moisture barrier
Stops water penetration
A moisture barrier is a material or layer that prevents water or water vapor from passing through.
In construction, moisture barriers protect walls, floors, and foundations from dampness: They installed a moisture barrier under the concrete slab.
In skincare, a moisture barrier refers to the skin's natural protective layer that retains hydration and keeps irritants out.
