Summary:A composition of matter and method for treating compromised skin is disclosed, providing improved skin barrier repair and maintenance properties. The composition of matter comprises at least one lipid selected from a group consisting of lipids defined by a predetermined lipid profile and at least one skin nutrient selected from a group consisting of nutrients defined by a predetermined nutrient profile, but is substantially free of petrolatum.
