The Skin Barrier & Microbiome: Why They Matter

BARRIER AND THE MICROBIOME AREN’T JUST BUZZWORDS. THEY’RE THE FOUNDATION OF HEALTHY, RESILIENT SKIN. AND THEY’RE AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO AT UNPLAIN. WHAT IS YOUR SKIN BARRIER?

 

 

Think of your skin barrier as your skin’s security system. It’s the outermost layer—designed to lock in moisture and keep out irritants, pollution, and other unwelcome guests.

When your barrier is working well, your skin feels hydrated, smooth, and calm. When it’s not? You might notice dryness, flaking, sensitivity, or breakouts. It's your skin's way of asking for support—not punishment.

 

UNPLAIN PAD


☒ Exfoliates gently with AHAs and glycolic acid (no harsh scrubs here).
☒ Hydrates with three types of hyaluronic acid, reaching different layers of the skin.
☒ Feeds the good bacteria with a prebiotic that supports your skin’s ecosystem.
☒ Soothes and strengthens with sourced patented ingredients like Skin Save® and Symcalmin®.
☒ Preps the skin so your oil (and everything else) works better.

UNPLAIN OIL


☒ Uses Fermented Oil Complex to break down nutrients into smaller, more absorbable molecules.
☒ Delivers a probiotic to reinforce the microbiome and reduce inflammation
☒ Strengthens the barrier by reducing TEWL (transepidermal water loss).
☒ Deeply hydrates without sitting on the surface or clogging pores.
