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 of our clients suffer from eczema and inflamed breakouts, including dryness, inflammation, and premature ageing. With regular application, they have reported improved symptoms in as little as 12 weeks.
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.
