CERAMIDES AND NZ POHUTUKAWA 30mL 1.0 fl oz
Healthy skin is made up of 50% lipids & ceramides, 25% cholesterol, and 25% fatty acids. One of the main components in the skin’s moisture barrier – the fatty acids – are found throughout the dermis and are crucial to skin health. Often, these components become out of balance; factors outside of our control – including genetics, stress, and pollution – deplete natural lipid production, intensifying skin’s reactive state and weakening its protection as the barrier breaks down.
After years of research on the protective role of the barrier function, I created Bio Lipid Complex with a precise, proportionate blend of fatty acids and ingredients identical to those synthesised by the skin. Light and molecularly intelligent, lipids and omegas act like cement between the cell walls; blending with sebum to actively re-balance the barrier without aggressive action, providing protection from the entry of microbes and allergens, and preventing moisture loss.
The results are promising, with many of my clients who suffer from the dryness, inflammation, and premature ageing associated with dermatitis and eczema reporting an improvement in their symptoms as I continue to treat ‘like with like’ with skin-identical ingredients that are missing.
Skin Health Benefits
- Skin-identical ingredients bring instant relief to dry, depleted skin
- Comforts and calms sensitive skin, reducing inflammation and irritation
- Boosts skin’s ceramide and lipid production, improving structural integrity and rebuilding an impaired barrier
- The bright orange complex is due to natural antioxidants that neutralise free radicals
Ingredients
Proprietary Ceramide Blend: Lipid molecules – the key component of the top layer of skin, are fully compatible with those found within our own cell membranes that support cellular rejuvenation and reinforce the natural barrier function.
Pohutukawa: Your skin fully recognises this deeply conditioning botanical extract as being identical to the nutritive building blocks of its own structure; greatly enhancing its ability to strengthen and repair itself.
Cholesterol: The lipids on the skins surface contain cholesterol that deplete as we age. The hydrophobic nature of cholesterol restores barrier properties of damaged skin, offering relief to dry, irritated and chapped skin.
Sea Buckthorn Oil: An important antioxidant rich in Omegas 6 and 9, as well as Vitamins A, C, E, and K, this herbal extract halts the damage caused by environmental aggressors that, left unattended, lead to premature ageing.

I am very thankful for these products! I’ve been dealing with skin issues for quite some time (rosacea, PoD) but early this year, I had an acute flare on my entire face with redness, burning, painful pustules, itching etc. All attempts to calm and cure this just worsened the situation. By the time I saw a dermatologist, I was diagnosed with an impaired skin barrier. I believe this was really the underlying problem all along, however, due to multiple sensitivities with many ingredients, I was left with very little options to nourish my skin, and my skin was depleted for years. I was delighted to find Samantha’s articles on barrier repair and even more elated to see that she was using natural ingredients in her products. I am extremely careful about what I use on my skin and because of sensitivities to even some natural ingredients, it’s wonderful that Samantha will customize orders. I haven’t had to customize yet, as the H20, Lipid Complex and Fortify have been healing my skin nicely. My skin actually feels soft like skin again instead of sandpaper. Samantha is very knowledgeable about what the skin needs and more importantly has crafted skin nourishing products with natural ingredients! Additionally, she is very thoughtful and sincere in communicating with and helping her clients find the best products for individual concerns. Truly a gem!

UPDATE: In the short while I have been using the skin shots (H2O, BIO, ACE) and Fortify cream, I can definitely tell an improvement in my skin. My face had become dry and rough from years of sun exposure and effects from aging. And now, my face feels softer and smoother!
Also, Samantha goes ‘above and beyond’ in providing excellent customer service. She works hard to ensure clients get the right skin treatment for their specific needs, including creating customized treatments for special conditions. I am extremely pleased with the quality of products and services of The Naked Chemist!

Cheryl thank you so much for this lovely review it means a lot. I do really try to cut through the noise about skin care and treat my clients on a one on one basis, as we are all so metabolically different, I am so glad that the products are proving beneficial and you are getting great results. Yours in skin health Samantha

I just finished a round of ‘chemical’ treatment for an area on my nose to treat potential Actinic Keratosis. The treatment left a very small area looking as if it had incurred a bad sunburn. Post the treatment, I have been saturating it with the liquid shots (H2O, Bio, ACE) and Fortify cream, which seems to really be helping with the recovery.
