Skin Barrier Cream Base (Emulsifier Free) Usage

Regarding your questions about the Skin Barrier Cream Base (Emulsifier Free):

1. Can it be used at 100% concentration?
   This base is highly concentrated and is not recommended for use at 100%. For dry, dehydrated, or irritated skin areas like heels, elbows, and knees, it should be used at a rate of 20-50%. The remaining percentage should be mixed with water, a Base Gel, or a general Base Cream. The base already contains a high concentration of skin-mimicking lipids and moisturizing ingredients, so adding other specific nourishing ingredients is optional but not strictly necessary for basic hydration and barrier repair. If you wish to enhance hydration, you could consider adding humectants like Hyaluronic Acid.

2. Does it exfoliate?
   No, the primary purpose of this base is to replenish moisture and lipids to restore the skin's protective barrier. It does not contain ingredients that cause exfoliation.

3. Is it safe for pregnant women?
   Based on its formulation which is free from emulsifiers, silicones, and fragrance, and designed to be gentle and repair the skin barrier, it is generally considered suitable for sensitive skin and can be used on dry areas during pregnancy, such as the abdomen. However, it is always best practice for pregnant individuals to consult with their doctor regarding any skincare products they plan to use.

This base is effective for providing intense moisture and helping to repair the skin barrier in dry and rough areas.
