What is a skin barrier

The skin barrier is our first line of defence against moisture loss, everyday irritants, and is essential for transporting nutrients to the skin.


When damaged, the skin barrier’s functions are reduced, meaning our skin struggles to stay hydrated and protect against everyday irritants. Signs of a damaged skin barrier include:


- Sensitivity and feelings of discomfort

- Dehydration and dryness

- Roughness and dry patches

- Blemishes and imperfections

How to repair skin barrier damage

The solution? Our NEW Oat & Ceramide Barrier Repair Cream. Clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier, it instantly comforts and builds long-term skin resilience for visibly smoother, softer skin with every use.

How to prevent skin barrier damage

Oat & Ceramide Barrier Repair Cream will get your skin barrier back in its best condition, but to prevent further damage, it’s important to prioritise a gentle skincare routine that supports skin barrier repair. Sun exposure, pollution, stress and overuse of exfoliants or strong formulas can all contribute to skin barrier damage.


Avoid harsh formulas, and introduce or reintroduce retinoids, AHAs, BHAs and vitamin C slowly – and only once your skin barrier is restored. A calm, smooth and healthy-looking complexion is a sign of a happy, healthy skin barrier.


Like all our formulas, our new skin barrier repair cream is made with natural and organic ingredients, without harsh chemicals or skin-irritating pesticides. It’s been dermatologically tested and found suitable for all skin types and tones, including sensitive skin.
