High Desert Barrier Cream

High Desert Barrier Cream

A botanical barrier repair cream built on structured lipids, rice-derived ceramides, and bioregional plant extracts.

High Desert is formulated to hydrate and rebuild the skin’s lipid matrix.

Dryness, redness, over-exfoliation, and hormonal sensitivity are often signs of impaired barrier function. When the lipid layer is compromised, water escapes and inflammation increases. This formula focuses on restoring structural integrity at the barrier level.

Botanical Ingredients

All botanical extracts are herbalist made in-house.

Artemisia Tridentata (Sagebrush) Distillate
Clarifying and toning, antimicrobial and supports over-productive oil glands.

Sambucus Nigra (Elderflower) Extract
Traditionally used for calming and toning support.

Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract
Astringent and supportive to reactive skin states. Vulnerary action speeds wound healing and reduces redness.

Pinus edulis (Piñon) Extract
Resinous desert botanical with grounding aromatic properties. High in vitamin c.
