Barrier Cream

This luxurious and unscented cream is specifically designed to blend, minimize, and prevent the development of DHA on dry, calloused body parts such as cuticles, elbows, and knees, which are prone to dark or uneven tanning.

In contrast to typical lotions, Sjolie Barrier Cream is purposefully designed with your spray tan in mind, ensuring no residue transfer that might affect your spray tan’s quality.

Key Benefits

Non-Greasy, Lightweight Formula

Designed to feel comfortable on the skin while providing effective DHA barrier protection without a heavy or greasy residue.

Blocks & Minimizes DHA Penetration

Creates a protective barrier on dry, calloused areas that prevents excess DHA absorption and the dark patches that result from uneven skin permeability.

Provides Added Skin Hydration

Enriched with Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, and Safflower Seed Oil to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin while protecting it during the spray tan process.

Fragrance-Free

Unscented formula ensures no interference with your spray tan solution and is safe for sensitive skin. Safe for the face and body.

Directions

1
Step

Apply Generously to Key Areas

Apply a generous amount of Barrier Cream to the cuticles, palms, and soles of the feet; the cream should be visibly thick.

2
Step

Adjust for Dry or Mature Skin

For dry or mature skin, apply a thin layer to the elbows, knees, and ankles, allowing it to absorb slightly.

3
Step

Remove After the Session

When the spray tan is complete, gently wipe away the Barrier Cream using a clean towel.

Artist Tips

The technician should apply the Barrier Cream to the necessary areas, not the client. Apply a thin layer on areas where minimal DHA development is desired. Apply a thick layer on areas where DHA development is unwanted. The technician always removes the Barrier Cream from the client before dressing.

Ingredients We Love

Aloe Vera

Deeply hydrates and moisturizes dry skin, promoting a smoother and more nourished complexion.

Shea Butter

Highly nourishing and rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and E to keep the skin soft and supple while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Safflower Seed Oil

Rich in beneficial fatty acids like linolenic acid, which can help to improve hydration and prevent dry skin. Even on the most sensitive and acne-prone skin, this ingredient will help moisturize without leaving behind a heavy, oily feel.
