[Barrier Damage & Skin Weakness]

The skin barrier is essential for protecting against moisture loss, irritants and environmental aggressors. When compromised, skin becomes more prone to dryness, redness, breakouts and sensitivity. Barrier damage can result from over-exfoliation, harsh actives, pollution or post-procedure stress.

Supporting barrier repair involves replenishing skin-identical lipids, strengthening cellular cohesion and reducing inflammation. Once restored, the skin retains hydration more effectively, feels calmer and is better equipped to withstand daily stressors.

[Ingredients that address Barrier Damage & Skin Weakness]

Ceramide Complex (NP, AP, EOP + Cholesterol & Phytosphingosine)

This advanced Ceramide Complex mimics the skin’s natural lipid structure, combining ceramides NP, AP and EOP with cholesterol and phytosphingosine. Together, they work to rebuild the barrier, reduce moisture loss and improve skin resilience.

By restoring optimal barrier function, this complex helps alleviate dryness, sensitivity and inflammation while improving overall skin texture and comfort. It is essential for maintaining healthy, balanced skin.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is a clinically proven ingredient valued for its ability to regulate oil production, improve uneven skin tone and strengthen the skin barrier. It supports the skin’s natural lipid structure, helping reduce moisture loss while improving overall resilience.

Niacinamide is particularly effective for combination and oily skin, where it helps minimise the appearance of enlarged pores and excess shine without drying the skin. Over time, it also contributes to smoother texture and improved clarity.

Well tolerated by most skin types, Niacinamide works synergistically with hydrating and calming ingredients, making it suitable for daily use and long-term skin balance.

Panthenol (Vitamin B5)

Panthenol, also known as Vitamin B5, is a powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin while supporting barrier repair. It helps improve skin softness, elasticity and overall hydration levels, making it ideal for dry or compromised skin.

Its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties make Panthenol particularly effective for calming redness, irritation and post-treatment sensitivity. With continued use, skin appears healthier, smoother and more resilient.

Beta-Glucan

Beta-Glucan is a naturally derived polysaccharide known for its exceptional ability to hydrate and soothe the skin. It enhances moisture retention while reinforcing the skin’s natural defence system, often outperforming hyaluronic acid in long-term hydration.

In addition to hydration, Beta-Glucan helps calm inflammation and supports skin recovery, making it ideal for sensitive, reactive or post-procedure skin. It promotes smoother texture and improved resilience over time.

Ectoin

Ectoin is a powerful bio-protective molecule known as an extremolyte, originally discovered in microorganisms that survive extreme environments. In skincare, it works by stabilising cell membranes and protecting skin from environmental stressors such as pollution, UV radiation and blue light exposure.

Beyond protection, Ectoin significantly improves hydration by reducing transepidermal water loss and supporting long-term barrier resilience. It is especially valuable for sensitive, urban-exposed or dehydrated skin, helping maintain comfort, elasticity and skin health throughout the day.

Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Extract

Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Extract is a next-generation biotechnology ingredient derived from microalgae known for its exceptional survival capabilities. In skincare, it helps support cellular repair mechanisms, improving the skin’s ability to recover from environmental stressors such as pollution and UV exposure.

This extract also contributes to improved firmness and elasticity by supporting healthier skin structure at a cellular level. Over time, skin appears stronger, more resilient and visibly smoother.
