O3
Street-Level Ozone
Street-level ozone is the bad ozone at face level, formed when sunlight cooks vehicle exhaust into smog. It hits hardest around highways, tunnel exits, and hot city corridors in peak summer.
Ozone strips skin's antioxidant reserves and breaks down barrier lipids, leaving skin more vulnerable to wrinkles, redness, sensitivity, and weakened barrier function.
Build your barrierHow Barrier addresses it
Barrier is built around patented, award-winning, silicone-free Solésence Kleair™ Technology: a non-nano mineral shield that delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sun protection and pollution defense, paired with hyaluronic acid, sustainably-produced squalane, and organic jojoba oil. Ozone is a gas, so Barrier does not pretend to block it like a particle. It replenishes what ozone strips with supplemental antioxidants and vitamin E, helping your skin's own defenses last longer.
Replenish
Vitamin E support
Ozone consumes skin's natural antioxidants. Barrier adds sacrificial antioxidants that can oxidize before your own reserves do.
Neutralize
Antioxidant defense
The antioxidant complex helps intercept free radicals before they damage lipids, proteins, and skin cells.
Fortify
Barrier support
Hyaluronic acid, squalane, and organic jojoba oil support the skin's moisture barrier before exposure starts.
On a 90 degree summer day, ozone is silently stripping your skin's defenses. You need replacements.
