Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream 50 ml Refillable — Ultra-Rich Moisturizer for Dry, Redness-Prone Skin, 24H Hydration

Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream is an ultra-rich, buttery moisturizer formulated to deliver clinically proven 24-hour hydration for chronically dry or compromised skin barriers.

Designed for skin that struggles to retain moisture, Bora Barrier combines a six-butter lipid complex with supportive actives to help bolster the skin’s natural lipids, comfort visible redness, and enhance elasticity. The formula is free of essential oils, silicones, fragrances, and alcohols, and is dermatologist-tested and cruelty-free. In 2024 it was named an Allure Best of Beauty winner and is now available in a refillable format.

How does Bora Barrier help dry or damaged skin?

Bora Barrier supplies concentrated lipids and emollients that sit on and within the skin to restore a smoother, more resilient surface. It supports the skin’s own production of structural components like collagen and hyaluronic acid precursors, helping skin feel softer and look less reactive over time.

• Six-butter lipid complex to replenish surface moisture and strengthen the barrier
• Zinc and copper gluconates to calm visible redness
• Alpha glucan to enhance hydration and soothe
• Clinically proven to provide up to 24 hours of moisturization

When and how should I use this moisturizer in my routine?

Apply Bora Barrier once in the morning and once at night to clean, dry skin. It can be used daily, alternated with other moisturizers, or blended with any Drunk Elephant serum, treatment, or cream for tailored hydration.

• Use one pump for face and neck after serums or treatments
• Mix with actives or lighter moisturizers to adjust texture
• Suitable for morning use under sunscreen and for overnight repair

What are the key ingredients and what do they do?

The formula centers on a multi-butter lipid complex that replenishes barrier lipids while targeted mineral gluconates and carbohydrates calm and hydrate. Ingredients were selected to be effective without adding fragrances, silicones, or essential oils that can aggravate sensitive skin.

• 6-butter lipid complex: soothes, strengthens, and locks in moisture
• Zinc and copper gluconates: reduce the appearance of redness and support skin comfort
• Alpha glucan: a gentle, hydration-boosting carbohydrate
• Free of essential oils, fragrances, silicones, alcohols, and SLS

Is Bora Barrier suitable for mature or reactive skin types?

Yes—its rich lipid profile makes it especially helpful for mature skin that has difficulty holding moisture, while the calming ingredients are designed to reduce irritation and visible redness. Because it’s formulated without common sensitizers, many people with reactive skin find it tolerable and supportive.

• Ideal for chronically dry, mature, or barrier-compromised skin
• Dermatologist-tested and cruelty-free
• Refillable packaging option to reduce waste
