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. In this way, the cream virtually merges with the skin and can transport active ingredients precisely where they are needed. This principle is known in medical skincare as DMS (Derma Membrane Structure).

CERAMIDE

Ceramides are natural skin fats (lipids) that also occur naturally in the skin and act like a protective building block of the skin barrier: They help retain moisture in the skin, strengthen its protective function, and ensure that the skin remains supple and resilient.

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

What distinguishes the Adaptogen Biomimetic Barrier Cream from other (barrier) creams?

The most important difference lies in its structure. Our Adaptogen Biomimetic Barrier Cream is formulated according to the Derma Membrane Structure (DMS) principle from medical and dermatological skincare.

Based on phosphatidylcholine, a natural component of our cell membranes, it spontaneously forms so-called lamellar structures—many thin lipid layers lying parallel to one another, similar to puff pastry.

This is exactly how the natural skin barrier is structured. As a result, the cream literally merges with the skin instead of just sitting on top, delivering its active ingredients exactly where they are needed.

Why is our barrier cream particularly well-suited for repairing a weakened skin barrier?

Because it gives the skin exactly the building blocks it's missing when its barrier is weakened. Skin-identical lipids such as vitamin F (linoleic, oleic and linolenic acid), ceramides and bio-based squalane match the skin's own natural lipids.

They integrate into the weakened barrier and rebuild it sustainably. Thanks to their lamellar structure, these lipids reach where they're actually needed rather than just sitting on the surface. This helps the skin retain moisture more effectively and become more resilient against environmental stressors.

What are adaptogens and what do they do in the barrier cream?

Adaptogens are plant-based active ingredients that help the skin cope better with external stressors. In our Barrier Cream, the snow fungus (Tremella) provides intensive moisture as a plant-based alternative to hyaluronic acid and smooths fine lines. Organic saffron, organic aloe vera, and bisabolol soothe sensitive skin and protect it against environmental influences.

Is the barrier cream natural and vegan?

Yes. The cream is formulated as natural cosmetics, is 99.9% of natural origin, contains 67% organic ingredients, is vegan and cruelty-free, and is non-comedogenic. It contains no essential oils, drying alcohols, or fragrances.

The formulation combines skin-identical, evidence-based active ingredients with high-quality organic ingredients – fully in line with our standard: more effectiveness, without compromising on naturalness and purity.

How do I apply the Adaptogen Biomimetic Barrier Cream?

Apply the cream in the morning and/or evening to cleansed skin and massage it in gently. It is also ideal as a nourishing base under sunscreen and 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.

Who is the barrier cream suitable for?

The Adaptogen Biomimetic Barrier Cream is specially developed for the most sensitive, dry, and demanding skin.

The formula is free from essential oils, drying alcohols, and fragrances, making it optimally tolerated by sensitive skin. Rich yet creamy and light, it is also suitable for skin prone to tightness, dryness, or redness. Our Barrier Cream has also been dermatologically tested by Dermatest on sensitive skin and rated "excellent."

OUR TIP:We generally recommend testing a new skincare product on a small area of skin before incorporating it into your routine.
