ALL PRODUCTS
- Where and when should I apply my patch?
Patches should be applied to clean, dry skin. Avoid placing patches on your face, head, or any areas with broken or irritated skin. Some of the best spots include wrists, upper arms, shoulder blades, collarbone, back, hips, thighs, and ankles. Our melatonin patches should be applied only when you want to sleep. Otherwise you can apply our patches at any time, day or night! For sensitive skin, rotate patch sites (arm, back, hip, shoulder, etc.) — don’t use the same spot every day.
- Do patches expire?
Yes, our patches expire after 3 years. Each package of patches includes a printed expiration date on the back of the pack for you to reference.
- What happens if I leave my patch on longer than 12 hours?
Ingredients will release from the patch over the course of 8-12 hours, but if you forget to remove it, don't stress. Nothing will happen if you remove it after the 12 hour mark.
- Who can wear these patches?
Our patches are formulated for ages 12 and up. Kids patches are for children ages 2-11.
- Are barrière patches third-party tested?
Yes, we third-party test all our formulas.
- Are barrière patches third-party tested?
Yes, we third-party test all our formulas.
- Are barrière patches non-toxic?
Yes, our patches are non-toxic and free of latex, parabens, and fillers.
- Can I re-wear my patch?
No. Our patches are made to deliver nutrients for 8-12 hours at a time, and should be disposed of afterwards.
- Will patches irritate my skin?
Our patches are hypoallergenic and should not cause irritation. If any irritation occurs, please remove the patch. For sensitive skin, rotate patch sites (arm, back, hip, shoulder, etc.) — don’t use the same spot every day.
- I can't find the vitamin I'm looking for. Why is that?
Because we let science dictate our formulations, we only include ingredients shown to be effective through transdermal delivery—at least equal to, if not better than, other available formats.
For that reason, we don't currently offer every supplement as a patch. Email wecare@mybarriere.com with any of your questions or suggestions about our ingredients or formulas!- When should I apply my patch?
Choose a time that fits your routine best, and wear the patch for up to 12 hours. Our melatonin patches should be applied only when you want to sleep. Otherwise you can apply our patches at any time, day or night!
- What are barrière patches made of?
Patches themselves are made from 100% recycled PET and do not contain natural rubber latex. Our patches are 3-D printed using ink. The ink is vegan, water-based ink. We do not use dye.
- Are vitamin patches FDA approved?
No dietary supplements, including vitamin patches, are FDA-approved. However, our patches are produced under strict quality and safety standards. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized supplement advice.
- Where are barrière patches made?
Our patches are made in a cGMP-compliant U.K. facility that is M.H.R.A. registered and certified to ISO 9001 standards. The M.H.R.A. is the U.K. equivalent of the FDA here in the U.S.
- How do I know if my patch is working?
Our vitamin patches are designed to deliver both instant and long-term benefits. While some ingredients may offer noticeable effects shortly after application—like increased focus, energy, or calm—others work beneath the surface to support your health over time. Your experience may vary depending on the specific formula and your individual needs, but consistency is key.*

Yes. Our patches are made from 100% recyclable PET and should be recycled in designated plastic bins. We’re committed to creating products that are good for you—and kind to the planet.
- How should I store my patches?
Store your patches in their pack packaging or in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Each pack includes an expiration date (typically 3 years from production).
- What if I’m allergic to adhesives?
The adhesive used in our patches is a PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) and is not produced with any colophony/rosin. Our patches are hypoallergenic and should not cause irritation. If any irritation occurs, please remove the patch.
- Can I wear patches with other vitamins or supplements in my routine?
For the most part, yes. Just make sure you are not overlapping ingredients. For example, if using the Hello Sunshine patch daily, an additional Vitamin D supplement shouldn't be in your daily routine.
We always recommend consulting your doctor before starting any new vitamin or supplement regimen. If you are pregnant or nursing, please speak with a physician before using any supplement product.- Why choose a patch over capsules or pills?
Many people find capsules and tablets inconvenient or difficult to swallow. Research also suggests that many common ingredients in capsule form may break down in the digestive system before your body can fully absorb them. That means you might not be getting everything you think you are.¹
Our transdermal patches offer a no-pill alternative, designed for steady, consistent release of ingredients through the skin—without binders, sugar, or swallowing worries.
They’re travel-friendly, recyclable, and formulated with clinically studied ingredients, making them a convenient part of your wellness routine.- How do I know if my patch is working?

- How do I apply my patch?
- Prep the skin: Apply the patch to clean, dry skin that’s free of lotions, oils, or sweat.
- Placement: Choose areas with less movement or friction, like the upper arm, shoulder blade, or lower back.
- Application: When peeling the patch from the backing, start from one corner and remove it slowly so both sides stay intact. Then press the patch firmly onto the skin for 10–15 seconds, making sure the edges are smoothed down.
- How do I peel a patch from the backing?
Lay the patch sheet face down on a flat, clean surface.
Pick a Corner: Choose a corner or edge of the patch to start with.
Gently Fold the Backing: Slightly bend (don’t crease) the backing sheet near the chosen edge. This creates tension to help the patch lift.
Peel Slowly: Once the edge lifts, peel the patch off slowly at a low angle using fingers or tweezers.
Apply Immediately: Stick your patch to the desired surface right after removal to keep the adhesive clean.
- What are barrière's safety standards & certifications?
We prioritize quality and safety by conducting third-party testing to ensure our formulations meet the highest standards. Our patches are certified to ISO 9001 standards and are cruelty-free, vegan, and free from latex and gluten.
- How do transdermal vitamin patches work?
Transdermal vitamins deliver vitamins and adaptogens directly through the skin and into the bloodstream, bypassing the gut for enhanced absorption.*
- How long should I wear a patch?
Our recommended wear time is 8-12 hours.
- How many patches come in a pack?
30-pack: 30 patches
36-pack: 36 patches — a full monthly supply, with 6 to spare or share!
Multivitamin 6-pack: 6 patches
Multivitamin 30-pack: 30 patches
- Can I wear more than one patch at the same time?
Generally, yes! Patches from different formulas can be worn together when used as directed.
Some formulas do share overlapping ingredients, so we recommend checking the supplement facts panel before stacking. For example, Brains & Beauty and Energy Boost both contain Vitamin B12; Brains & Beauty, Call of Beauty, and Skin Support all contain Biotin; and Hello Sunshine and Everyday Defense both contain Vitamin D — in these cases, we suggest alternating use or reviewing your total dosage to avoid excessive intake of any single ingredient.
Note that Kids Multi and Kids Immunity should not be worn together.*
- Are barrière patches vegan?
Yes, our patches are vegan, cruelty-free, and made with 100% plant-powered ingredients.
- Can I shower or swim with my patches on?
Yes! Our patches are water-resistant. If your patch lifts or water gets underneath, replace it with a fresh one to ensure full benefits.
