Barrier Magic Facial Oil – GLA-Rich Camellia & Arctic Blackcurrant with Bakuchiol (1.5%)
£18.00
Barrier Magic is a lightweight, GLA-rich facial oil made with cold-pressed Camellia and Arctic Blackcurrant Seed Oils, delivering essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and 6) to repair the skin’s lipid barrier and lock in deep hydration. Infused with a potent 1.5% Bakuchiol concentration, it smooths fine lines, firms the skin, and remains gentle enough for all skin types.
Barrier Magic is a lightweight, GLA-rich facial oil developed to strengthen, nourish and restore a compromised skin barrier — the foundational layer responsible for locking in moisture and defending against environmental stressors.
The Formulation
Camellia Seed Oil — Rich in oleic acid, this lightweight emollient absorbs rapidly without occluding the skin. It closely mirrors the skin’s own sebum composition, making it exceptionally well-tolerated across all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone.
Arctic Blackcurrant Seed Oil — One of the few botanical oils naturally high in both gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). GLA plays a direct role in maintaining the skin’s lipid barrier structure, with deficiencies strongly associated with impaired barrier function, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and inflammatory skin conditions.
Bakuchiol (1.5%) — A plant-based retinol functional analogue, clinically shown to upregulate collagen synthesis, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines — with significantly lower irritation than conventional retinoids. Suitable for morning and evening use.
Apply 2–4 drops to clean, slightly damp skin, morning or evening.
Gently press into the face and neck using upward motions.
Use as the final step in your skincare routine to lock in hydration and support the skin barrier.
Formulated for: Sensitive · Reactive · Mature · Barrier-compromised · All skin types
Contains no synthetic fragrance. Suitable for rosacea-prone, eczema-prone, and post-procedure skin.

I cannot rate this shop highly enough, the seller Nina is wonderful and the customer service she provides is excellent. I asked for the ingredients list for the face cream (which is wonderful!), and she quickly replied with the full list. She also included some samples with the full ingredients in my package, as well as a lovely handy tote bag. What a fantastic shop! I’ll definitely be back for more 🥰Thank you!

I have sensitive sun damaged skin and needed something hydrating. I cant use retinol as it makes me break out but this oil is perfect. My skin looks really pampered and healthy.
