Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions
What is barrier balm used for?
Barrier balm, like our Ultra Facial Barrier Balm with Squalane, is used to hydrate and strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier deeply. Barrier balms are particularly beneficial for individuals with dry or sensitive skin, as they help to replenish moisture and prevent moisture loss, leaving the skin feeling nourished and resilient.
Can I use makeup with the Ultra Facial Barrier Balm?
Yes, our stick face balm can be used under and over makeup. Allow it to absorb fully into the skin before applying any makeup products for optimal results.
What does Squalane do to the skin?
Squalane is a natural compound in the skin's lipid barrier. It can help replenish and strengthen the skin moisture barrier, improving hydration and moisture retention. It has emollient properties, meaning it helps to soften and visibly smooth the skin's surface, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Squalane also has antioxidant properties which can help protect the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV radiation, ultimately promoting overall skin health.
