Experience the calming power of our Cucumber + Aloe Vera Barrier-Balance Moisturizer, a replenishing cream created to support the needs of normal, combination, and sensitive skin — especially when your barrier feels a little off balance.
This lightweight, hydrating formula is crafted to deliver long-lasting moisture, support barrier health, and reduce visible signs of stress or irritation. With a silky, fast-absorbing texture, it provides just the right amount of nourishment — never greasy or heavy — leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth, and resilient.
Infused with skin-loving actives like pro-vitamin B5, ceramides, quinoa protein, and tremella mushroom extract, this moisturizer deeply hydrates, strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, and soothes inflammation. Cooling cucumber, calming aloe, and a subtle natural scent from cucumber seed oil create a refreshing daily ritual for sensitive skin.
Our Cucumber & Aloe Vera Moisturizer was updated summer 2025. The main differences in previous and current formula are as follows:
Now Essential Oil-Free for Sensitive Skin: The updated formula skips all essential oils, making it even more gentle and safe for sensitive or reactive skin types.
More Breathable, Lightweight Feel: The addition of silky plant-based esters like hemisqualane and coco caprylate gives this version a smoother, faster-absorbing texture that feels light and fresh on the skin.
Upgraded Barrier Support: Powered by ceramides, tremella mushroom, and quinoa protein, the new version offers enhanced barrier repair and protection from moisture loss — perfect for calming and strengthening stressed skin.
Balanced Botanical Lipids: Swaps heavier oils like mango butter and safflower for more refined, fast-absorbing lipids like cucumber seed oil, squalane, and babassu to nourish without greasiness.
Streamlined for Performance: The updated formula removes extras like banana and chamomile extracts in favour of clinically backed actives with focused skin benefits.
Improved Stability & Freshness: The use of Geogard Ultra as a preservative system offers more reliable broad-spectrum protection, especially in hydrating water-based formulas.
Cucumber at Every Level: The refreshing benefits of cucumber are now delivered through cucumber glycerite, seed oil, and botanical extract — hydrating, soothing, and antioxidant-rich.
Still Silky, Now Smarter: The creamy texture remains, but the feel and function are more refined — easier to layer, quicker to absorb, and even better for daily wear under makeup or sunscreen.
The Benefits
Strengthens & Fortifies the Skin Barrier: Ceramides, quinoa protein, and pro-vitamin B5 work together to repair and reinforce the skin’s protective barrier, boosting resilience and reducing sensitivity.
Delivers Lightweight, Long-Lasting Hydration: Tremella mushroom and panthenol act as natural humectants, drawing moisture into the skin and locking it in for a healthy, dewy glow.
Soothes Inflammation & Calms Discomfort: Aloe vera, cucumber seed oil, and allantoin help reduce redness and irritation, making this an ideal moisturizer for sensitized or reactive skin.
Application
Directions: To clean skin, apply a peanut-size amount morning and/or night after mist or serum (if applicable). For best protection, follow with a few drops of face oil or balm

The Layering Ritual
General rule of thumb | Apply your skincare from lightest to heaviest — start with water-based products like mists, toners, and serums, and finish with richer, oil-based products like face oils and balms. This helps each layer absorb properly and work more effectively, whether your routine has two steps or ten.
Not sure where to start ? Use the information below to see where this product fits into a skincare regimen, and other products you can supplement it with.
Step 1:
Cleanse
Start with a gentle cleanser to lift away impurities, sunscreen, and daily buildup without disrupting your skin’s barrier. Plant-based surfactants and soothing extracts help leave skin feeling soft, not stripped.
Hydrating mists and toners deliver an immediate dose of moisture from humectants (water-trapping ingredients) while helping to rebalance the skin after cleansing. This step preps your skin to better absorb the next layers.
Complete your ritual with these Hydrating Mists or Toners:
Serums are concentrated with active ingredients like antioxidants, botanical extracts, or peptides to target specific skin concerns like dryness or uneven skin tone. Their lightweight, water-based formulas penetrate quickly for visible results.
Complete your ritual with these Water-based Serums:
After cleansing the skin, use a clean, dry finger to scoop an almond-size amount of lotion out of the jar. Apply to the face using a gentle circular motion and upward strokes. Take a moment to breath in the refreshing natural aroma. Use morning and night or as needed.
Step 5:
Protect
Facial oils are waterless products that contain nourishing lipids, essential fatty acids, and protective antioxidants. They help seal in moisture, support barrier function, and give skin a healthy, radiant finish.
Mineral sunscreens create a physical or chemical shield to protect against UV rays, premature aging, and sun damage. Always apply as the final step in your morning routine.
Step 7:
Renew
Incorporate a mask or gentle exfoliant once or twice a week to revitalize the skin. Ingredients like clays, fruit enzymes, or finely milled grains help clear congestion, brighten dullness, and boost overall glow.
