samantha Miller –
Hi Chelaine thankyou for the wonderful review and you are so right less is best and keeping inflammation out is at the route of all premature ageing as far as we are concerned. Samantha
Kylie Chivers –
A soothing product that my skin was craving!
Samantha Miller –
It is meant to bridge the gap between a moisturiser and a balm, so glad it is doing the job.
Antoine Scicluna –
You know the satisfaction you get from drinking a cold sweet iced tea after a long day in the Summer sun. The Ceramide Barrier Repair Balm is a refreshing drink for your facial skin. The first time I applied it, my dry and sensitive skin started feeling better immediately. I highly recommend it to people who have dry, sensitive, and/or combination skin.
Samantha Miller –
Thank you for this wonderful feedback on Ceramide, as we are really trying to bridge the gap between a moisturiser and a dry sensitive skin here – where a moisturiser just doesn’t always offer quite enough penetrative hydration and moisturisation, so this is great to know you are getting the type of result we are trying to achieve with this formula from a clinical perspective. Samantha
Clara –
This is another product that should be winning awards.
This product is THE product that we people with non-oil producing skins dream about. I use it as my night moisturiser or apply it really thickly as a mask. It smells divine and is incredibly calming and relaxing. It does have a blue hue and I’ve noticed it does colour the creases of my very pale neck blue, but washes off easily. I couldn’t recommend this more highly to people with my skin type.
Samantha Miller –
This is a new addition to the range and unique in its formula in that it contains phospholipids and ceramides. Blue is from the chamazulene and indigo so perfectly natural and exceptionally anti inflammatory. So great to hear you enjoyed it. thank you for the very honest feedback.
