Skin Barrier

The skin barrier is comprised of several layers of skin cells, as well as lipids, such as ceramides, that help to prevent water loss and maintain hydration levels. When the skin barrier is compromised, it can lead to a variety of skincare concerns, including dryness, irritation, and inflammation.
