5 reasons to love Barie Powder

amazing exfoliating treatment with carrier oil (Hoba), Rosehip or other oils

great add-on (booster) to a luxurious facial masque with Argil clay

gentle & deeply moisturizing exfoliator

helps to smooth and plump-up skin naturally

perfect for mature and moisture-deprived skin

One powerful ingredient

Barie powder is pretty much Barie in powdery, exfoliating form. It does not smell and has texture of coffee grounds when added to the clay masque. It also adds tons of moisture and helps remove those dead skin cells even better.

It is a bit hard to use Barie Powder by itself because it does not stick to skin and does not mix well with water, but it makes a perfect add-on to a clay masque or a great exfoliant with a few drops of oil.

Sourcing & Production

Barie powder resulted from an incredible discovery we made while cold-pressing Barie (prickly pear cactus seed) oil. It happens so that about 50% of the oil stays in the pressed core and it would have been a waste if this collagen-boosting goodness was not used.

So, we mill pressed core left from the oil pressing to fine powder, heat it up just enough to make sure any possibility of contamination is eliminated and package it for you to enjoy.

All you need to know about Poudre de Barie

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

All below elements occur naturally in Barie. Some beauty products are chemically infused with fatty acids and list below acids as ingredients, as they are not good for you and for your skin. Our skin cells are smart and love good stuff and are able to differentiate between natural and synthetic and react much better to the naturally-derived micro-elements.

Barie is packed with Vitamin E. To obtain optimal health benefits from vitamin E, a mixture of tocopherols (Vitamine E compounds) - (alpha, beta, delta, and gamma) and tocotrienols (alpha, beta, delta, and gamma) are required.Barie consists of the following combination of highly potent Vitamin E compounds and fatty acids: alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocopherols and fatty acids - Linoleic, Palmitic, Oleic, and Stearic. Some of the functions of these vitamin E fractions are similar while others are completely different. When taken together, these various forms of vitamin E work synergistically as a team to provide maximum benefits.

Tocopherols (Vitamin E compounds):

13.9% Alpha-Tocopherol is a type of vitamin E. It has E number "E307". Vitamin E exists in eight different forms, four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. All feature a chromane ring, with a hydroxyl group that can donate a hydrogen atom to reduce free radicals and a hydrophobic side chain which allows for penetration into biological membranes. Compared to the others, α-tocopherol is preferentially absorbed and accumulated in humans. Alpha-Tocopherol is most powerful of tocopherols or Vitamin E (most powerful natural antioxidant).

81.9% Gamma-Tocopherol has a unique function. Because of its different chemical structure, gamma-tocopherol scavenges reactive nitrogen species, which, like reactive oxygen species, can damage proteins, lipids, and DNA. While alpha tocopherol inhibits the production of new free radicals, gamma tocopherol is required to trap and neutralize existing free radicals.It is now recognized that gamma tocopherol, like alpha tocopherol, is retained in the body and delivered to tissues. Gamma tocopherol has superior anti-inflammatory and gene regulatory activities, while alphatocopherol remains a potent antioxidant.

3.0% Beta-Tocopherol is less powerful antioxidant than Alpha and Gamma, but critical for the combination of antioxidant elements necessary to provide full benefit for your skin.

1.2% Delta-Tocopherol – another antioxidant, important for the combination and efficacy of the other ones that are part of Barie composition.

Fatty Acids:

73.4% Linoleic acid – is a fatty acid, and a very popular ingredient in beauty products due to its beneficial properties for skin. Linoleic acid is used as topical applications to prevent/fight inflammation, treat acne, and for moisture retention. However, chemically reproduced linoleic acid does not provide the same benefits and does not get same wonderful response from the skin cells as the natural, 100% active linoleic acid in Barie.

 

12.0% Palmitic acid is a fatty acid that helps reinforce skin’s healthy barrier function for a smoother surface; as we age, we can lose over half of this body lipid, which is quite necessary to maintain healthy skin.

 

8.8% Oleic acid is an Omega 9 fatty acid, which is a powerful antioxidant; it also helps strengthen cell membrane and repair cell and tissue damage. Topical application of oil that contains oleic acid produces soft, supple skin that glows with health. You can grow thicker and stronger hair when you treat it with prickly seed oil or other oils that contain oleic acid.

 

5.8% Stearic acidStearic acid helps skin retain moisture and stay flexible while helping with skin damage repair.

Masque add-on: to give powerful clay masque a collagen-boosting, extra exfoliating and moisturizing punch, add Barie Powder to Argil clay powder 1:1 and then add water to mix. Massage skin gently to exfoliate and also to boost blood circulation, which is great to promote cell rejuvenation.

STORAGE & WARNINGS

Storage

Masque add-on: to give powerful clay masque a collagen-boosting, extra exfoliating and moisturizing punch, add Barie Powder to Argil clay powder 1:1 and then add water to mix. Massage skin gently to exfoliate and also to boost blood circulation, which is great to promote cell rejuvenation.

Shelf life

Barie powder is a fruit seed powder. It is not as stable Barie oil and is definitely more perishable. Please use your Barie powder within a year or sooner. 

Warning

Just like Barie (prickly pear castus seed) oil, its powder is very rich in Vitamin E. If anyone has reaction to topical application of Vitamin E, should not use it. 

Barie powder is also more coarse than some other types of exfoliants and we do not recommend using it (to avoid over-exfoliation) after chemical peels, waxing or any procedures that leave skin more vulnarable. Always use gentle massage movements to exfoliate with Barie powder.

Berie Reviews

Worth it!

I recently tried this with the Argil mask and it’s so worth trying out! You barely need any to mix with the Argil so it’s going to last a while. As someone with eczema that was pretty much always there, I’d been so cautious to exfoliate at home. Couldn’t believe it when I removed the mask and there was zero irritation, only a glow. If you have rosacea or eczema, I really swear by this.

A few months ago I started trying out Katari, and eczma that I was dealing with for years is practically gone now.

Products that complement Barie Powder

Barie powder is pretty much Barie oil in powdery, exfoliating form. It does not smell and has texture of coffee grounds when added to the Argil clay masque. It also adds tons of moisture and helps remove those dead skin cells even better. Why not use it by itself then, if it is so cool? Well, Barie powder mixed with water is very hard to apply to skin - it does not stick. Clay mixed in with it provides the necessary texture. And Barie powder provides a punch of anti-aging and collagen-boosting properties. And if you prefer a gentle oil exfoliant, mix a few drops of Rosehip Oil with a pinch of Barie Powder and massage into skin.
