LIVE BOTANICAL – Sanctuary Barrier Balm is an expertly crafted, essential oil-free formula that effectively locks in moisture with nutrient-rich raw butters and oils, plant-based waxes, sterols, and phospholipids. This unique blend is specifically designed to provide a protective sanctuary for dry, sensitive skin.
Please note that due to the natural ingredients, the butters may melt during transit, but this will not affect the effectiveness of the product. What makes this balm stand out is the inclusion of unrefined, oil-based phospholipids. When applied on damp skin, it creates a skin-identical barrier that enhances the absorption of active ingredients and maintains hydration throughout the day. Additionally, it serves as a gentle emulsifier, making it ideal for use with water-based serums without compromising the skin’s lipid barrier.
How to use: Apply as the final layer in your skincare routine. For best results, ensure the skin is damp/hydrated to improve moisture function. It can also be used as a restorative night mask by applying a thicker layer, allowing a slow absorption while you sleep.
During warmer months or when not as dry, mix in your palm with a hydrating serum to create a day cream for a lighter application.
We find this best paired with the Ambient Moisture Liquid for increased hydration.
