Discover Codex Labs’ new eczema lotion that also reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Clinically proven to boost hydration by 117% using Irish plant science.
Codex Labs, the Silicon Valley-based skin-tech pioneer with a hub in Cork, Ireland, has launched its latest breakthrough: the Bia Ultra-Hydrating Soothing Lotion. While clinically developed to relieve eczema symptoms, the product is generating buzz for a powerful side effect – its visible anti-aging results due to deep, long-lasting hydration. Results from an eight week clinical trial showed an incredible 117% increase in skin hydration. This skin hydration property has caused many users to notice a significant reduction in wrinkles and fine lines.
Dr. Barbara Paldus, the visionary behind Codex Labs, confirms that the lotion is not only safe to use on any skin as it is natural, but also highly effective as an anti-aging cream. “I use it myself every day,” she shares. “At 54, my skin has never looked better.” And indeed, her radiant complexion speaks volumes about the power of deep hydration. She notes that the cream is also ideal for women experiencing peri-menopausal or menopausal skin changes, which often include increased dryness, flakiness, and sensitivity. Its intense hydration and barrier-repairing properties make it especially supportive during this transitional stage. Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause often weaken the skin barrier, leading to dryness, sensitivity, and inflammation,” says Dr. Barbara Paldus. “Our Bia lotion is designed to deeply hydrate and support the skin barrier, making it especially beneficial during this time of change.
Hydration So Deep, It Turns Back the Clock
Designed to soothe eczema-prone skin, this new lotion does more than relieve itch and dryness — it restores skin elasticity, softens fine lines, and improves overall tone and texture. Users are discovering that intense moisturization leads to plumper, younger-looking skin.
At the heart of this innovation is Codex’s proprietary BiaComplex, a biotech-engineered blend of plant extracts from Irish land and marine botanicals, developed to nourish and fortify the skin barrier.
Clinical Results That Speak for Themselves
The Bia lotion is part of Codex Labs’ “Ditch the Itch” trio, which includes:



Results from an 8-Week Clinical Study on Eczema (35 participants):
93% reduction in eczema severity (SCORAD)
117% increase in skin hydration
88% reduction in itch
83% decrease in flakiness
29% decrease in trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL)
While developed for eczema relief, the hydration and barrier-repair benefits produce noticeable anti-aging effects, making it a dual-purpose skincare essential.
Many users report that while they originally purchased the cream to treat eczema, they were pleasantly surprised by its unexpected anti-aging benefits. Impressed by the visible improvements in skin texture and hydration, they’ve gone on to recommend it to friends without skin conditions – who are now equally enthusiastic about the results.
Biotech Backed by Irish Heritage
Codex Labs fuses cutting-edge science with ancient plant knowledge. West Cork-based Dr. Rosari Kingston, expert in Irish ethnobotany and author of Powers of Ireland’s Hidden Medicine, consults on the use of native ingredients that are found in the new wonder cream like:
- Comfrey
- Calendula
- Seaweed and wracks
These are sustainably replicated in Codex’s lab-based biotech formulations, ensuring potency and consistency without overharvesting natural sources.

“We didn’t set out to make an anti-aging product — but the skin’s response to this level of barrier support and hydration is visibly rejuvenating.” – Dr. Barbara Paldus
