Body Barrier Emulsion

Description

Marie Veronique Body Barrier Emulsion is a lightweight, oil-cream hybrid that offers breathable hydration and helps support the skin’s natural barrier. Suitable for all skin types, its silky, milky texture absorbs quickly to nourish dry or depleted skin without feeling heavy. This daily body treatment focuses on whole-body skin comfort and hydration.

The formula includes probiotic-rich streptococcus thermophilus, which contributes to ceramide production, gluconolactone to assist with maintaining water balance, and calendula-infused safflower oil known for its calming properties. A unique surfactant-emollient blend works alongside the probiotics to encourage microbial balance, improve skin texture, and provide lasting hydration and resilience.

HOW TO USE IT

Dispense a quarter-sized amount into palms and spread evenly over clean, damp skin, adding product as needed. May repeat as needed throughout the day especially to the areas of the body experiencing dryness, tightness, visible scars, crepiness and redness.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

Marie Veronique is a California-based skincare brand specializing in small-batch, microbiome-friendly formulations that support long-term skin health. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Berkeley, Marie Veronique combines multidisciplinary research with a commitment to clean chemistry, offering topical solutions for all skin types and tones. With a particular emphasis on the science of age delay, the brand creates products that address a range of skin conditions—including dryness, congestion, and sensitivity—by working with, not against, the skin’s natural intelligence.

The brand was founded by Marie-Veronique Nadeau, a former chemistry teacher and licensed esthetician, whose passion for skin health grew out of a personal search for better aging solutions. Today, the brand is recognized for its evidence-led formulations, thoughtful ingredient sourcing, and transparent production practices. All products are made in-house at their Berkeley lab, ensuring freshness, efficacy, and integrity at every step. Marie Veronique also prioritizes sustainability by using recyclable packaging, minimizing waste in production, and supporting suppliers who share their commitment to environmental responsibility. As a woman-founded and woman-led company, Marie Veronique also champions equity and access by supporting initiatives that empower underrepresented voices in science and wellness.
