About MANTLE

The acid mantle of the skin is referenced in the word MANTLE. The uppermost layer of the skin barrier, known as the acid mantle, is a delicate, slightly acidic film that serves as the body's first line of defence against bacteria and germs. Supporting the acid mantle and bolstering the skin barrier have been the main goals of all MANTLE formulations since the beginning.

All skin types can benefit from MANTLE's solutions, which combine mild but potent actives with nourishing, barrier-strengthening botanicals to provide benefits without upsetting the acid mantle.
