Marie Veronique Body Barrier Emulsion

Oil-cream hybrid formula for the body that boosts ceramides, protects the microbiome, and provides exceptional hydration for total skin health / 8 oz 

Marie Veronique Body Barrier Emulsion is a thrilling creation that we think of as a “Barrier Restore Serum for the body.” (It’s not just us: Marie Veronique created it because so many customers were asking for exactly that.)

Like Barrier Restore Serum, Body Barrier Emulsion boasts an innovative formula that’s deeply moisturizing without using heavy occlusives. Its objective: improve barrier function to enhance skin’s innate ability to balance its levels of hydration and moisture, while at the same time encouraging a happier microbiome – and, thus, healthier skin. As Marie has put it, it’s “the one body product you need to take care of your skin, leaving you free to get on with the other important things in your life.”

Incredibly, despite a blissfully brief ingredient listing, Body Barrier Emulsion has got it all:
– A powerful probiotic to improve the biosynthesis of ceramides, which naturally decline with age (leading to barrier dysfunction and dryness)
– An interesting food-based emulsifier that works with the probiotic to promote microbial balance (fun fact: it’s also found in high-end chocolate, underscoring our belief that chocolate is a health food)
– A potent humectant, gluconolactone, that draws water to the skin while acting as a natural preservative
– Omega-6-rich safflower oil, infused with calendula from Marie’s farm, to soothe skin while locking in hydration

And the best part of this product, in our view, might be its unique texture. An oil/cream hybrid that’s not quite like anything else we’ve tried, its milky texture sinks into skin for breathable, lasting nourishment and highly effective protection against dryness. (Truly lasting: this product stays with you, in the best way possible.)

Bonus: it’s unscented, and its ingredients’ mild natural smell won’t get in the way of any fragrance you might apply on top — or any sensitive noses that might be near you. Plus, we love the glass bottle, reminiscent of the days that exist in our imaginations with curious clarity, when fresh, cold milk got dropped off on one’s doorstep in a beautifully eco-friendly, reusable glass container. Somehow, it only adds to the overall wholesomeness of this beautiful product.

It’s everything we never knew we needed from Marie Veronique, and it’s fabulous. Visit our blog for some pro tips from Marie’s Director of Skin Health, Kristina Holey, and Lead Esthetician, Eleanor Bagley, to get the most out of your bottle of Body Barrier Emulsion.
