    Moisture reimagined. Barrier layer body support to BOOST CERAMIDES, PROTECT WITH PROBIOTICS + PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL HYDRATION for total skin health with age-delay benefits.

    Size

    An oil/cream hybrid that delivers breathable hydration and lasting protection for the skin on your body. Restoring for all skin types, this lightweight, milky texture offers supreme hydration and daily nourishment to resolve dryness.

    When healthy skin becomes dry, depleted, or imbalanced, it can lead to vulnerabilities. By improving + supporting barrier function you will enhance the skin’s innate ability to balance and moisturize.

    This strategic formulation utilizes novel surfactants, emollients, and probiotics to boost moisture levels and promote optimal ceramide production. Every single ingredient contributes to comprehensive support for a smarter approach to whole-body care. With this one layer, you can feel assured you’re applying the right amount of attention to the entire skin system.

    Benefits

    Moisturizes and delivers daily nourishment (without occlusives) to resolve dryness.

    Boosts natural ceramide production which can become depleted as a result of symptomatic skin, environmental conditions and aging.

    Promotes a highly functional + strong barrier layer to encourage innate moisture levels and microbial balance.

    Soothes + calms with locally harvested calendula, long revered for its healing benefits.

    All ingredients are purposeful + beneficial for skin health with no additives.

    Ingredients

    STREPTOCOCCUS THERMOPHILUS—A symbiotic microbe containing high levels of sphingomyelinase (ASMase), an enzyme. Topicals containing this probiotic can generate a significant increase in skin ceramide amounts via the ASMase/ceramide pathway. Biosynthesis of ceramides, which comprise 50% of the skin’s barrier layer, declines with age.

    GLUCONOLACTONE—Polyhydroxy acid (PHA), a potent humectant, and natural preservative. It enhances water balance while acting like a very gentle exfoliant.

    POLYGLYCERYL POLYRICINOLEATE—A novel food-based surfactant and emulsifier. Directly improves barrier function by multi-tasking with probiotics to provide microbial balance. In addition, the polyglycerol part of the molecule provides emollience to lubricate the skin and improve overall texture and appearance.

    CALENDULA INFUSED SAFFLOWER OIL—Locally harvested from Marie Veronique Nadeau’s farm in Northern California this herbaceous plant oil is long known for its soothing properties.

    ALL INGREDIENTS

    Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Aqua, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Lactobacillus Ferment, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Gluconolactone, Sodium Chloride, Streptococcus Thermophilus, Maltodextrin, Tocopherol, Citric Acid

      Love this

      Love this product - I have to hoard it because it is so expensive. Only criticism is I wish it had a pump dispenser. I put my own into it.

      I love these products

      I have been using thick creams for years thinking that was the only way to help my very dry skin. This product isn’t like that, but really works. It kept my skin hydrated even in winter. I will definitely continue to purchase.

      Works well!

      This product is amazing. I have developed eczema and was afraid it might return after switching to the Body Barrier Emulsion. (The cream I was currently using was discontinued). This leaves my skin very soft. It is very expensive. However, I love the packaging and ingredients.

      Healing my eczema

      This stuff is shocking. I have a few spots of eczema on my body (stomach, ribs, thigh) and this stuff has literally altered its composition in a matter of 2 weeks. The itch is reduced to almost 0% and the bumpy, scaly texture is gone. I use the emulsion morning and night, right after a shower, and I am quite literally watching my eczema fade away. I am so impressed and bewildered by this product. If you've tried everything for eczema, but haven't tried this yet, I can't recommend it enough. Even if you're not searching for a medical solution, this stuff is insanely hydrating. Nothing sinks in better or retains moisture like it. Thank you MV for this godsend of a product.
