Incorporating occlusive ingredients can help you achieve plump, hydrated, and radiant skin. An occlusive ingredient, such as a balm, can also help to make your products more effective. Occlusives form a barrier that increases moisture retention and helps to hold active ingredients on the skin.

Healing your skin barrier is all about nourishment and balance. If you suffer from chronic sensitivity or are dealing with trial-and-error remedies with no results, you may have a compromised skin barrier.
