BYOLOGY CLASS
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.
