Vital Lipid Lotion, quite simply, contains everything the skin barrier requires to repair and defend against future damage. No amount of anti-aging ingredients will be of value if the skin barrier is not healthy first. Vital Lipid is particularly unique in that it doesn’t contain traditional emulsifiers which can be a source of irritation to sensitive or health-challenged skin. The lipid composition mirrors those naturally produced in a healthy skin barrier in order to replenish moisture, prevent water loss and defend against environmental toxins.
