Barrier Lipid Complex

Barrier Lipid Complex
Unlike oil blends that are composed solely of various combinations of free fatty acids (most of the oil blends on the market) this lipid blend contains the right mix of lipids found in the epidermal lipid barrier; ceramides (50%), cholesterol (25%) and fatty acids (25%). Supplying the correct lipids in the correct ratios achieves the very essence of skin moisturizing.

Restorative CERAMIDES + FATTY ACIDS + CHOLESTEROL rebuild barrier lipid integrity. Moisturize at a profound level.

1oz | 30ml

Epidermal lipids are an essential part of the skin’s stratum corneum. Therefore the most effective lipids for maintaining skin health are those most identical to the epidermal lipids: ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids.

These lipids also make up about 50% of cell membranes, and can be damaged due to a process called lipid peroxidation, as well as exposure to internal and external stressors.

Intercellular lipid damage compromises barrier function, which can lead to transepidermal water loss. TEWL can result in dryness, irritation and wrinkles. Therefore it’s evident that lipids are an integral part of skin health, and key to a well-functioning barrier system. The essence of skin moisturizing is lipid replacement, best accomplished by applying the relevant lipids.

BENEFITS

Ceramides maintain youthful, plump, well-hydrated skin.

Cholesterol lubricates surface layers, delivering an emollient + creamy texture to moisturize profoundly, without risk of irritation or breakouts.

Biomemetic fatty acids balance skin’s oil ratio without essential oils to disrupt barrier lipid balance or threaten its microbiome.

INGREDIENTS

CERAMIDES Lipid molecules within cell membranes, they help cells form a protective layer that plumps skin and retains moisture.

CHOLESTEROL An important barrier lipid, it has water-binding properties and is crucial to maintaining proper barrier function.

FATTY ACIDS Polyunsaturated fats crucial to proper barrier function, examples are: Cranberry Seed oil, Black Raspberry seed oil, Chia seed oil, prickly pear seed oil, evening primrose oil.

PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE A phospholipid that is an important (though small) component of the lipid barrier. Some studies show topical application slows wrinkling by inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen.

EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID A vegan alternative (from algae oil) to the hard-to-get type of Omega-3 (EPA) found in fatty fish.

    I recently switched from a well known skin care line to Marie v anti aging products including Barrier lipid Comlex

    I am know free from breakouts and my skin has never felt healthier. The smell is a but like burning fire wood but I find it relaxing and it does fade after putting on the other products!

    The Best Oil with even better packaging!

    I have loved this oil (and used it religiously) since you came out with it. I sing it’s praises to anyone who asks about my skin but I was thrilled to find it’s new and improved packaging on my last order. It looks the same but it now has an added leak proof barrier inside. I didn’t even know to ask for such a thing but MV has done it again. Brilliant improvement. Thank you! No leaks when I take it on the road with me now.

    Great deep mosturizer

    I had a histamine reaction that left my skin red and inflamed and then completely dehydrated, breaking the lipid barrier. This complex helped to completely restore the lips barrier and rehydrate my skin.

    Unsure

    I sort of like it as it does make comfort my skin but it sometimes feels a bit too heavy. I usually alternate with daily protective oil.
