  • Calms sensitive skin and reduces irritation decreasing itchiness and discomfort

  • Supports healthy balance of skin Flora.  A functional barrier maintains the skin's microbiome, preventing dysbiosis and related issues like acne, rosacea, and infections.

  •  Improves the absorption and efficacy of topical treatments

  • Slows premature signs of aging by reducing oxidative damage. Protects the skin from UV damage, oxidative stress, and moisture loss, which contribute to premature aging and the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
