Stratia in the UK: Our Guide to the Range

Stratia is known for intelligent, barrier-first skincare with a refreshingly calm ingredient philosophy, and its Lipid Gold moisturiser has earned a devoted following. It can be hard to find in the UK. This is our guide to the Stratia pieces we stock at Glow Trend, what each one does best, and how to put them together.

Why Stratia

Stratia formulates around the skin's moisture barrier, often using the same lipids the barrier is built from: ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids. Its formulas favour hydrating humectants, peptides and skin-supporting vitamins over anything that might provoke a reaction, and the brand keeps its products free of common irritants such as fragrance, alcohol and essential oils. The result is a compact, considered range that suits skin that wants strength and comfort above all. Like everything in our edit, each Stratia product was researched and tested before we chose to stock it.

Lipid Gold

The brand's signature moisturiser. Lipid Gold is formulated with ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids, the three main components of skin's moisture barrier, to keep the complexion healthy, clear and resilient. It is the one piece we would suggest to anyone starting with Stratia, and it slots into almost any routine. Shop Lipid Gold

Lipid Gold Eye Cream

All the thinking of Lipid Gold, adapted for the delicate eye area with higher levels of ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids. Algae extract and chrysin target the look of dark circles, two peptides including palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 support firmness, and occlusives help lock in moisture. A nourishing choice for under-eyes that look tired or feel thin. Shop Lipid Gold Eye Cream

Interface Peptide Cream

A modern daily moisturiser with seven peptides to hydrate, firm and repair with each use. Licorice root extract, pro-vitamin B5, rosehip seed oil and hyaluronic acid round out a luxurious formula that melts in quickly to a comfortable finish. Choose it when you want your moisturiser to do a little more for firmness. Shop Interface

Aqua Factory Hydrating Toner

An invisible, weightless layer of all-day hydration. Aqua Factory combines 5% urea, a 4% beta-glucan complex and a blend of seven humectants to hydrate, smooth and soothe while encouraging skin repair. Skin is left bouncy, with a stronger barrier to show for it. Shop Aqua Factory

Rewind Firming Serum

A lightweight, fast-absorbing essence rich in vitamins. DMAE helps firm and tighten skin throughout the day, while niacinamide helps fade dark spots and encourage cell turnover. Rewind is the step to add when firmness and a more even tone are the priority. Shop Rewind

Velvet Cleansing Milk

A creamy, non-foaming cleanser that lifts makeup, dirt and grime without disturbing the barrier. A water-soluble form of olive oil leaves skin clean but never stripped, making it a gentle start to both morning and evening routines. Shop Velvet Cleansing Milk

Building a Stratia routine

Cleanse with Velvet Cleansing Milk, then pat Aqua Factory into skin while it is still slightly damp. Follow with Rewind if firmness and dark spots are on your mind. Finish with Lipid Gold for barrier care, or Interface if you want peptides in your moisturiser, and tap Lipid Gold Eye Cream around the eyes. In the morning, add SPF as your final step.
