"barrier support system"

LIPIDS ... LIPIDS ... LIPIDS

The main ingredients that are found in the "barrier support system" are skin-identical, plant-based lipids. What are lipids? They are fatty compounds produced by our skin that perform a variety of functions. They are the MAIN components of your skin barrier; they provide  STRUCTURE and PROTECTION.

CERAMIDES ... CHOLESTEROL .. FATTY ACIDS

These are our structural lipids, which help to BUILD our skin barrier. Our dead skin cells become like "bricks" on a house and these lipids are the "mortar" that holds them together. This gives our skin the strength to keep water IN and bad stuff OUT.

When these lipids start to decrease with age, we loose our strong skin structure and our barrier becomes weak, This allows water to leak out. causing dehydration, sagging and flaky skin. This also opens up the opportunity for bacteria to invade, which causes redness and irritation. 

SQUALENE ... WAXY ESTERS ... TRIGLYCERIDES ... & MORE

These are our sebum lipids. Our skin produces these lipids to guard our skin barrier by acting as a PROTECTIVE LAYER. Sebum "locks-in" hydration and offers antioxidant protection through our skin's production of vitamin E and COQ10.

Again, as we age, our sebum production starts to decline, and we lose our PROTECTION. Our skin becomes vulnerable to moisture loss and environmental stressors. This causes lines, wrinkles, redness/irritation and oxidation that leads to unwanted pigmentation. 

As early as our 20s. SQUALENE starts to dwindle, our 30s CERAMIDES start to decrease, 40s start our decline of FATTY ACIDS and by the time we hit our 50s and menopause, we have lost nearly 60% of our lipid production. THIS MEANS WE HAVE LOST OUR STRONG SKIN STRUCTURE AND PROTECTION! 

So, what can we do to stop this thief of lipids? Simply REPLACE them! By using the "barrier support system" you can easily RESTORE these missing lipids with skin-identical lipids made from the power of plants!
