For years, dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann kept running into the same problem.

Patients would come into her office with dry, sensitive skin. She would recommend moisturizers. Some helped for a few hours. Some helped for a few days. But many patients kept coming back with the same complaint:

"My skin is dry again."

What frustrated her most was that she understood exactly what they were going through because she struggled with dry skin herself.

The problem wasn't a lack of moisturizers.

The problem was that most moisturizers weren't designed to support the skin barrier itself.

Determined to find a better solution, Dr. Baumann spent years searching for a moisturizer built on real skin barrier science.

Then, at a dermatology conference in Seoul, she met Dr. Jong-Kyung Youm, a Korean scientist whose career had been devoted to studying the skin barrier and the unique lipid structure that helps healthy skin retain moisture.

Their expertise complemented each other perfectly.

Dr. Baumann brought decades of experience treating patients with chronic dry skin. Dr. Jong-Kyung brought years of research into how the skin barrier functions at its most fundamental level.

Together, they developed Zerafite.

More than a moisturizer, Zerafite was designed around a simple idea: support the skin barrier so skin can hold onto moisture the way it was meant to.

More than a decade later, Zerafite is recommended by dermatologists and carried in clinics across the country. Not because of a marketing trend, but because it was created to solve a problem Dr. Baumann had spent her career trying to fix.
