We believe good skin health begins with a healthy moisture barrier – the protective wall – locks moisture in and keeps irritants out, keeping your skin healthy.
Sadly over time, environmental stressors, age, harsh products and inappropriate treatments can undermine essential ingredients in your skin, breaking down the barrier function. As much as 50% of Lipids can be lost from your skin, damaging this protective barrier. Therefore, the more variety of Lipids you have, the better your barrier will defend against many skin conditions ranging from premature ageing to severe dryness, breakouts or inflammation.
You can think of your protective barrier as the brick-and-mortar structure of your skin, containing “bricks” of Corneocytes or skin cells. Ceramides, Cholesterol, and Fatty Acids are the “mortar” that holds these bricks together whilst preventing irritants and harmful bacteria from entering.
Fortify contains ingredients that mimic the composition and structure of your skin. It has the perfect ratio of skin-identical ingredients that infuse your skin’s network, allowing it to integrate into the cells perfectly and the spaces between them to relieve dry, fragile, inflamed skin.
These ingredients are the science behind restoring and maintaining your barrier’s health – the armour which will ultimately keep your skin healthy. When functioning correctly, the acid mantle’s delicate microflora is balanced, the protective barrier function is intact, and your skin is youthful.

I just have to re-order the Fortify cream, it is that good!! I’ve been diagnosed with seborrhoeic dermatitis + mild rosacea and it’s been very difficult to find a moisturiser that calms my skin without breaking me out. I spoke with Sam about my condition and she suggested this cream with a slight adjustment to the ingredients (I know what my common irritants are). I notice that it’s worked very well to repair (and maintain) my skin barrier throughout winter. I thought I won’t need it in summer but I was wrong 😑 I found the summer temperature here (Victoria, Australia) is as dry as winter with very little humidity, so my skin is dry (cheek area) and dehydrated (T-zone). I like the elegant texture of this cream as well, not shiny, not matt, just the right consistency. I found her when researching about seb derm and another blogger pointed me to her blog I found very educational, I learned a lot about her own skin journey and various skincare ingredients from there too. Thanks Sam & team, you’ve made a difference to the way I look after my skin health. Cheers!!

Hi, Sandy what a really wonderful review. We appreciate it has been a journey treating your skin but so happy with the results. Humidity, the sun an impaired barrier and your associated conditions are not easy to treat, But this well-thought-out moisturiser has been years in the making and tweaking for you, of course. to really help people heal their skin.
