Skin Barrier 101

The stratum corneum (skin barrier) is composed of 3 key lipids (Ceramides, Cholesterol & Fatty Acids). When functioning at its best, your skin barrier keeps the bad stuff (heat, pollution, soaps, chemicals & irritants) OUT, and skin is healthy, plump and hydrated.

Ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids are most skin-compatible when included at the clinically proven, golden 3-1-1 ratio.
This equimolar ratio is the key to optimum barrier repair.

Our Tri-Ceramide Complex is formulated with these essential lipids at the Golden Ratio to rebuild the skin barrier & restore natural moisture levels, ensuring skin functions at its best, every single day.
