Rooibos Barrier Cream 50ml
Resque Rooibos Barrier Cream is a soothing, protective skin cream designed to help support and maintain the skin’s natural barrier while providing comfort to dry, irritated and sensitive skin. Inspired by traditional barrier creams, this formulation combines protective moisturising ingredients with the calming properties of Rooibos to help nurture and protect compromised skin.
The cream forms a breathable, waterproof protective layer over the skin, helping to shield it from environmental stressors, moisture loss, friction and everyday irritation while supporting skin comfort and hydration.
Skin barrier explained
The skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin that acts as a protective shield, helping to retain moisture, block out irritants, bacteria or pollution and maintain healthy, balanced skin.
- Apply to clean, dry skin in a thin and even layer.
- Use on affected or sensitive areas.
- Best applied as the final step to seal and protect the skin.
