Have Nova, or want it?

With Nova.

Mist, let it dry, Nova, then Night Balm.

Before you pre-order.

When does it ship?

December, to US addresses. We email tracking when it leaves.

When am I charged?

Today. Cancel any time before it ships for a full refund.

Who is it for?

People living with eczema. It's skincare, not medicine: keep using what your doctor prescribed.

Can kids use it?

No fragrance, essential oils, botanical extracts, oat, nut, coconut, shea, soy or wheat. Ask their doctor first, then patch-test.

Do I need Nova?

No. BARRIER works on its own. With Nova, the evening goes Mist, Nova, then Night Balm.

These are skincare products, not medicines. Keep using anything your doctor prescribed. Results build over weeks, not days.
