Oskia Rest Day Barrier Repair Balm — Intensive Protection for Dry, Damaged & Microbiome-Depleted Skin
Product Story
Formulated for skin at its most compromised — dry, stressed, barrier-depleted — this rich yet non-greasy balm delivers immediate occlusive protection alongside deep, ingredient-led restoration. The Bio-Mimetic Nutri-Barrier Complex works in concert with Colloidal Oats, Oat Ceramides and Probiotic actives to calm inflammation, seal in moisture and actively rebuild the microbiome. The result is a matte, weightless-feeling shield that transforms reactive, tight or environmentally-damaged skin into something noticeably calmer, softer and more resilient.

How To Use
- FOR USE : Apply a small amount to clean damp skin as and where required. For best results either use alone after misting to lock in moisture or on top of a serum or moisturiser as the last layer in your routine. Equally effective on face and body, especially dry patches such as elbows and knees. This balm will leave a protective matte barrier on skin's surface.

- Anyone seeking a rich balm to lock in moisture and calm reactive or sensitised skin after stress or treatment
