All skin concerns

Sensitive or dry?
Start with the barrier.

Skin that stings, flushes or feels tight is usually skin whose barrier is letting too much out and too much in. Support the barrier and everything else gets easier.

Sensitive or dry?Start with the barrier.

What's happening in your skin

Defences are down

A compromised barrier lets irritants and allergens through, so more things feel like triggers

Water is escaping

When the barrier cannot hold moisture in, dryness and tightness follow quickly

Nerves sit closer to the action

With less protection, nerve endings react sooner, with stinging, burning and itching

Value first

What helps, starting today.

Four habits that make a real difference for sensitive and dry skin, whatever you put in your routine.

Tip 1

Cleanse gently, once a day

Harsh or repeated cleansing strips the oils your barrier is built from. Choose mild, fragrance-free cleansers.

Tip 2

Moisturise damp skin, morning and night

Consistency beats quantity. Applying to damp skin locks in more water.

Tip 3

Mind the extremes

Heating, air conditioning and hot showers all pull moisture from skin. Shorter showers and a humidifier help.

Tip 4

Introduce one product at a time

Patch test new products and add them one by one, so triggers have nowhere to hide.

General guidance only. If irritation persists, check in with your health professional.

Inside the skin barrier

Healthy barrier

Corneocytes sit tight and the mortar between them stays rich in ceramides. Triggers are turned away at the surface and water stays where skin needs it.

Compromised barrier

Cells shrink and gaps open up. Allergens and microbes can pass through more easily, and water escapes through the gaps.

  • Corneocytes (stratum corneum)
  • Ceramides in the lipid mortar
  • Keratinocytes
  • Allergens
  • Bacteria, viruses & pollutants

Beyond ordinary moisturisers

What makes
B-Restore™ different?

A barrier cream, not a cover-up.

Many moisturizers work by sitting on top of skin with a petroleum-based film, creating a temporary barrier that wears off by the end of the day. B-Restore takes a different approach, using a natural alternative to petrochemicals that supports skin's own barrier function from two angles, the physical lipid layer and the skin microbiome.

The formulation is 98% natural and naturally derived, EWG Verified®, vegan and microbiome friendly, with no added fragrance, no parabens and no harsh preservatives.

Hold moisture in

Hold moisture in

Clinically tested to reduce trans-epidermal water loss, with moisturisation that lasts a full 24 hours.

Meet your skin barrier

A thin layer,
doing a lot of work.

Your skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin. It holds water in, keeps irritants out, and sets how reactive your skin feels day to day. Look after it and it looks after you.

Defends against irritants

Defends against irritants

An intact barrier limits how much of the outside world reaches the living skin underneath, so everyday triggers feel less like threats.

Helps hold moisture

Helps hold moisture

The barrier slows how fast water evaporates from skin, which is what keeps it supple rather than tight and flaking.

Keeps skin in balance

Keeps skin in balance

When the barrier is compromised, skin tends to react more easily. Gentle, consistent care helps keep it steady.
