PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Adaptogen Biomimetic Barrier Cream is a slow-aging innovation whose lamellar structure is inspired by the DMS principle of medical barrier creams (DMS = Derma-Membrane-Structure). It strengthens the skin barrier and lastingly repairs a damaged skin barrier – developed for the most sensitive and demanding skin.
Based on phosphatidylcholine and skin-identical lipids, the biomimetic barrier cream mimics the lamellar structure of the skin. This special structure delivers active ingredients exactly where they are needed. Vitamin F, squalane and ceramides thus seamlessly integrate and rebuild the skin barrier from within.
Powerful adaptogens such as Tremella mushroom as a plant-based hyaluronic alternative provide intense moisture, while saffron, aloe vera and bisabolol soothe sensitive skin, protect against environmental influences and smooth fine lines. Rich yet creamy-light, this cream for sensitive skin provides long-lasting moisture and leaves a velvety-soft finish. The result: optimally nourished, resilient skin in healthy balance.
Dermatologically tested on sensitive skin by Dermatest and rated "very good".
Volume: 50 ml
PRODUCT DETAILS
PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (HYDROGENATED PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE)
Phosphatidylcholine is a natural component of our cell membranes and the key ingredient in our biomimetic formulation. It spontaneously forms lamellar structures that resemble the lipid layers of the skin barrier. This allows the cream to literally merge with the skin and transport active ingredients exactly where they are needed. This principle is known in medical skin care as DMS (Derma Membrane Structure).
VITAMIN F (LINOLEIC ACID, OLEIC ACID & LINOLENIC ACID)
Vitamin F is a collective term for essential fatty acids that the body cannot produce itself. The skin needs them to form ceramides and keep the skin barrier intact. A lack of Vitamin F often manifests as dryness, flakiness, and increased sensitivity. In our Barrier Cream, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and linolenic acid provide precisely these building blocks.
Ceramides
Ceramides are skin's own fats (lipids) that also occur naturally in the skin and act as a protective building block for the skin barrier: they help retain moisture in the skin, strengthen its protective function, and ensure that the skin remains supple and resilient.
Saffron
Saffron is considered one of the world's most valuable plant extracts. It protects the skin from oxidative stress, has anti-inflammatory properties, effectively brightens dark discolorations, and can prevent collagen breakdown.
Squalane
Squalane from sustainably grown organic sugar cane intensely nourishes the skin, improves its moisture balance, and gives it incredible suppleness. Clinical studies have confirmed that the squalane we use promotes a healthy microbiome and a strong skin barrier.
Silver Ear Mushroom
Extract from the silver ear mushroom acts like a plant-based form of hyaluronic acid and supports the skin in moisture retention. Studies show that Tremella can store up to 500 times more water than hyaluronic acid relative to its molecular size.
Vitamin F
Vitamin F is a collective term for essential fatty acids that the body cannot produce itself. The skin needs them to form ceramides and keep the skin barrier intact. A lack of Vitamin F often manifests as dryness, flakiness, and increased sensitivity. In our Barrier Cream, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and linolenic acid provide precisely these building blocks.

APPLICATION
Ideally, use our Longevity Exosome Cream in the evening. At night, the skin's natural repair and regeneration processes run at full speed — and this is precisely where the longevity approach comes in. The rich, creamy texture optimally accompanies the skin through this recovery phase, supporting it in regenerating and strengthening itself. If needed, you can also apply the cream during the day.
- Cleanse your skin thoroughly.
- Then apply a hazelnut-sized amount of the cream evenly to your face, neck, and décolleté and gently massage it in. The cream can be used directly after cleansing and also works as a standalone moisturizer.
If you'd like to incorporate it into your existing skincare routine, follow the "lightest to heaviest" principle: apply the Longevity Exosome Cream after lighter, hydrating products such as our toner or hyaluronic serum, and use your oil serum afterwards.

