A Healthy, Functioning Skin Barrier

Why is it important?

Our first series of products are designed with a functional approach to the care of our skin. These antioxidant, cell boosting formulas are designed to build and maintain a healthy skin barrier.

Ok, what is our skin barrier?

The skin barrier, also known as the stratum corneum, is the outermost layer of the skin that serves as a protective shield between the body and the external environment. It plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health and overall well-being.

Here are it's key functions:

1. Protection
The skin barrier protects against environmental aggressors such as pollutants, bacteria, and harmful UV rays, preventing them from penetrating deeper layers of the skin.

2. Moisture Retention
It helps retain moisture by preventing water loss, keeping the skin hydrated and plump. A strong barrier is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and preventing dryness.

3. Regulation of Skin pH
The barrier helps maintain the skin's natural pH level, which is vital for optimal skin function and supporting beneficial bacteria.

4. Wound Healing
A healthy skin barrier aids in the healing process of cuts, scrapes, and other injuries by providing a protective layer that allows for repair and regeneration.

5. Sensory Function
The skin barrier is plays a role in sensory perception, allowing the skin to respond to touch, temperature, and pain.

This is where our ingredients and formulas play such a beneficial role.
