Why it works

Eczema-prone skin doesn’t need another moisturizer. It needs protection.

With eczema, the skin barrier is weakened: water escapes and irritants get in. This cream lays an occlusive film over your skin that stops both and gives your skin time to repair itself underneath.

→Slows water loss through a weakened barrier
→Based on an old-school pharmacy formula
→No fragrance, no dyes, no known irritants

How it works

A cracked barrier leaks. The cream stands in for it, for now.

Skin with eczema loses water faster than it can replace it. The cream doesn’t work from the inside. It spreads a layer over cracked areas that holds water in and keeps irritants out, so the skin underneath can repair itself in peace.

ECZEMA-PRONE, DRY, CRACKED SKIN

Every crack is like an open window: water escapes, and hour by hour your skin feels tighter, itchier and more sensitive.

WITH THE CREAM

An occlusive film of petrolatum and lanolin seals the cracks: water is sent back into the skin, and irritants stay on the other side.

When to reach for it

When eczema-prone skin needs it most

01
Flare-ups in skin folds
Inner elbows, backs of the knees, wrists, neck.
02
Tight skin after a shower
Applied to damp skin, it locks the water in.
03
Winter flare-ups
Cold air outside, dry air indoors.
04
Baby cheeks and skin folds
A gentle layer, from 3 months of age.
05
Areas under clothing
Seams, elastic bands and wool that irritate.
06
Calm stretches
Everyday care to help your skin stay calm.
Eczema cream texture on two fingertips – rich SOS Ointment for very dry skin
TEXTURE

Rich texture. For a reason.

Eczema-prone skin needs a cream that stays put. The thickness isn’t a flaw, it’s how it works: it forms a film that protects the driest spots for hours.

→A pea-size amount covers your whole palm, so a jar lasts.
→Once it’s absorbed, it won’t leave marks on your clothes.
→On oily, acne-prone skin, it’s only sometimes a good match.

How to use it

step one
A little goes a long way

A pea-size amount, warmed between your fingers, covers an area the size of your palm.

step two
Right after a shower

On slightly damp skin, the film locks in water that would otherwise evaporate.

step three
Be generous at night

Apply a thicker layer to the most cracked areas before bed and let it work overnight.

INGREDIENTS · INCI

What’s in this cream? Just 13 ingredients.

Eczema-prone skin tolerates less, so the formula holds only what has a job to do. The full list from the package is below. Tap an ingredient to see why it’s there.

01 Water Aqua BASE +

The water in the formula brings moisture to the skin, and the oils then lock it in under the film. That’s why it’s best on slightly damp skin.

02 Lanolin (wool wax) Lanolin OCCLUSIVE + SOFTENS +

Wool wax, surprisingly close in makeup to the lipids of a healthy skin barrier (it even contains cholesterol). It softens rough spots and slows water loss, which is the main reason the cream lasts so long on your skin.

03 Petrolatum Petrolatum OCCLUSIVE +

The best-researched occlusive in skin care. A study in JACI (Czarnowicki, 2016) found that petrolatum raised the barrier proteins filaggrin and loricrin in the skin, boosted its natural antimicrobial peptides and lowered inflammatory signals. These are findings for the ingredient, not measurements of the finished product.

04 Olive oil Olea Europaea Fruit Oil PLANT OIL +

A soft plant oil with natural vitamin E. It helps the cream spread smoothly, even over rough, flaky skin.

05 Calendula in almond oil Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil SOOTHING +

Calendula flowers steeped in sweet almond oil. Calendula is known as one of the gentlest plants for irritated skin, and the almond oil softens at the same time.

06 Jojoba oil Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil PLANT OIL +

Actually a liquid wax, very similar to the skin’s own sebum, so your skin takes to it easily.

07 Fatty alcohol Cetearyl Alcohol TEXTURE +

A waxy fatty alcohol (not the drying kind) that binds water and oils into a stable, spreadable texture.

08 Allantoin Allantoin SMOOTHS +

Smooths a hard, flaky surface so your skin doesn’t feel tight or crack.

09 Bisabolol from chamomile Bisabolol SOOTHING +

Chamomile’s best-studied active. It soothes the look of redness and the feeling of stinging on irritated areas.

10 Sodium benzoate Sodium Benzoate KEEPS THE FORMULA SAFE +

A gentle preservative, one of the most common in baby care. It keeps a water-based formula safe down to the last use.

11 Potassium sorbate Potassium Sorbate KEEPS THE FORMULA SAFE +

Works alongside sodium benzoate. Together they cover a wider range of microbes, so less of each is needed.

12 Vitamin E Tocopheryl Acetate ANTIOXIDANT +

An antioxidant: it keeps the oils in the cream from going rancid and fights free radicals on the skin.

13 Citric acid Citric Acid pH +

Keeps the cream’s pH close to your skin’s natural pH, which is kind to your skin and its microbiome.

Questions about the cream for eczema-prone skin

Does this cream cure eczema?+

No. Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a medical condition, and this cream is a cosmetic, so it’s skin care, not medicine. It helps support the skin barrier, locks in moisture and soothes the look of irritation and the feeling of tight skin. Diagnosis and treatment always belong with your doctor.

Is it okay for babies and kids with eczema-prone skin?+

Yes. It’s dermatologically tested on very sensitive skin and can be used from 3 months of age. If the patches are widespread or have lasted a while, check with your pediatrician first.

How often should I apply it during a flare-up?+

Apply a thin layer two to three times a day to dry, irritated areas. At night you can go thicker. It works best on slightly damp skin, right after a shower.

How is it different from a regular moisturizer?+

Light moisturizers put water on your skin that quickly evaporates. This cream is occlusive: it leaves a protective film that holds water in and keeps irritated areas shielded from irritants around you.

What if it doesn’t suit my skin?+

You’re covered by our 30-day guarantee: keep the cream, and we’ll refund you in full, shipping included. One message and it’s done.