What makes our Barrier Cream special?
REPAIRS & STRENGTHENS THE SKIN BARRIER FROM WITHIN
The biomimetic formulation based on the DMS principle (Derma-Membrane-Structure) of medical barrier creams relies on phosphatidylcholine, which naturally forms lamellar structures. This allows the cream to seamlessly integrate into the skin barrier and repair it where it truly matters.
SKIN-IDENTICAL LIPIDS FOR A STRONG BARRIER
Vitamin F, ceramides, and bio-based squalane mirror the skin's natural lipids. They embed into the damaged skin barrier and rebuild it sustainably.
POWERFUL ADAPTOGENS CALM & PROTECT
Snow mushroom, as a plant-based alternative to hyaluronic acid, delivers intensive moisture and smooths fine lines. Organic saffron, organic aloe vera, and bisabolol soothe sensitive skin and protect against environmental stressors.
RICH YET CREAMY-LIGHT
The cream nourishes intensively without weighing skin down. Bio-based squalane and organic plum kernel oil provide long-lasting nourishment and leave a velvety-soft finish.
DEVELOPED FOR THE MOST SENSITIVE SKIN
Dermatest rating "Very Good" for sensitive skin — dermatologically tested and formulated to be gentle on skin.
NATURALLY ORGANIC & GENTLE ON SKIN
Free from essential oils, drying alcohols, and fragrances for maximum skin compatibility.
Naturally effective ingredients of the highest quality
Inspired by centuries-old skincare rituals
and state-of-the-art dermatological research.
PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE
Phosphatidylcholine is a natural component of our cell membranes and the key ingredient in our biomimetic formulation. It spontaneously forms lamellar structures that resemble the lipid layers of the skin barrier.

SAFFRON (ORGANIC)
Saffron is considered one of the most valuable plant extracts in the world. It protects the skin from oxidative stress, has anti-inflammatory properties, effectively brightens dark discolorations, and can prevent collagen degradation.
SQUALANE (BIO-BASED)
Squalane from sustainably grown organic sugarcane intensely nourishes the skin, improves its moisture balance, and gives it incredible suppleness. Clinical studies have confirmed that the squalane we use promotes a healthy microbiome and a strong skin barrier.
TREMELLA FOLIACEA
Extracts from the Tremella mushroom act like a plant-based form of hyaluronic acid and help the skin retain moisture. Studies show that Tremella can store up to 500 times more water than hyaluronic acid relative to its molecular size.
VITAMIN F
Vitamin F is a collective term for essential fatty acids that the body cannot produce itself. The skin needs them to form ceramides and to keep the skin barrier intact. A deficiency in Vitamin F often manifests as dryness, flaking, and increased sensitivity. In our Barrier Cream, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and linolenic acid provide exactly these building blocks.
Founder's Note:
In über zwei Jahren Entwicklung ist uns etwas ganz Besonderes gelungen: eine Barriere Creme, die Innovation und echte Naturkosmetik vereint wie kaum eine andere. Ihre hautidentische Struktur nach dem DMS-Prinzip (Derma-Membran-Struktur) aus der medizinischen Hautpflege verschmilzt mit der Hautbarriere, statt nur obenauf zu liegen; hautidentische Lipide und kraftvolle Adaptogene stärken (und reparieren!) sie nachhaltig von innen. Für mich die ideale Pflege für empfindlichste, beanspruchte und trockene Haut.
Sie nährt die Haut intensiv über den ganzen Tag, schenkt ihr ein spürbar geschmeidiges Gefühl und ist ideal als Grundlage für Sonnencreme und Make-up – genau das, was ich mir von einer Barriere Creme immer gewünscht habe.
Viel Freude damit,
X Britta

What is the DMS principle?
DMS stands for Derma-Membrane Structure and is a principle from medical skincare. DMS formulations rely on phosphatidylcholine, a natural building block of our cell membranes.
This naturally forms so-called lamellar structures: parallel lipid layers that are constructed in the same way as the skin's protective layers. This allows the cream to seamlessly integrate into the skin barrier instead of just remaining on the surface.
What are lamellar structures?
The skin barrier does not consist of a single layer of fat, but of many thin lipid layers that lie parallel on top of each other.
You can imagine it like puff pastry: layer by layer, they retain moisture in the skin and keep harmful substances out. Our Barrier Cream imitates precisely this structure.
The advantage: The cream merges with the skin barrier instead of just sitting “on top.” Active ingredients reach where they are actually needed, and the skin barrier is repaired from within.

