Barrier Balancing Moisturizer / Cacteen Balancing Moisturizer
Nourishing prickly pear cactus and calming bisabolol renew the look of beautiful skin. Formulated with humectants to enhance moisture and support the skin’s texture.
Product Update: Cacteen Balancing Moisturizer is now called Barrier Balancing Moisturizer. As we sell through our Cacteen Balancing Moisturizer inventory, you’ll start seeing the new Barrier Balancing Moisturizer name on packaging. Rest assured — the formula is exactly the same.
Why the change? The new name better reflects what this fan-favorite does best: support skin’s natural barrier while keeping it balanced, hydrated, and happy.
- Provides water/oil balance
- Soothes
- Excellent post peel care
Key Ingredients
- AquaCacteen™ (Opuntia Ficus-Indica (Cactus) Stem Extract) is rich in essential amino acids, antioxidants, and water-binding polysaccharides. It hydrates, smoothes, and protects the skin from environmental stress.
- Olivem® (Cetearyl Olivate, and Sorbitan Olivate) is a combination of fatty acids that restore and maintain the integrity of the skin barrier.
- Sodium Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid (PCA) is a component of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and has a very potent hydrating and moisturizing power. It is nonirritating and non-allergenic, and it is a humectant with moisture-binding ability.
- Bisabolol (L-Alpha) acts as an anti-inflammatory, promotes wound healing, reduces sensitivity, and alleviates heat while soothing skin irritation.
- Spin Trap (Phenyl t-Butylnitrone) entraps reactive oxygen species to restore proper chemical structure and spin to destructive molecules. It also limits lipid peroxidation and free radical damage.
- Phycocyanin is a natural blue pigment derived from spirulina, a blue-green algae, with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
Tips for Use
- Use a small, pea-sized amount daily morning and evening to hydrate the skin.
- Apply after cleansing and exfoliating/toning the skin.
- Avoid contact with eyes. Flush completely if contact occurs.
