For those in need of skincare products designed to deal with eczema or eczema-related symptoms, the search for possible solutions can quickly turn into a nightmare. The process features plenty of products that promise the moon, along with recommendations from dermatologists who present a complete array of “guaranteed” solutions. Oh, and prescription drugs are also available, and these often come complete with a hall-of-mirrors list of side effects.   

There is a way to simplify your choices, though. RawSugar is a trusted source of hair- and body-based products, and the company’s new line of shampoo/conditioner offerings, dubbed “The Sensitive One,” is designed to directly address eczema and eczema-related issues.

There are multiple products being released that embody this approach to eczema. One release of tandem products consists of a shampoo and a conditioner for adults, with others that are specifically designed for kids.

The separation between pairs is deliberate. RawSugar has been working with Dr. Claire Wolinsky, a board-certified dermatologist for Spring Street Dermatology in New York, to help ensure the safety and effectiveness of these products when it comes to eczema.

“Eczema is a disorder of the skin barrier,” Dr. Wolinsky explains. “A key component to treating anyone with eczema is to maintain a healthy skin barrier by [using] gentle cleansers and hydrating moisturizers to restore and strengthen the barrier.”

The Sensitive One product line passes that initial test. They’re fragrance-free, which is essential, and like all of RawSugar Living’s products, they’ve been certified by the National Eczema Association.

The key ingredients

But these shampoos and conditioners do far more than pass the basic ingredients test. They’re crafted with a soothing blend of calendula, aloe, jojoba oil and meadowfoam seed oil, and each ingredient plays a specific role:

  • Calendula: soothes dry scalp
  • Aloe: helps calm the scalp and hydrate hair
  • Jojoba Oil: aids in the removal of oil and excess product that can clog pores in the scalp
  • Meadowfoam Seed Oil: adds moisture and shine

The Sensitive One is part of a comprehensive approach to eczema

While some potential customers might be skeptical when it comes to the effectiveness of a shampoo with a serious skin condition like eczema, Wolinsky says that level of skepticism isn’t warranted.

“Even when we prescribe anti-inflammatory creams and treatments, we always rely on consistent proper skin hygiene to minimize the use of medications and [flare-ups],” she says. “[It’s important] to use gentle cleansers to prevent disruption of the skin barrier, as well as moisturizers to restore the building blocks of the skin helps protect it against environmental factors, which is a key treatment goal.”

Pricing and availability

The adult products priced at $11.99 each. They’re also available as a duo on Amazon, with an appropriate discount for the pair. Each Raw Sugar purchase supports the Raw Sugar Initiative, which is dedicated to making clean water and soap available to those who need it most.

GUESS releases iconic new men’s cologne
GUESS ICONIC's new men's cologne is all about brand imaging
GUESS ICONIC

In the world of men’s fragrances, some brands niche down to appeal to a specific “type” and demographic, while others try to be all things to all people. The latter is especially true when they include the word “ICONIC” in their brand name, which is the case for this release from GUESS.
It's called GUESS ICONIC for Men, but GUESS isn't a company that's gender-specific when it comes to its scents. Its counterpart, GUESS Woman, was launched last April, and GUESS also designs, markets, distributes, and licenses a large collection of lifestyle products, including apparel, handbags, watches, footwear, and other consumer goods.

Mushrooms for men’s skincare? Verdoie adds new shroom-based supplement
These two products harness the healing power of mushrooms
Verdoie skincare product

Mushrooms are everywhere. They surround us in the woods when we go for a walk after a heavy spring rain. They’re omnipresent in recipes, both around the world and across the internet. They’ve even turned up in our coffee lately, so it was probably just a matter of time before they appeared in skincare products.
The company to thank for this latest development is a French firm called Verdoie, which just added a supplement called Le Complement Alimentaire to its existing line of mushroom-based moisturizers.

Is too much shower time bad for your skin? What a new study says
This study was conducted on eczema patients, and its good news for them

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last couple of years, you’ve probably read or heard a few things about the importance of our skin biome. It’s being compared in importance to our gut bacteria, which many researchers and scientists believe determines the strength of our immune system.
However, the rise of the skin biome has come with several unintended consequences. One is the idea that bathing too frequently or spending too much time in the shower weakens or damages the skin biome, but a recent study suggests that this might not be true at all.

This in-depth study was conducted on eczema patients
 
The fact that this study was conducted exclusively using eczema patients might seem like a good way to produce idiosyncratic results, but if you look at the details of the study, the struggles these people experience suggests a weaker skin biome that makes them ideal for this kind of test.
The Eczema Bathing Study was designed by people with eczema, together with researchers and healthcare professionals. Subjects were divided into two groups: Those who bathed or showered at least six times a week were classified as “daily bathing,” while those who showered or bathed once or twice a week were designated “weekly bathing.”
These people followed the same routine for four weeks, and they made no changes in their eczema routine, i.e., they used the same moisturizers and other skincare products to counter their condition. The amount of bathing is a vital variable for those struggling with eczema, and there were 438 people in the study, including both adults and children.
