A barrier repair balm rather than a moisturiser. Ceramides are the lipids that hold skin cells together — when they are depleted, skin loses water, stings and stays red no matter what you put on it. Replacing them is one of the few genuinely structural things skincare can do.
The cupuaçu butter base makes it rich without the greasy finish that usually comes with balms this occlusive.
Who it suits
All skin types including sensitive. This is what to reach for when skin is genuinely compromised — winter dryness that will not lift, post-procedure recovery, over-exfoliated skin, or eczema-prone patches.
What is in it, and why
- Ceramide Complex — supports maintenance of the skin’s moisture barrier
- Allantoin — repairs dry skin and helps retain moisture
- Calendula extract — calms the appearance of redness and irritation
- Elderberry seed oil — essential fatty acids for a healthy-looking barrier
- Cupuaçu butter — thick moisturising butter with a velvety, non-greasy finish
How to use it
Apply to cleansed skin as your final step, or over your usual moisturiser as a sealing layer when skin is particularly dry. It also works as a targeted balm on individual dry patches rather than all over.
What to pair it with
Use over the Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer when skin needs both calming and sealing. Browse Moisturizers, Cleansers and Serums & Oils.
