Harnessing the benefits of one of the most ancient and vital food groups, we created Barrier Warrior, a barrier fortifying gel that is rooted in the humble grain.
Plant peptides and a ceramide complex promote cellular proliferation and protect your barrier, while beta-glucan and grain-based humectants intensely hydrate. A blend of antioxidants, brighteners, and soothing agents works to even skin tone, calm your skin, and revive its intrinsic luminosity.
With Barrier Warrior, you can expect the protection of a rich and heavy barrier cream, in the most lightweight and silky gel texture.

Let customers speak for us
from 102 reviewsI live in the desert so dry skin is always an issue. I also have sensitive skin and this has not caused any issues. I wake up with smooth moisturized skin.
I'm on my 2nd jar and now use some of their other products too. This removes all but the most stubborn waterproof mascara and leave my skin clean and smooth. I have sensitive skin and this doesn't burn, even around my eyes, nor cause breakouts.
I’m on my 3rd bottle. For a woman who loves to try new things buying more than once says it all.
Great product. It smells so good and leave my skin looking glowy all day long
I love the texture of this cleanser
Unlike anything I’ve ever used
Soft and gentle and effective
The cleaning gel is so amazing. My face feels clean without being a harsh cleaner! My face feels soft after I use it. I simply love this! Thank you for a great product!
I am a holistic esthetician and my standards are super high! The reason I ordered this to try was based on the ingredient list. I am very picky about that. It is pure with no added junk. Feels great and works great. I’d sell it if I could!
A great gentle yet thorough cleanser which I highly recommend!
I have quite dry skin, and I'm very happy with this cleanser. it feels good going on and my face feels really good after it's rinsed off I've been using it for about 3 weeks now and think it's my new standard.
I ordered my first jar of Dew Drops...was interested in the gel to oil to emulsify result. It works beautifully...I can't wait to take my makeup now...it becomes a Beauty Ritual! My skin is so soft...and only used it two days now....
Just what the packaging promises!
Luxury gentle cleanser, with a very light soft scent.
Cleanses perfectly, whilst leaving a comfortable feeling of hydrated skin.
Very light, non greasy, feels like quenching a thirsty skin.
Very gentle on sensitive skin too.
And discreet scent which is a bonus
Truly the best hydrator I ever experienced for my dry skin My fine wrinkles that go with the dryness are gone. 2 pumps on my face to moisture and last for the entire day. Super powerful. Thank you -)
There really is no other cleanser quite like Dew Drops. On days where I have light makeup (tinted sunscreen, light under-eye concealer, powder, eyebrow pencil and lipstick), I use this as my first step cleanser. The feeling of the gel on the skin is nice. And then as you rub it all over your face, the gel just covers your skin so nicely. It's hard to describe it accurately. Following this, I use the milk cleanser or if I feel like I want something "cleaner" I'll use a stronger cleanser. Depends on my skin condition on that day. FYI, I'm a 36 year old who looks like a late 20 something (according to a lot of people lolz), with oily combo skin living in a hot and humid tropical country.
My favourite new skincare find in forever is Forest Rhapsody Dew Drops Enzymatic Cleansing Gel. I guarantee you have never used a cleanser with this sort of texture before. Dip into the frosted glass jar to encounter a pillowy gel, like just-set jelly, and a product that thoroughly cleans, gently exfoliates and feels like a
The Ritual & Tips
How To Use
Apply a pea sized amount of Barrier Warrior to the whole face, and massage gently with finger tips until it is completely absorbed. Depending on your skin’s needs, Barrier Warrior can be used on its own, or with other mists, serums and oils for an additional dose of hydration.

Barrier Warrior is the perfect lightweight moisturiser for both day and night. For skin in need of a real boost of hydration and nutrients, layer on a generous amount and Barrier Warrior will function gorgeously as a sleeping mask.

Optimal blend of ceramides complex to strengthen your skin's lipid barrier and restore its protective function.
Alpha-arbutin
Alpha-arbutin evens out skin tone by fading dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Formula Inspiration
I have always been intrigued by ancient grains.
This vital food group has stood the test of time across cultural and countries, defying trends and fads to remain an intrinsic part of our daily lives. This superfood is complete and whole, simple in form, but holds one of the most nutritionally complex profile.
Growing up, ancient grains have always been fundamental to our way of life and played a pivotal role in my beauty rituals – from mung beans in face masks, adzuki beans in body scrubs and powdered rice in facial treatments, just to name a few. It is through ancient grains that I learnt how a simple ingredient, when used in the right way as nature intended, delivers infinite benefits.
With Barrier Warrior, I was obsessed with leaning on green chemistry to tap into this food group I grew up with, extrapolating their benefits to topical skincare treats, and in the process, elevate our daily skincare ritual into a celebration of the humble grain.
All Your Questions Answered
Frequently asked questions
We use a peptide that is derived from rice, based on our philosophy of formulating using green chemistry. These di- and tripeptides have relatively small molecular sizes, and therefore penetrate the skin more easily and yield better results. We are always challenging ourselves to redefine what green beauty means.
Green Nectar hydrates while Barrier Warrior locks in that hydration by moisturizing and protecting. They work beautifully on their own, but their efficacy is amplified when used as a pair.
Barrier Warrior contains a host of superior hydrating ingredients, including beta-glucan and a grain-based humectant derived from quinoa, amaranth and soy. And this is why one of the most common terms used to describe this powerhouse skin barrier protector is “lightweight and silky”. With Barrier Warrior, you reap all of benefits of a rich barrier cream in the most lightweight gel format.
Use Barrier Warrior as you would a moisturizer. We recommend hydrating your skin with Green Nectar, before locking in that hydration with Barrier Warrior. And if your skin craves something even richer after this step, feel free to layer on. We play well with others!
Barrier Warrior is fragrance-free, formulated with the most sensitive of skin in mind. We do use cucumber extract in this formula for its soothing properties, so some might catch a whiff of a mild cucumber scent in the product. It is refreshing and green, barely there but enough to tickle your olfactory senses.

I love anything with ceramides and peptides so I knew I’d get on well with this one, love it so much! I just love al the textures and consistencies of all your products!
I feel honestly LUCKY to have discovered you because my skin is loving these products!
Already treated myself to a mini-facial! Double cleanse and Good Earth, followed by Green Nectar and Barrier Warrior. I’ve been fighting very dry skin lately and I was so impressed with how gentle each product was yet still very effective.
The mask was followed by Green Nectar and barrier warrior. Wow. Loved them all.
Such a well-rounded product and such a great addition after exfoliating treatments. And I love the light cucumber scent that. Subtle and not overpowering. On my second bottle now!
