The Body Shop launches Vitamin E Barrier Boost Cream and you stand a chance to win

The Body Shop is bringing a dose of hydration to skin barriers this summer with a fresh addition to its best-selling Vitamin E range. The Vitamin E Barrier Boost Cream is the brand new addition to the best-selling Vitamin E range, clinically proven to deliver 100 hours of hydration.

The newly launched formula intensely hydrates, replenishes the skin’s natural moisture barrier, and is clinically proven to improve moisture levels by 97% in just 30 minutes.

The Vitamin E Barrier Boost Cream has an effortlessly lightweight, fast-absorbing yet rich texture, which leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and protected from dryness. Formulated with 95% natural-origin ingredients, including vitamin E, natural hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid and ceramides, it gives skin a plump, healthy-looking glow.

Our ingredients:

• Vitamin E from Raspberry Seed Oil: helps to maintain and protect the skin’s natural moisture barrier. It helps to protect against daily environmental aggressors too 

• Natural origin Hyaluronic acid produced through bio-fermentation: known to help retain moisture, and to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for healthy looking skin

• Natural origin Polyglutamic acid produced through bio-fermentation: a powerful humectant that helps moisturise skin by attracting water and then retaining it for ultimate hydration

• Ceramides: known to be essential lipids that help replenish the skin’s natural moisture barrier and to help protect against water loss and dryness.

Formulated to increase moisture levels and replenish the skin’s natural moisture barrier after just one use, the Vitamin E Barrier Boost Cream is the perfect solution for dry, extra dry, and even sensitive skin. Designed for daily use, the best results are achieved when it is applied after serum and before SPF, making for a seamless addition to a skincare lineup.

“More and more, we’re seeing people prioritise hydration over any other skincare need. The number of people reporting signs of skin sensitivity, from redness to dryness and tightness, has increased exponentially. The key to healthy-looking skin lies in replenishing the skin’s natural moisture barrier and our latest skincare innovation, The Vitamin E Barrier Boost Cream, is designed to do exactly that,” says Laura Keane, Product Marketing Director at The Body Shop. “We don’t want to overcomplicate things – it’s about finding a simple, long-term solution.”

The Vitamin E range is one of the brand’s most loved collections globally, the range of 11 products includes a bi-phase serum, moisturising gel cream, a gentle face wash, and an eye cream.  

Create the ultimate hydration routine with our Vitamin E range:​

• Start by cleansing with the Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash to remove impurities without drying out the skin.​
• Follow with the Vitamin E Bi-Phase Serum for an extra boost of hydration.​
• Lock it in with the Vitamin E Barrier Boost Cream.​
