The BARRIER Bioactive Face Mist for Barrier Support + Hyaluronic Acid

Mist · 30 ingredients

A hydrating face mist formulated to support and strengthen the skin's moisture barrier, making it well suited for dry, sensitive, or redness-prone skin. A postbiotic ferment works to nurture the microbiome and improve the look of skin vitality, while ectoin—an amino acid derivative—helps calm, hydrate, and build resilience. A biotech-derived biopolymer forms an invisible, breathable film over the skin, acting as a physical shield against environmental aggressors and pollutants.
