Barrier · the lipids
Shea + Cocoa Butter & Olive Unsaponifiables

The Read
Barrier repair, honestly sourced.
What it is
A rich overnight barrier cream.
A fragrance-light, slow-absorbing cream for dry, compromised or post-procedure skin — the last step before sleep.
Why it works
Named for ceramides. Built on plant lipids.
Despite the name it carries, this cream contains no ceramides. Its barrier repair comes from cocoa and shea butters, sunflower oil, olive-oil unsaponifiables and plant waxes — fats that occupy the same sealing role ceramides play. Sodium PCA and hyaluronic acid pull water in; an algae ferment supports overnight recovery. We'd rather tell you what's actually in the jar.
How to use
Last step, every night.
On dry, compromised skin, smooth a generous layer as the final step. Let it absorb slowly overnight.
