I believe good skin health begins with a healthy moisture barrier, the protective wall locking moisture in and keeping irritants out. Dry and damaged skin is not an easy thing to treat, simply because there are so many factors that may be contributing to its impairment. It may be dehydrated, or it may be oil-dry; that is, lacking important lipids.
Your skin’s moisture barrier has a brick-and-mortar like structure; the “bricks” are skin cells called Corneocytes and the “mortar” is a fatty mixture containing 25% Cholesterol, 25% Fatty Acids, and 50% Ceramides, and all types of lipids. If the skin’s sebaceous glands are less active, lipid production slows down and barrier function is inhibited.
Fortify was formulated with the perfect ratio of these vital ingredients in order to mimic and strengthen your natural barrier, bringing much needed relief to dry, fragile, and depleted skin.

Ingredients
Proprietary Ceramide Blend: Ceramides:Lipid molecules – the key component of the top layer of skin that is fully compatible with the ones already found within our own cell membranes that deplete with age. Ceramides protective role on the skin supports cellular rejuvenation, whilst reinforcing the natural barrier function.
Phospholipids: Our cells are surrounded by a membrane, which is made up of essential lipids structures and the optimal activity of our cells is regulated by this membrane fluidity. Due to their structure, phospholipids are able to penetrate the cellular membrane and nourish it, making them a highly efficient ingredient, when it comes to restoring and protecting the delicate barrier function.
Macadamia Nut Oil: A highly stable, hydrating oil that calms itchy flare-ups associated with dry skin, eczema, and dermatitis; fortifying damaged areas.
Magnesium Chloride: Alleviates inflammation and dryness in magnesium-deficient skin by increasing elasticity and moisture.

I love this product! I had a microneedling treatment that left my sensitive skin severely dry and dull. I tried the Fortify cream along with a shot of the Bio Lipid Complex and my face is soo soft now. Her products are amazing. I just ordered another round of the Fortify cream and some of her other products which Im excited to try! Samantha is also very nice and helpful.

I have been using Fortify and H2O now for about 9 months I have been using Tretinoin and was struggling with dry irritated skin at times after researching damaged skin barrier I came across the Nakia chemist products and website and was encouraged to try the fortify cream and the H2O hyaluronic acid I can honestly say I have seen a massive improvement in my skin texture and very rarely get dry days Evan though I have continued with tretinoin I am 58 years old and believe in credible skin products rather than paying for a brand with good advertising hype All I can say is that these products are lovely to use and have helped my skin enormously many thanks Samantha

I was diagnosed with perioral dermatitis 1 year ago. Since then, I have changed all my skincare, makeup, shampoo and toothpaste to natural alternatives. Along with changing my diet, I’ve tried many products over the past year and it has gradually gotten more stable. But it would still occasionally flare up when triggered by environmental factors or certain foods.
I felt that the skin barrier around my lip must be compromised for it to be so prone to flaring up. I came across The Naked Chemist when I was researching for skincare to help strengthen the skin barrier. I was impressed with the insightful information their website provided about their products and skin health.
I purchased the Fortify Barrier Repair Cream and the Bio Lipid Complex. I layer the Fortify Cream on top of The Bio Lipid Complex. After using them for about 2 weeks, the skin barrier my lips got much stronger as it hardly gets triggered now.
My brother who has been suffering from eczema and psoriasis on his face and body for the past 3 months, also uses Fortify and he feels it helps strengthen his skin and calms down the redness and irritation. We are very greatful to Samantha for her amazing products and advice. I have been recommending her products to my friends and family who also suffers from similar skin conditions.
