Key Ingredients:

Formulated Beyond Moisturization
More than a moisturizer. Colorescience Barrier Pro™ Essential Moisturizer nurtures healthy, youthful, and resilient skin to support your first line of defense, the barrier.

  • Tri-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid: A combination of three different molecular weight fractions of natural hyaluronic acid produced through fermentation. Multiple molecule weights enable penetration at various layers of the skin, providing hydration on the surface and into the layers of the epidermis.
  • Prickly Pear Cactus Extract: Rich in antioxidants (flavonoids), polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals which help to soothe, hydrate and protect sensitive skin.
  • Apple Fruit Extract: A humectant that provides emollient moisturization to soften skin and hydrate to support skin barrier health.
  • Snow Mushroom Extract (Also known also as Silver Ear Mushroom Extract): Significantly more hydrating than hyaluronic acid. Proven to provide immediate hydration and improve skin’s ability to retain moisture. Also provides antioxidant support to defend against premature skin aging.
  • Goji Berry Extract: Powerful antioxidant rich in phytonutrients, vitamins & trace minerals and composed of complex peptidoglycans (PGNs) that acts as a prebiotic by feeding the good bacteria.
  • Lactobacillus Ferment: Probiotic-like ferment created from probiotic bacteria, lactobacillus plantarum. Favors the beneficial bacteria while discouraging harmful bacteria. Under patented technology, rich in peptidoglycans (PGNs) and lipotechoic acid (LTA) which induce beta-defensins.
  • Squalane: High purity sugarcane-derived emollient helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles & fine lines while promoting skin brightness, moisturizing and barrier health. Provides postbiotic benefits to the skin’s microflora by creating an environment to promote diversity.
  • Crystalide™: Time-release bio-harmonical peptide that utilizes lipid carrier technology to exert holistic and optimized activity within the layers of skin to the surface. Increases moisturization and harmonizes skin's maturation and renewal process to smooth and even the skin's surface.
  • Vital ET™: This bio-available form of vitamin E, combining tocopherol phosphate with disodium lauryliminodipropianate, provides antioxidant support while helping to calm skin both prior to and following UV exposure.
  • Hydrolyzed Pea Protein: Improves skin's adaptive responses to increase protection from indoor and outdoor light damage.

FAQ:

What is the scent of Essential Moisturizer?

Essential Moisturizer was formulated to be fragrance free, meaning no added natural or synthetic fragrances were added. Therefore, any scent noted is inherently part of the raw materials, specifically the lactobacillus ferment and hydrolyzed pea protein. Most users note that this “base” scent dissipates upon application. This product has been tested for safety, stability and efficacy and is safe for use on the skin. For external use only -- keep out of eyes, nose and mouth.

How much Essential Moisturizer should I use at a time? How often?
