NEW IN BOX Violette FR C'est La Cream, 93ml Use AM and PM on top of Boum-Boum Milk or just clean bare skin. Suitable for all skin types. Fragrance-free. What is a barrier cream, exactly? Barrier is shorthand for the skin’s lipid barrier—a natural layer of healthy fat, ceramides, and cholesterol that rests on the surface of our porous skin so that helpful things stay in and harmful things stay out. (It’s technically called the stratum corneum.) Unlike occlusive products such as petroleum jelly and silicones that just sit on skin, a good barrier cream has ingredients similar to barrier’s natural components so they can “nest” in. And, if you’re really lucky, it’s as satisfying to apply as it is supportive for your skin health. In other words, it’s C’est La Cream!
