Yes. Both products were made for skin that reacts easily.

+ Barrier NPR+ is a water-free balm with 15% non-nano zinc oxide, colloidal oatmeal and ceramide NP. It sits on the skin as a protective layer over dry, uncomfortable areas. In independent patch testing on 126 adults, including people with self-reported sensitive skin, it showed 0 reactions.*
+ Barrier Reset Spray has just four ingredients, with no fragrance and no added preservatives. It dries clear, so it’s easy to mist over skin that feels hot or tight.

Salvida products are cosmetics. They’re designed to help skin look and feel calmer and more comfortable, not to treat or cure eczema or any other skin condition. If your skin is broken, weeping or getting worse, please check in with your GP or dermatologist.

As with any new skincare, we recommend a patch test before first use.

*Repeat Insult Patch Test and 14-day cumulative irritancy test, 2024, by accredited independent laboratories. Barrier Reset Spray is new and was not part of this testing.

Our 30-day Skin-Friendly Promise covers orders delivered within Australia. International orders may attract customs fees or import taxes in your country, which aren't included in your order total. You'll receive tracking details as soon as your order ships. For other countries, see our shipping policy.

We stand by our skin-friendly guarantee. If your skin has a reaction (due to an uncommon allergy), we’ll refund what you paid for the product, minus shipping costs incurred on our behalf. Simply reach out within 30 days of receiving your order.

This promise applies to orders delivered within Australia. We heavily subsidise international shipping and the cost of returning products from overseas makes it unfeasible to extend the promise to international orders.

Please note: this promise is not a cure claim. Skin health is influenced by many factors including nutrition, hydration, stress and lifestyle. Topical products are only one piece of the puzzle.

Spray first, balm second. Mist Barrier Reset over clean skin and let it dry clear, then apply Barrier NPR+ to dry or uncomfortable areas. You can re-mist throughout the day, including over the balm.

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a molecule your body's own immune cells produce. In skincare it's used as a gentle, fragrance-free mist. Barrier Reset Spray contains 150 ppm hypochlorous acid in a four-ingredient formula, with no fragrance and no added preservatives.

Yes. Barrier NPR+ is safe to use on both the face and body.

As facial skin can be more delicate, we recommend applying sparingly to begin with. A little goes a long way.

As with any new skincare product, patch testing is advised, especially if your skin is highly sensitive or reactive.

How to patch test
Apply a small amount of product to a discreet area of skin (we suggest the inner forearm) and observe the area over the next 24 to 48 hours.

Patch testing helps you understand how your skin responds before applying a product more broadly and is especially important for sensitive, reactive skin.

Our ultra-gentle formulas are backed by extensive independent clinical studies on sensitive skin, along with plenty of real-life use on our own “guinea-kids”. That’s what gives us confidence that little ones truly love our products.

As with any skincare, we recommend carefully reading the ingredient list, checking for known allergies and patch testing before first use.

A gentle note for parents:
If a skincare formula contains food-based ingredients, it’s best to wait until your child has been introduced to those foods during weaning before applying them topically. Some research suggests that early skin exposure to certain food ingredients may be linked to the development of sensitivities.

Yes. Barrier NPR+ and Barrier Reset Spray are both fragrance-free and free from the ingredients most commonly advised against in pregnancy, such as retinoids, hydroquinone, high-strength salicylic acid and essential oils.

+ Barrier NPR+ is a gentle option for patches that feel dry, rough or itchy.
+ Barrier Reset Spray has just four ingredients and dries clear, so it’s easy to mist over skin that feels hot or tight.

If you have any concerns, check with your GP, midwife or obstetrician.

Many people choose zinc-rich products for wet or weepy-looking areas because of the protective layer they provide. However, oozing, increasing pain, warmth, swelling, fever, yellow crusting or a sudden deterioration may indicate infection and requires prompt medical advice.

We choose not to formulate with ingredients that are commonly associated with skin irritation or sensitivity. This includes silicones, sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, drying alcohols, fragrance, steroids and essential oils.

Instead, we focus on barrier-friendly, clinically tested ingredients that help skin feel soothed, hydrated and protected, supporting the skin as it moves through its own natural repair and recovery process.

Barrier NPR+ is completely water-free, eliminating the need for preservatives, since bacteria, mould and yeast require water to thrive. This anhydrous formula also delivers superior performance, creating a more effective occlusive barrier compared to traditional balms.

Barrier NPR+ was not formulated to hydrate the skin.

In a 2024 independent, third-party clinical study conducted by Eurofins*, Barrier NPR+ showed no statistically significant change in skin hydration levels following application. This means it does not function as a moisturiser or hydrator.

Instead, Barrier NPR+ is designed to support and protect the skin. Its role is to help soothe and calm compromised skin, support the skin barrier, reduce the appearance of visible redness, smooth rough or bumpy areas and help shield the skin from environmental stressors and triggers.

*2024 Third-Party Clinical Study: Assessment of hydration levels and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) after a single application, measured via instrumental analysis (Eurofins Study Report Ref: 24-0746/0).

At Salvida, we don’t rely on assumptions or anecdotes. We rely on science. Every claim we make is backed by independent, third-party clinical testing.

In 2024, Barrier NPR+ underwent Repeat Insult Patch Testing and 14-day cumulative irritancy testing conducted by accredited, independent research facilities.

These studies involved 126 participants aged 18 to 70, all of whom reported having sensitive skin.

The results showed:
+ 100% of participants experienced no irritation or reaction (MDIS score of 0)
+ 100% of results demonstrated skin compatibility equivalent to distilled water
+ 100% of testing was conducted independently by accredited third-party laboratories

These outcomes indicate that Barrier NPR+ is exceptionally gentle and well tolerated, even on sensitive or compromised skin barriers.

That said, everyone’s skin is unique. We always recommend performing a patch test before first use.

Our commitment is simple: thoughtful formulation, transparent claims and science-backed reassurance you can trust.
