Marie Veronique’s Body Barrier Emulsion is a reimagining of body moisture: an oil-cream hybrid that supports the skin’s barrier function with intelligent hydration, probiotic balance, and age-delay nourishment from head to toe. This lightweight, breathable emulsion is crafted to restore skin resilience by boosting ceramide production through Streptococcus thermophilus, a probiotic that enhances the skin’s lipid matrix via the ASMase pathway. Gluconolactone, a gentle polyhydroxy acid, provides lasting hydration while offering mild exfoliation, and polyglyceryl polyricinoleate, a novel food-based surfactant, improves barrier integrity while supporting microbial diversity. Infused with calendula grown on Marie Veronique’s Northern California farm, this formula soothes dry, reactive skin while restoring softness and suppleness. Free of occlusives yet deeply nourishing, the Body Barrier Emulsion is a daily ritual for anyone seeking whole-body care that’s as replenishing as it is reparative...honoring the skin as a living, breathing ecosystem worthy of intelligent, plant-powered support.

Founded in Berkeley, California in 2002, Marie Veronique is a pioneering voice in clean, microbiome-friendly skincare: crafting small-batch, science-forward formulas that honor the skin’s innate intelligence. With a deep respect for biology, their ethos is rooted in the belief that skin doesn’t need fixing...it needs support. Each creation is the result of rigorous research and cross-disciplinary wisdom, drawing from biomedicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and holistic health to create topicals that are not only effective but profoundly thoughtful. Co-founded by chemist Marie Veronique Nadeau and guided by a mission to tell the truth in an industry riddled with misinformation, the brand has become a trusted leader among estheticians, practitioners, and conscious consumers alike. Sustainability and integrity are central to their practice - from glass bottles and reduced packaging to long-standing partnerships with like-minded suppliers. Every product reflects their dedication to the health of both skin and planet. Female-founded and led, the team behind Marie Veronique includes skin health educator Kristina Holey and visionary co-founder Kristy-Moore Jeffress, who together continue to shift the paradigm toward skincare that is ethical, effective, and radically honest.
