ongredients Skin Barrier Calming Lotion EX 220ml + 80ml
A lotion sized to be used, not saved.
220 ml with an 80 ml refill, and the last nine entries are all peptides.
Light, and it sinks without a film.
What this lotion does
A 220 ml lotion built on centella with a nine-peptide complex, Coptis root and jute leaf extracts, formulated for sensitive and very dry skin as a daily barrier step.
Reading the nine peptides honestly
Tripeptide-1, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Hexapeptide-9, Hexapeptide-11, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 close the list. That position means small quantities — which is normal for peptides, since they are used at fractions of a percent. Breadth here is a formulation stance, not a dose claim.
Key ingredients
Ingredient · What it is, and what it is used for
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- Extract of Centella asiatica, whole plant. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; used to pull in water and hold it.
- Coptis Japonica Root Extract
- Goldthread root extract. Used to calm the look of redness.
- Corchorus Olitorius Leaf Extract
- Extract of jute leaf.
- Daucus Carota Sativa Root Extract
- Extract of carrot root.
- Ilex Paraguariensis Leaf Extract
- Extract of yerba mate leaf.
- Borago Officinalis Extract
- Extract of borage.
- Copper Tripeptide-1
- Copper-bound tripeptide, GHK-Cu. Studied for the look of firmness.
- Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4
- Palmitoylated pentapeptide.
- Hexapeptide-9
- Synthetic hexapeptide.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Medium-chain triglyceride from coconut. Used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Glyceryl ester of stearic acid. Used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells; keeps oil and water from separating.
- Glycerin
- Polyol. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it.
How the formula works together
The base is deliberately plain: Glycerin and Propanediol for water, two light esters and Phenyl Trimethicone for slip, fatty alcohols and Glyceryl Stearate for body. Thirty-two ingredients total, and none of them are fragrance.
The botanical set carries the calming character — centella first, then Coptis, jute, carrot, yerba mate and borage. Peptides close it out. What is absent matters as much: no acid, no retinoid, no niacinamide, no essential oil. That is what makes it usable on skin that cannot tolerate much.
Who it is for
Labelled for sensitive and very dry skin, dermatologist-tested. No fragrance and no essential oil on the list.
How to use it
- Apply to damp skin after cleansing or toner.
- Use morning and night; the refill is there so you do not ration it.
- Layer a cream over the top in cold weather.
