Water Lock

$ 36.00

The world's first light, matte, skin-plumping "slugging" balm.

Water Lock is built to be the impossible combination of two total opposites:

An impenetrable protective barrier that’s also breathable and light and with a soft velvety finish.

It simultaneously serves as the perfect light daily moisturizer and rich night cream or slugging balm. 

Our Lab Team mixed a hand-picked selection of occlusive (i.e., water-sealing) molecules of various weights and shapes. These hydrophobic ingredients chain together in a complex, beautiful mesh, allowing airflow but not water escape.

This formula locks water into place and creates a dome-like barrier over the skin for better performance from your favorite anti-aging or rejuvenating skincare ingredients. 

It’s a totally different experience than the common “slugging” occlusive ingredients like petrolatum or lanolin, which are so heavy and thick that they can actually encourage bacteria proliferation underneath their greasy shield.
