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: 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.
