FAQ
What makes Léonie Barrier N° 1 different from other face oils?
Barrier N° 1 is designed specifically for sensitive and reactive skin. It blends biomimetic lipids, rare botanicals, and next-generation EctoinOil® to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, calm visible redness, and deliver long-lasting hydration—without heaviness or fragrance.
Can I use it if I’ve had trouble with face oils before?
Yes. The formula is non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and essential-oil-free, so it won’t clog pores or trigger irritation. Lightweight lipids like squalane and jojoba absorb quickly and mimic skin’s own balance.
When and how should I apply it?
Morning and night, press 3–5 drops onto clean, slightly damp skin. Use it on its own or layer under moisturizer and sunscreen.
Is it safe for acne-prone or rosacea-prone skin?
Yes. The oil was created with sensitive, acne-prone, and rosacea-prone skin in mind, featuring calming actives such as licorice, bisabolol, and Twinflower extract.
What is EctoinOil® and why is it important?
Ectoin is a natural extremolyte that helps living organisms survive in harsh environments. In its oil-soluble form, EctoinOil® shields skin from environmental stress, locks in moisture, and enhances barrier repair—bringing biotech innovation to a luxurious face oil.
How long will one bottle last?
Used twice daily, a 30 ml bottle typically lasts three to four months.
Can I use it with other skincare?
Absolutely. Barrier N° 1 layers well under serums, creams, or sunscreen and enhances the performance of your existing routine.
Is it vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. Léonie products are vegan, cruelty-free, and free of synthetic fragrance or essential oils.
Where is it made?
Each batch is small-batch blended in Canada, using fresh, cold-pressed oils sourced from trusted growers and suppliers.
How should I store it?
Keep the bottle closed and away from direct sunlight or high heat. The amber-frosted glass and built-in antioxidants (like rosemary extract and vitamin E) help maintain maximum freshness and potency.
