Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream — 50 ml Ultra-Rich Moisturizer, 24-Hour Hydration & Barrier Repair

This refillable 50 ml cream is formulated for chronically dry, sensitized, or mature skin that struggles to hold moisture. It combines a six-butter lipid complex with zinc and copper gluconates and alpha glucan to soothe, strengthen, and visually reduce redness while encouraging the skin’s natural synthesis of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and essential lipids.

How does Bora Barrier restore and protect a dry or compromised skin barrier?

Bora Barrier uses a blend of rich butters and targeted actives to reinforce the skin’s lipid matrix and lock in moisture. By supporting the skin’s own production of lipids and hyaluronic acid, it helps the barrier recover from dehydration and environmental stressors without heavy, pore-clogging ingredients.

• Six-butter lipid complex rebuilds and seals moisture.
• Zinc and copper gluconates target visible redness and calm skin.
• Alpha glucan and other hydrators support surface hydration and comfort.

How should I use this cream in my daily routine?

Apply one pump to clean, dry skin morning and night or as needed for intense hydration. It plays well with other Drunk Elephant serums, treatments, and creams and can be layered or mixed for a customized moisture boost.

• Use daily or rotate with other moisturizers for variety.
• Mix with serums or treatments to enhance barrier repair benefits.
• Refillable packaging reduces waste while keeping the product fresh.

Will this feel heavy or interfere with makeup?

Despite its rich, buttery texture, Bora Barrier absorbs to leave skin feeling supple, not greasy, making it suitable under makeup for many users. The formula sidesteps silicones and fragrances, so it layers cleanly with primers and foundations without adding unnecessary slip.

• Buttery finish that sinks in rather than sits on skin.
• Formulated without silicones, essential oils, or fragrance to reduce layering issues.
• Can be used under makeup for smoother application and longer wear.

What key ingredients should I know about and what do they do?

The formula centers on a restorative lipid complex and supportive actives chosen for barrier health and comfort. Ingredients were selected to hydrate, soothe, and strengthen without using fragrance, essential oils, or harsh alcohols.

• Six-butter lipid complex: replenishes and protects the skin’s moisture barrier.
• Zinc & copper gluconates: help diminish visible redness and support skin resilience.
• Alpha glucan: soothes while improving surface hydration retention.

Who is this for: Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream is designed for anyone with chronically dry, sensitive, or mature skin seeking a clean-clinical approach to long-lasting hydration and barrier support. It’s ideal for people who prefer formulations free of essential oils, silicones, fragrances, and SLS, and for those who want a refillable option that pairs with serums and other treatments in a targeted skincare routine.
