Skin Barrier Support

Beauty Goals

• Restore and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier

• Improve moisture retention and prevent transepidermal water loss

• Soothe and protect skin from irritants and environmental damage

• Calm inflammation and prevent further barrier damage

Concerns Addressed

• Dry, irritated, or cracked skin

• Sensitivity and redness

• Chronic conditions like eczema or rosacea

• Dehydration and compromised skin barrier function

• Sensitivity to skincare products

Recommended Supplements

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids (2000–3000 mg EPA/DHA daily) – Helps rebuild the skin barrier and reduce inflammation

• Probiotics (10–20 billion CFU daily)—Supports gut-skin connection and reduces inflammation

• Vitamin D3 (2000–5000 IU daily) – Regulates skin function and strengthens the barrier

• Ceramides (1–2g daily)—Topical or oral supplementation for repairing the skin’s lipid barrier

• Zinc (15–30 mg daily) – Supports skin repair and helps with barrier function

Hero Ingredients

• Ceramides – Essential for repairing and reinforcing the skin’s barrier

• Fatty Acids (Linoleic Acid)—Strengthens barrier function and improves skin hydration

• Squalane—A lightweight lipid that mimics the skin’s natural oils and protects the barrier

• Panthenol (Vitamin B5) – Deeply hydrates and soothes irritated skin

• Madecassoside – A compound from Centella Asiatica, known for calming and repairing the barrier

Lifestyle Tips

• Avoid hot water and prolonged showers, as they can strip the skin of its natural oils

• Use a humidifier, especially in dry or air-conditioned environments

• Avoid skincare with alcohol, artificial fragrances, or harsh exfoliants

• Hydrate internally with water and antioxidant-rich foods (like berries, nuts, and seeds)

• Manage stress, as it can exacerbate skin conditions like eczema or rosacea
