What it does

The reparative formula nourishes skin with glucosyl ceramides, beta-sitosterols, and zinc and copper salt minerals to encourage the natural synthesis of healthy collagen, vital lipids, and hyaluronic acid in skin, promoting elasticity, soothing skin, and supporting healthy barrier function. Bora Barrier™ delivers powerful moisture, firming skin and reducing visible redness while returning your skin barrier to a healthy state.

    Mix Bora Barrier into your skincare smoothie for long-lasting, barrier-supportive moisture.

  • Tip 3

    Mix Bora Barrier with Wonderwild for an ultra-buttery, supercharged reparative treatment that can be used anywhere to soothe dry, chapped, sensitized skin.

    A NOTE

    Recently, we've been asked for a richer, more reparative moisturizer, and I kept thinking of how skin might feel after a laser treatment or a ski trip or how skin with age-related dryness always feels.
    Meet Bora Barrier Repair Cream, a heavy hitter for chronically dry skin, a compromised barrier, and mature skin that can't retain moisture on its own. It’s loaded with lipids, minerals, ceramides, and antioxidant compounds, so it delivers deep, absorbable moisture that lasts 24 hours, reducing redness and firming skin while returning it to a healthy, bouncy, and youthful state.
