Barrier Lipid Complex

Marie Veronique Barrier Lipid Complex is a restorative skin treatment designed to support the integrity of the skin’s natural barrier. By replenishing essential lipids, it helps maintain hydration and supports a balanced skin environment. Regular use can help skin feel smoother, more resilient, and better equipped to retain moisture.

The formula combines ceramides, cholesterol, and biomimetic fatty acids in ratios similar to the skin’s natural lipids, supporting barrier structure and overall skin health. Additional components like phosphatidyl serine and eicosapentaenoic acid help reinforce barrier function and hydration. Together, these ingredients promote a well-nourished, balanced, and comfortable skin appearance.

HOW TO USE IT

Apply 1–2 pumps to the face, neck, and chest morning and evening after serums. Gently smooth the product into the skin until fully absorbed. Follow with the next steps in a skincare routine as desired. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and use within 6 months of opening.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

Marie Veronique is a California-based skincare brand specializing in small-batch, microbiome-friendly formulations that support long-term skin health. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Berkeley, Marie Veronique combines multidisciplinary research with a commitment to clean chemistry, offering topical solutions for all skin types and tones. With a particular emphasis on the science of age delay, the brand creates products that address a range of skin conditions—including dryness, congestion, and sensitivity—by working with, not against, the skin’s natural intelligence.

The brand was founded by Marie-Veronique Nadeau, a former chemistry teacher and licensed esthetician, whose passion for skin health grew out of a personal search for better aging solutions. Today, the brand is recognized for its evidence-led formulations, thoughtful ingredient sourcing, and transparent production practices. All products are made in-house at their Berkeley lab, ensuring freshness, efficacy, and integrity at every step. Marie Veronique also prioritizes sustainability by using recyclable packaging, minimizing waste in production, and supporting suppliers who share their commitment to environmental responsibility. As a woman-founded and woman-led company, Marie Veronique also champions equity and access by supporting initiatives that empower underrepresented voices in science and wellness.
