BARRIER RESTORE SERUM

CERAMIDES Lipid molecules within cell membranes, they help cells form a protective layer that plumps skin and retains moisture.

PLANKTON EXTRACT restructures the skin matrix for improved barrier function.

SODIUM HYALURONATE Occurs naturally in skin, maintaining its moisture and elasticity. This large molecule can’t fully penetrate the skin’s outer layers to fill wrinkles, yet it’s a wonderful humectant, holding up to 1000x its own weight in water.

L-ARGININE Also known as L-glutamine, this amino acid is proven to play an important role in the growth of fibroblast cells.

SODIUM PCA A humectant found in human skin has high water absorbing properties, and the ability to absorb moisture from the air.

PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE Some studies show topical application slows wrinkling by inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen.

MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE May help alleviate dryness/inflammation in magnesium deficient skin by increasing elasticity and moisture.

BARRIER LIPID COMPLEX

CERAMIDES Lipid molecules within cell membranes, they help cells form a protective layer that plumps skin and retains moisture.

CHOLESTEROL An important barrier lipid, it has water-binding properties and is crucial to maintaining proper barrier function.

FATTY ACIDS Polyunsaturated fats crucial to proper barrier function, examples are: Cranberry Seed oil, Black Raspberry seed oil, Chia seed oil, prickly pear seed oil, evening primrose oil.

PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE A phospholipid that is an important (though small) component of the lipid barrier. Some studies show topical application slows wrinkling by inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen.

EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID A vegan alternative (from algae oil) to the hard-to-get type of Omega-3 (EPA) found in fatty fish.

ALL INGREDIENTS

Rubus Occidentalis (Black Raspberry) Seed Oil, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Squalane, Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil, Sambucus Nigra (Elderberry) Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Salvia Hispanica (Chia) Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Opuntia Ficus-Indica (Prickly Pear) Seed Oil, Water, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Rubus Fruticosus (Blackberry) Seed Oil, Behenyl Alcohol, Phosphatidyl Serine, Phospholipids (Soy Lecithin), Sodium Hyaluronate, Glyceryl Stearate, Ceramide NP (N-Acylated Phytosphingosine), Phytosterols (Plant Cholesterol), Eicosapentaenoic/Docosahexaenoic Acid (Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Schizochytrium spp. Microalgae), Propanediol, Glycerin, Glyceryl Undecylenate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Xanthan Gum

BODY BARRIER EMULSION

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