Frequently asked questions about the product
Was unterscheidet die Adaptogen Biomimetic Barrier Cream von anderen (Barriere-) Cremes?
Der wichtigste Unterschied liegt in ihrer Struktur. Unsere Adaptogen Biomimetic Barrier Cream ist nach dem Derma-Membran-Struktur-Prinzip (DMS) aus der medizinischen bzw. dermatologischen Hautpflege formuliert.
Auf Basis von Phosphatidylcholin, einem natürlichen Bestandteil unserer Zellmembranen, bildet sie von selbst sogenannte lamellare Strukturen – das sind viele dünne Lipidschichten, die parallel übereinanderliegen, ähnlich wie bei Blätterteig.
Genau so ist auch die natürliche Hautbarriere aufgebaut. Dadurch verschmilzt die Creme förmlich mit der Haut, statt nur obenauf zu liegen, und bringt ihre Wirkstoffe genau dorthin, wo sie gebraucht werden.
Warum ist unsere Barriere Creme besonders gut geeignet, um eine geschwächte Hautbarriere zu reparieren?
Weil sie der Haut genau die Bausteine zurückgibt, die ihr bei einer geschwächten Barriere fehlen. Hautidentische Lipide wie Vitamin F (Linol-, Öl- und Linolensäure), Ceramide und bio-basiertes Squalan entsprechen den natürlichen Lipiden der Haut.
Sie lagern sich in die geschwächte Barriere ein und bauen sie nachhaltig wieder auf. Durch die lamellare Struktur gelangen diese Lipide dorthin, wo sie wirken sollen und nicht nur an die Oberfläche. So unterstützt die Creme die Haut dabei, Feuchtigkeit besser zu speichern und widerstandsfähiger gegenüber Umwelteinflüssen zu werden.
Was sind Adaptogene und was bewirken sie in der Barrier Creme?
Adaptogene sind pflanzliche Wirkstoffe, die die Haut dabei unterstützen, mit äußeren Belastungen besser umzugehen. In unserer Barrier Cream spendet der Silberohr-Pilz (Tremella) als pflanzliche Hyaluron-Alternative intensive Feuchtigkeit und glättet feine Linien. Bio-Safran, Bio-Aloe-Vera und Bisabolol beruhigen sensible Haut und schützen sie vor Umwelteinflüssen.
Ist die Barriere Creme natürlich und vegan?
Ja. Die Creme ist naturkosmetisch formuliert, zu 99,9% natürlichen Ursprungs, enthält 67% Bio-Inhaltsstoffe, ist vegan und tierleidfrei sowie nicht komedogen. Sie kommt ohne ätherische Öle, austrocknende Alkohole und Duftstoffe aus.
Die Formulierung vereint hautidentische, evidenzbasierte Wirkstoffe mit hochwertigen Bio-Inhaltsstoffen – ganz im Sinne unseres Anspruchs: mehr Wirkung, ohne Kompromisse bei Natürlichkeit und Reinheit.
Wie wende ich die Adaptogen Biomimetic Barrier Cream an?
Trage die Creme morgens und/oder abends auf die gereinigte Haut auf und massiere sie sanft ein. Sie eignet sich auch ideal als nährende Grundlage unter Sonnencreme und Make-up.
Wie kombiniere ich die Barrier Cream mit anderen ruhi-Produkten?
Die Barrier Cream kann morgens und abends angewendet werden. Sie ist leicht, gleichzeitig reichhaltig und nährt die Haut den ganzen Tag.
Folge bei der Kombination dem Prinzip „von leicht zu reichhaltig":
Trage die Barrier Cream nach leichten, hydratisierenden Produkten wie unserem Toner auf und verwende dein Öl-Serum erst im Anschluss. Besonders morgens entfaltet sie ihre Stärke als nährende Grundlage unter der Sonnencreme oder unter dem Make-up.
Für wen ist die Barriere Creme geeignet?
Die Adaptogen Biomimetic Barrier Cream ist speziell für empfindlichste, trockene und anspruchsvolle Haut entwickelt.
Die Formulierung ist frei von ätherischen Ölen, austrocknenden Alkoholen und Duftstoffen und daher optimal verträglich für sensible Haut. Reichhaltig und doch sahnig-leicht eignet sie sich auch für Haut, die zu Spannungsgefühl, Trockenheit oder Rötungen neigt. Unsere Barrier Cream wurde zudem von Dermatest dermatologisch an sensibler Haut getestet und mit „sehr gut“ bewertet.
UNSER TIPP: Wir empfehlen grundsätzlich, ein neues Hautpflege-Produkt zuerst auf einer kleinen Hautstelle zu testen, bevor du es in deine Routine integrierst.
