NZ Pohutakawa & Ceramides 60mL (2.0 fl oz)
We believe good skin health begins with a healthy moisture barrier – the protective wall – it 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 structure, 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.
FREE FROM: Silicones, synthetic fragrance, parabens, sulfates, formaldehyde, phthalates, silicones, lanolin, petrolatum, propylene glycol, PEGs, and more.

Ingredients
Ceramides: They have a protective role on your skin, helping to support cell rejuvenation. They are incredibly healing, helping to reinforce your skin’s barrier function.
Pohutukawa: Your skin fully recognises these deeply conditioning botanical extracts as identical to the nutritional building blocks of its structure, greatly enhancing its ability to strengthen and repair itself.
4% Lipid complex: All cells have a membrane made of essential Lipid structures that regulate optimal cellular activity. Our complex mimics these Lipids integrating with the cell membranes, nourishing them and restoring the barrier function.
Macadamia Nut Oil: This skin-identical oil is rich in Oleic (Omega 9) and Linoleic (Omega 6) acids, which repair and help reduce water loss from your skin’s surface. Palmitoleic (Omega 7) acid is an active antimicrobial that helps to keep skin healthy.
Cholesterol: Around 25% of Cholesterol makes up your extracellular matrix which plays a vital role in maintaining the barrier function. Cholesterol depletes with age and trauma, so topically replenishing with Cholesterol.
