Barrier Culture Cleanser

The soap and sulphate-free Barrier Culture Cleanser cleanses deep into the pores, regenerates the skin barrier, balances the pH value and enriches the microbiome with pre-, pro- and postbiotics.

Dirt, make-up and impurities are effortlessly removed without damaging or attacking the skin's natural protective barrier. The cleanser leaves a smooth and clean complexion. Suitable for all skin types, from sensitive to breakout prone and from oily to dry. No double cleansing required.

How does the Barrier Culture Cleanser work?

• Repairs and strengthens the skin barrier - More than 90% of all skin diseases can be traced back to a damaged skin barrier, the skin's natural immune system, which is responsible for protecting against pollution, UV light and infections and keeping the skin moisturized. The Barrier Culture Cleanser with pre-, pro- and postbiotics nourishes, protects and strengthens the skin's natural barrier function and replenishes the skin's microbiome.
• Reduces Redness, Sensitivity & Breakouts - Similar to our gut, everyday stressors actively impair our skin's microbiome and barrier. These include pollution, stress, excessive washing and overloading the skin with too many active ingredients. The The Nue Co. Cleanser contains patented technology that has been clinically proven to down-regulate redness signals triggered by stressors.
• Locks in moisture - Our skin is naturally slightly acidic (around pH 4,5), but foaming cleansers are often alkaline (around pH 7 or 8), which creates a breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria and disrupts our current microbiome. This cleanser mimics our skin's natural acidic state, while Hyaluronic Acid and Calendula moisturize and Chamomile fights inflammation and soothes skin.

Live bacteria are difficult to use in skin care because the cells are very fragile. The of The Nue Co. The method used stabilizes the bacteria so that our skin recognizes them as "alive" (and effective). This mimics the natural probiotic pathways to restore the skin's defenses and strengthen the skin barrier through fortified peptides and proteins.

The patented formula of The Nue Co. Reinigers has been tested to reduce pollution-related skin barrier damage by 45% (ex vivo) and improve skin hydration by reducing TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss) by 42% over 6,5 days (in vivo).

In the of The Nue Co. In an independent study of 45 participants who each used the Barrier Culture Cleanser and Barrier Culture Moisturizer for 6 weeks, the subjects reported the following results: 82% reported improved skin texture and tone, and 82% said their skin was better moisturized and 70% said their skin was less sensitive and irritated. 

Application

• Apply a few pumps to damp palms in the morning and evening, lather up and massage over the skin, including make-up.

Active ingredients

• Probiotics – Our skin is home to over 500 species of bacteria. Similar to our intestinal flora, they ensure the balance of our so-called skin microbiome, the living protective layer of the skin. The "good" bacteria, as they are also called, feed on fats, salts and dead horny cells and thus ensure the natural protection of our skin. The best-known probiotics are the lactobacilli (lactic acid bacteria), which are usually contained in cosmetics in creams or serums and thus help the skin to regenerate and become more resistant. 
• Prebiotics – In addition to the probiotics, the living organisms, there are also the prebiotics. These are "dead" substances that are obtained from natural products, mostly plants, and that support the probiotics in the formation of new good bacteria by providing them with important substances.
• Calendula / marigold (Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil / Extract) from the daisy family is particularly known for its anti-inflammatory, soothing and wound-healing properties. It also promotes collagen formation and helps to produce new tissue (an important process in wound healing) and carotenoids strengthen the skin's protective barrier. Very well tolerated, also suitable for baby skin. Secondary plant substances, the so-called flavonoids, have an antioxidant effect and protect the skin from damage that can be caused by free radicals.
• Inulin (inulin) is obtained (among other things) from chicory roots. Consisting of fructose polysaccharide, 100% vegetable, inulin is moisturizing and emollient. It has the ability to bind water in the skin tissue, thus maintaining hydration and a soft and silky touch. The skin is plumped up and moisturized.
• amino acids keep your skin supple. Due to their small size, they easily penetrate the skin and help transport moisture through the skin. They support the production of collagen and elastin and protect the skin from free radicals. Some amino acids act like antioxidants themselves, but most amino acids help the skin to produce its own antioxidants.
• Flower extract of real or Roman chamomile (Chamomilla Recutita Matricaria Extract / Anthemis Nobilis Flower) has a calming, relaxing, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effect. Impure skin benefits from its clarifying effect. Extracts of the plant stimulate the skin's metabolism and have a cell-regenerating effect. Very suitable for sensitive skin. Stressed scalps also benefit from the disinfecting and soothing properties and support hair growth.
