Lipid Gold

Lipid Gold is a lightweight barrier lotion formulated with ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids, the three main components of the skin's moisture barrier. Designed to mirror that natural barrier, it helps keep skin looking healthy, clear and resilient, leaving it smoother, bouncier and more comfortable. Its cream-serum texture absorbs easily, and its golden colour comes from sea buckthorn oil. Like every Stratia product, it is free of fragrance, alcohol and essential oils.

Best for

All skin types, especially sensitive or dehydrated skin and complexions that look tired. Normal to oily skin may find it is all the moisturiser needed, while very dry skin can layer a richer cream on top.

How to use

Smooth one to two pumps over clean skin twice daily, or as often as you like. The yellow tint is non-staining and usually disappears as it is massaged in. On very pale skin it may leave a brief warm tint, so you may prefer to use it in the evening. As with any new skincare, a patch test is recommended.

Key ingredients

Ceramides NP, AP and EOP work alongside cholesterol to support the skin barrier. Niacinamide helps skin look more even and balanced, and helps reduce the look of dark spots. Sea buckthorn oil, rich in antioxidants and phytosterols, joins rosehip oil, squalane, panthenol and hyaluronic acid to keep skin nourished, hydrated and supple.
