North American Desert Botanical Lipid Complex • Overnight Seal • Final Step of the LAYLAND METHOD™
Throughout history, people living in the world’s driest climates learned that finding moisture was only part of the challenge. Keeping it from escaping mattered just as much.
Across arid environments, plant oils, waxes, and animal fats were traditionally applied to skin, creating an occlusive layer that helped reduce moisture loss and protect against the drying effects of the environment.
Modern barrier science explains the same fundamental principle: maintaining skin hydration depends not only on adding water, but also on limiting its loss.
Think of skin like a reservoir. Humectants help attract and retain water, while occlusive lipids help slow its evaporation from the surface.
BUFFÈRE™ provides humectants and barrier-supportive ingredients, while BASTINA™ creates a lipid-rich occlusive layer that helps reduce moisture loss.
Together, they provide hydration, barrier support, and occlusion for skin that feels softer, smoother, and more comfortable.
Barrier Support
Botanical waxes, cholesterol, butters, and emollient lipids form an occlusive layer that helps reduce moisture loss and support skin barrier function.
Dehydration
Botanical butters, oils, and occlusive lipids help limit water loss from the skin, supporting moisture retention and skin comfort overnight.
Healthy skin hydration depends not only on adding water, but also on limiting its loss through the skin barrier.
Hydration is only half the equation. Without sufficient surface lipids and occlusion, water can evaporate from the skin through transepidermal water loss.
BASTINA™ was designed as the final step of The Layland Method™. Its blend of botanical waxes, butters, oils, and emollient lipids forms an occlusive layer that helps reduce moisture loss and support overnight skin comfort.
Think of it as the lipid-rich finishing step that helps keep moisture in.
BASTINA™ combines botanical butters, oils, waxes, and emollient lipids selected to reduce moisture loss and support dry skin.
Lipid-Rich Emollients
Shea butter, meadowfoam seed oil, radish seed oil, cocoa butter, cholesterol, lecithin, and other plant-derived lipids help soften the skin and support moisture retention.
Occlusive Lipids + Waxes
Tribehenin, sunflower wax, and candelilla wax form an occlusive layer on the skin that helps reduce water loss and maintain skin comfort.
North American Desert Botanicals
Evening primrose, sand verbena, agave, Joshua tree, cholla cactus, ocotillo, and creosote bush connect BASTINA™ to the arid landscapes that inspired its formulation. These plants are adapted to environments characterized by intense sun, limited rainfall, and prolonged periods of drought. Their inclusion reflects BASTINA™’s central formulation philosophy: hydration depends not only on finding moisture, but on keeping it from escaping.
Bisabolol + Tocopherol
Bisabolol provides skin-conditioning and soothing properties, while tocopherol provides antioxidant support.
BASTINA™ takes its name from the French word bastion, a fortified structure built to protect what lies within.
Healthy skin hydration depends on one essential principle: keeping water where it belongs. Throughout history, people living in some of the world’s driest environments learned that finding water was only part of the challenge. Preventing its loss mattered just as much.
BASTINA™ draws inspiration from North American desert plants that have evolved remarkable adaptations to conserve water and survive intense heat, wind, and prolonged drought.
BASTINA™ applies that same philosophy to skincare. Its blend of botanical waxes, butters, oils, and emollient lipids forms an occlusive layer that helps reduce moisture loss and maintain skin hydration overnight.
BASTINA™ is a lipid-rich overnight formula designed to help reduce moisture loss as the final step of your evening routine.
Final Step of The Layland Method™
Applied over your evening skincare as the final lipid-rich layer.
