How Does Natural Elements Skincare Help Strengthen the Skin Barrier?
Our plant oils and extracts are rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants that replenish your skin’s lipid layer. This supports the barrier function, locking in moisture and protecting against environmental stress.
Our skin barrier strengthening products are formulated with natural ingredients that specifically support and reinforce the skin barrier.
How Our Products Help Strengthen the Skin Barrier
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs): Especially omega-3 and omega-6, which lock in moisture, protect against irritants, and reduce inflammation.
Amino Acids: Support the production of collagen and elastin, vital for skin strength and elasticity.
Sterols: Lipid molecules that reinforce the skin barrier, providing deep hydration and protecting against moisture loss.
Lecithin: Acts as a natural moisturiser and emollient, improving skin texture and supporting the absorption of other active ingredients.
Vitamins A, C, D, and E: Promote cell regeneration, repair, and protection from environmental stressors.
Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA): An omega-6 fatty acid that reduces inflammation, enhances moisture retention, and supports healing and repair.
Which Natural Elements Products Help with Dryness and Flaking?
Our Nourishing Moisturiser and Antioxidant Hydrating Facial Oil are customer favourites for relieving dry, flaky skin. Rich in omega oils and vitamins, they deeply hydrate without clogging pores.
