Resque Rooibos Barrier Cream 50ml


Sale priceR 189

Your skin feels protected, comforted and less prone to dryness as this breathable barrier cream helps lock in moisture and shield sensitive areas from everyday friction and irritation.

Your skin barrier is your skin’s natural protective shield. It helps lock in moisture, defend against everyday external stressors and keep skin feeling calm, comfortable and healthy-looking.

Use it on dry patches, areas prone to chafing or skin exposed to wind, cold or rubbing.

Zinc helps form a protective layer against moisture and irritation, while glycerine draws moisture into the skin to support hydration and softness. Rooibos provides antioxidant support to help comfort sensitive skin exposed to environmental stressors.

The rich, protective texture seals over the skin as the final step in your routine, helping support a compromised skin barrier without feeling heavy.

Key Ingredients
  • Rooibos, rich in antioxidants that helps calm sensitive skin and support protection against environmental stress.
  • Zinc, a protective mineral that helps form a physical barrier against moisture, friction and everyday irritation.
  • Lanolin, a deeply moisturising ingredient that helps soothe rough, dry and cracked skin while supporting barrier protection.
  • Pro-vitamin B5 soothes and hydrates the skin while supporting skin barrier function and softness.
  • Allantoin, known for its soothing and skin-conditioning properties that help support dry, sensitive and irritated skin.
How to use
  1. Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin on
    affected or friction-prone areas.
  2. Massage gently until a protective barrier forms
    over the skin.

Use: morning and evening, or as often as needed
when skin feels dry, irritated or sensitive. Reapply before friction, sports
activity or exposure to harsh weather conditions.

Tip: Reapply to high-friction areas such

is needed.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Resque Rooibos Barrier Cream before running or exercise?
Yes. Apply it to areas prone to chafing — such as thighs, underarms or feet — before physical activity to help reduce friction and irritation.
Is it suitable for babies and nappy care?
Yes. It can be used to help protect delicate skin from moisture and friction associated with nappy rash. A patch test is recommended for very sensitive or newborn skin.
Is this a daily moisturiser?
No. It is best used as a targeted protective treatment when skin feels compromised, irritated or exposed to friction — not as a regular all-over moisturiser.
Can I apply it over eczema-prone or very dry skin?
Yes. It is suitable for dry and eczema-prone skin and helps support the skin barrier by reducing moisture loss. You can also apply it over treatment products like Resque Crème to seal in moisture.
Does it protect against cold and windy weather?
Yes. The breathable barrier helps shield skin from dryness and discomfort caused by cold air, wind and other harsh environmental conditions.
