Barrier Rescue Bar

Unscented

Pure relief for fragile, reactive skin.

A purpose-built, fragrance-free ritual bar for barrier-compromised skin. Plantain leaf and calendula infusions team up with colloidal oats, kaolin, and non-nano zinc oxide to calm visible redness, ease itch, and protect your moisture barrier — without the squeaky, tight feel.

Overview

Designed for ultra-sensitive, barrier-stressed skin (including eczema-prone). This bar creates a creamy, non-stripping cleanse that visibly soothes and protects while you wash. No fragrance. No essential oils. Just comfort.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Unscented, spa-soft cleanse — zero fragrance or EO
  • Colloidal oats + calendula calm visible redness and itch
  • Plantain leaf infusion supports skin’s natural repair
  • Non-nano zinc oxide adds mineral comfort and protection
  • Kaolin refines gently without drying or tugging

Best For

  • Reactive, easily irritated, or eczema-prone skin
  • Barrier-compromised areas needing a fragrance-free routine
  • Daily face + body use where gentleness is non-negotiable

Key Actives & Infusions

  • Plantago major (Plantain Leaf) – soothing, encourages visible repair
  • Calendula officinalis (Calendula) – calms irritation; supports recovery
  • Avena sativa (Colloidal Oats) – beta-glucans reduce itch, protect hydration
  • Kaolin (White Clay) – soft refinement without stripping
  • Non-nano Zinc Oxide – mineral comfort that helps quiet redness
  • Sodium Lactate – humectant that improves post-rinse comfort
  • Tocopherol (Vitamin E) – antioxidant support and silky glide

Infusion Note: Plantain leaf and calendula are slow-infused into castor oil so their soothing compounds disperse in the oil phase — giving a smooth, non-gritty lather that actually comforts while it cleanses.

The Science

The barrier, in plain English: Your outer layer (stratum corneum) is a “brick-and-mortar” wall of cells and lipids. When it’s disrupted, water escapes (higher TEWL), and everyday triggers — heat, fabrics, even water — feel harsher. The fastest way back to comfort is reducing TEWL and calming inflammatory signals while cleansing gently.

How this bar helps during the wash step:

  • Colloidal Oats: Beta-glucans create a light, breathable film that holds water at the surface and quiets itch sensations. This reduces that tight, post-wash feel.
  • Calendula: Rich in triterpenoids and flavonoids that soothe visible redness and support barrier repair — ideal when skin is touchy.
  • Plantain Leaf: Traditionally used on minor irritations; its allantoin-like constituents help skin look calmer and more resilient.
  • Non-nano Zinc Oxide: Sits on skin as a mineral buffer; it doesn’t need to penetrate to help. It reflects and deflects everyday irritants while lending a calming sensation.
  • Kaolin + True Soap Matrix: Kaolin binds excess oils and residues via mild adsorption, so skin feels clean without stripping lipids your barrier needs.

Bottom line: By pairing film-formers (oats), soothing botanicals (plantain, calendula), and a mineral buffer (zinc), this bar reduces water loss and irritation triggers — right in the cleanse — so skin exits the shower more comfortable than it entered.

How to Use

Lather gently in warm water and sweep across face or body. Let the creamy lather hug the skin, then rinse and pat dry.

User Tips for Best Results

  • Leave lather on 30–60 seconds for extra soothing.
  • Pat dry (don’t rub) to protect the barrier and reduce TEWL.
  • Pair with a simple, fragrance-free moisturizer on reactive areas.
  • Let the bar dry between uses to prolong life.
