How to Use

Barrier NPR+ is an ultra-nourishing, concentrated balm - just a little goes a long way.


Warm a small amount between hands until it melts, then apply as needed.

For optimal skin barrier support, apply a thin layer as often as needed.

Barrier NPR+ is water-free, so it won’t directly hydrate the skin. If you’re caring for eczema-prone skin, we recommend pairing Barrier NPR+ with Bodyguard for both barrier support and hydration.

Barrier NPR+ helps calm red, itchy and irritated-feeling skin, giving flare-prone areas a more settled, comfortable feel.

Once the skin has settled, Bodyguard is essential for hydrating skin that may look dry, dehydrated or flaky, as well as providing ongoing moisture to help keep the barrier feeling healthy and supported.

Both products are available in the Rebuild Your Barrier Bundle.

Note: Barrier NPR+ is 100% water free. Small waxy beads or slight oil separation may appear - this is completely normal and won’t affect the product's efficacy.

Patch test before use.

Storage Instructions
Please store Barrier NPR+ and Bodyguard between 15°C and 25°C. Because our formulations are predominantly oil-based, exposure to cold temperatures or sudden temperature changes may cause the natural oils to crystallise, resulting in a grainy texture. This does not affect the quality or performance of the product, but it may alter its appearance and feel. For best results, store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.

HRIPT: 6-Week Clinical Trial

Barrier NPR+ successfully completed a 6-week HRIPT (Human Repeat Insult Patch Test) conducted under the supervision of a board-certified dermatologist with 56 participants. Results confirmed the formula to be non-irritating and non-sensitising – the gold standard for skin safety testing, with not a single participant experiencing evidence of irritation or sensitisation.

Your Barrier NPR+ questions, answered.

Why is the formula anhydrous (water-free)?

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.

Water-free formulations are scientifically backed as the best option for active eczema care. In fact, the National Eczema Association recommends anhydrous formulas for their ability to provide lasting protection and hydration without irritation.

How can I use Barrier NPR+?

Barrier NPR+ is your everyday barrier balm - ready for whatever the day throws at you!

While its ultra-nourishing formula is perfect for soothing dry, irritated + itchy skin, its uses go far beyond that.

Below are just some of the ways our community uses Barrier NPR+:

Everyday Concerns
Barrier NPR+ is a soothing, restorative balm for common skin flare-ups – from post-acne marks and superficial irritation to insect bites and sunburn.

Irritated + Itchy Skin
Powered by advanced forms of Colloidal Oatmeal and Zinc Oxide, Barrier NPR+ offers fast, calming relief for irritated and itchy skin.

Compromised Skin Barriers
This anhydrous (water-free) formula forms an invisible layer that locks in moisture and prevents further loss – ideal for cracked heels, elbows, and other dry, compromised areas.

Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)
Barrier NPR+ may help support skin experiencing TSW symptoms. Its non-hydrating balm format aligns with the principles of No Moisturising Treatment (NMT), offering gentle protection without added moisture.

Baby Bottoms
Barrier NPR+ helps reduce friction and chafing while creating a protective barrier on delicate skin.

Weather + Environmental Protection
Acts as a shield against harsh elements like cold air and windburn. Defends against oxidative stress and environmental aggressors to help preserve skin health.

What’s your favourite way to use Barrier NPR+?

Can I use Barrier NPR+ on my infant / baby?

To make claims that a product is safe for babies, it must undergo in vivo testing under paediatric controls - a process that’s both rigorous and costly. We haven’t yet begun these tests.

That said, our ultra-gentle formulas and extensive independent clinical studies on sensitive skin (plus plenty of use on our own “guinea-kids”) give us confidence that little ones love our products.

Things to keep in mind:
If a skincare formula contains food ingredients, it’s best to wait until your child has been introduced to those foods during weaning before using it topically. Some research suggests early skin exposure may be linked to developing food sensitivities.

This is why we often suggest Bodyguard over Barrier NPR+ when parents are concerned about their baby's skin barrier.

And remember to always patch test first.

Is Barrier NPR+ suitable for Topical Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome (TSWS)?

Yes! Barrier NPR+ can help alleviate symptoms associated with TSWS.

Its anhydrous (water-free) formula provides targeted relief, protecting, supporting and soothing without adding excessive hydration.

This may make it a suitable option for those following No Moisturising Treatment (NMT) guidelines during their TSWS recovery.

What does NPR+ stand for?

Simple! We named our hero product Barrier NPR+ because it Nourishes, Protects and Restores your skin barrier.

The "+” highlights the added versatility and multiple benefits of this balm, making it your go-to solution for a variety of skin concerns.

What makes your formula different from other creams on the market that contain colloidal oatmeal?

To our knowledge, Barrier NPR+ contains the highest concentration of colloidal oatmeal at 2%, making it one of the most potent barrier treatments available.

What sets us apart is our use of COM USP, an advanced, scientifically-backed form of colloidal oatmeal known for its superior anti-irritant and skin-protecting properties.

Beyond just soothing, this ingredient helps reduce redness and irritation, offering targeted relief for a variety of skin conditions.

Its unique properties make it especially effective for supporting sensitive and compromised skin, making Barrier NPR+ a standout formula on the market.

Will this product leave a 'white cast' on my skin?

Barrier NPR+ contains 15% zinc, a powerhouse mineral known for soothing irritation, supporting skin barrier repair and protecting against environmental aggressors.

While many are familiar with traditional zinc formulations that can leave a white cast, we use ZinClear XP® in all our products. This advanced ingredient has a unique porous structure and a transparent, non-whitening formula that rubs in clear and leaves minimal white cast.

Can I use Barrier NPR+ alongside other products in your range?

Absolutely! All Salvida products are designed to work harmoniously together.

For the best barrier-boosting results, we recommend using the full Salvida range to support your skin’s health and hydration.

What's the best way to use Barrier NPR+ for different concerns?

Application can vary depending on your skin's needs.
