How to choose a cream suitable for atopic eczema?
The main function of the skin is to protect, to create a barrier between the inside and the outside. For people suffering from atopic skin, the skin does not play its role as a protective barrier, we speak of a skin barrier defect. In short, atopic skin is very sensitive and is therefore very permeable to external aggressors, allergens and products, and in particular cosmetic ingredients that are placed on the skin.
It can be difficult to know which cosmetic product to turn to to take care of baby's fragile skin. The golden rule is to choose the most natural treatments possible. This ensures that potentially toxic ingredients are not allowed to penetrate your skin. Or irritating cosmetic ingredients to dry out your skin more than it already is!
Ingredients not recommended to avoid
It's no longer a secret. Conventional cosmetics contain many chemical substances. Not only does their composition need to be reviewed, but they also contain very few natural active ingredients (1 to 2% vs. 30 to 40% in organic cosmetics). As a reminder, babies suffering from eczematous skin have a skin barrier that is permeable to the ingredients that are applied to their skin. Allergens or even toxic substances penetrate very easily. For these reasons, we advise you to look at the labels of the eczema creams you want to buy and be wary of a few ingredients.
To name just part of it:
- PEGs , often written with these three letters on the labels, they are easy to find.
- phenoxyethanol , a potentially toxic preservative and a suspected endocrine disruptor that is still found in many conventional products.
- surfactants , irritating and drying foaming agents that we often see under the names Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate.
- synthetic perfume to avoid contact with allergens.
- mineral oils from petrochemicals such as Liquidum paraffinum.
- BHA and BHT, neurotoxic antioxidants with potential endocrine disruptors.
Decipher the ingredients or trust the labels
You can turn to products labeled organic if you do not feel able to do so, which is completely understandable given the size of the ingredient lists and the scientific terms used. COSMOS, COSMEBIO or even ECOCERT are guarantees of safety and guarantee the naturalness of care.
Paying particular attention to the products chosen to care for your infant is essential. Whether he is prone to dry skin or not, his skin remains fragile. She must be protected and hydrated every day with a cream adapted to her eczema to strengthen her skin barrier. Also note that an infant does not need to be washed every day, two to three per week are enough!
However, be careful with a few false friends for dry skin with atopic tendency. Essential oils and alcohol are widely used in organic cosmetics. Although very interesting for many reasons, it is best that you put aside eczema creams containing these ingredients. In fact, they can be potentially irritating for babies suffering from dry, atopic-prone skin.

You have done everything in place to preserve your child's skin with natural solutions but you notice that no treatment relieves or treats your baby's very dry skin. Your baby surely needs care dedicated to this skin problem: specific creams to treat your baby's eczema.
When a baby has eczema skin , a moisturizer or virgin oil is not enough to prevent itching or irritation.
