Our story
For years, dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann saw the same problem in her patients and in her own skin: dryness that kept coming back, even after moisturizing.
She believed the issue was not a lack of moisture, but a weakened skin barrier.
At a dermatology conference in Seoul, Dr. Baumann met Dr. Jong-Kyung Youm, a Korean skin barrier scientist whose research focused on the lipid structure that helps healthy skin retain moisture.
Together, they developed Zerafite, the moisturizer that finally gave Dr. Baumann's own skin what it had been missing.
Barrier-focused skincare built around Korean lipid technology and shaped by decades of clinical dermatology experience.
More than a decade later, Zerafite is recommended by dermatologists and carried in clinics across the country because it was created for dry skin that needs more than temporary relief.
