Moisturiser isn’t just a “nice-to-have”, it’s the backbone of every effective skincare routine. Whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive, or somewhere in between, the right moisturiser keeps your barrier strong, balanced, and glowing. At Salvarity, we’ve developed a full range of moisturisers to meet today’s skin challenges. Our moisturisers are science-backed, dermatologist-reviewed, and designed in Australia.
“A well formulated moisturiser doesn’t just hydrate, it strengthens the skin barrier and helps it adapt to daily stressors. That’s why we designed the Salvarity range to be effective, kind, and safe for every skin type.” — Dr. George Thouas, Skincare Development Scientist at Salvarity

What Does a Moisturiser Do?
At its core, moisturisers help to keep your skin hydrated while protecting it from external stressors like pollution, UV, and the impacts of lifestyle factors. Depending on the formulation, moisturisers can:
-
Rehydrate dry skin and restore comfort.
-
Reduce excess shine and balance oily areas.
-
Calm visible redness and sensitivity.
-
Strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.
- Provide antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
An effective moisturiser doesn’t just mask dryness, it helps skin perform at its best.
