All about the skin’s barrier
When skin is in a state of stress, the protective barrier plays a vital role in reducing its reactivity. A weakened skin barrier is prone to trans‑epidermal water‑loss, which means that the skin is not able to retain water that helps transport vital nutrients. Visible dryness, redness and roughness are all signs that skin’s protective barrier may be vulnerable and not functioning properly. When left unaddressed, these precursors can lead to visible signs of skin‑ageing. With the COMFORTING BARRIER ESSENCE, SENSAI focuses on the concerns of dryness, redness and roughness.
Keratin Moisture Blooming Technology
Keratin is an assembly of fibrous proteins, that support skin hydration. Exposure to daily external stressors can cause the skin’s keratin fibres to become rigid and tough, losing their capacity to attract and retain moisture. The essence’s formula uses our unique technology to help restore elasticity to keratin fibres as they regain their natural capacity to retain moisture and return to their centre of equilibrium.
