Balances skin, nourishes, supports skin barrier.
- A gentle foaming gel that lifts away makeup, impurities and pollution in one simple step - no double cleanse needed
- Using too many skincare products causes stress to our skin and also the environment. BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER strips back your routine without stripping your skin. This soap-free, sulfate-free foaming gel lifts away makeup, impurities and pollution in 1 step. Balancing pH levels, retaining moisture, repopulating the topical microbiome and protecting the barrier for a clean, healthy complexion. No double cleanse needed.
- Over 90% of skin conditions can be traced back to an impaired skin barrier, the skin’s natural immune system responsible for defending against pollution, UV light, infection and locking in hydration. BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER is designed to protect and repair your skin’s natural barrier function, as well as replenish your topical microbiome.
- Much like our gut, everyday stressors actively impair our skin’s microbiome and barrier. This includes pollution, stress, over-washing and overloading the skin with too many active ingredients. BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER contains patented technology that is clinically proven to down-regulate redness signals induced by stressors.
- Most cleansers are too harsh for the skin as they use surfactants (foaming agents) that strip the oil from the skin, leaving it tight, dehydrated and imbalanced. Our skin is naturally slightly acidic (around pH 4.5) but foaming cleansers are usually very alkaline (around pH 7 or 8) which creates a breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria, upsetting our topical microbiome. BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER mimics the natural acidic state of our skin, whilst using hyaluronic acid and calendula to hydrate and soothe.
