Happier Barrier

What makes this product unique?

Unhealthy, damaged skin barrier links closely with persistent dryness, roughness and dullness, because of an imbalanced, imperfect lipid composition (think: mortal) among the skin cells (think: brick).

Geek & Gorgeous Happier Barrier replenishes high-quality mortal of lipids to the brick of skin cells. This rescuer features 3% L22® - an innovative blend of naturally-sourced, non-comedogenic lipids to properly balance wax esters, squalene, triglycerides, sterols and sterol esters – all of which are very essential for the best health of your skin barrier.

Not disremembering this also functions as a pro-moisturizer, on top of the superior barrier-rebuilding benefits, Happier Barrier quenches dehydration and mitigate cellular stress due to daily exposure to UV and pollution. Applying Happier Barrier means applying a buffet of nutrients – Ceramide 2, Squalane. Green Tea Extract, Bisabolol, Allantoin etc. for the most vibrant, healthy version of your skin’s most outermost layer.

All Geek & Gorgeous products are fragrance free, alcohol free and never tested on animals.
