Children's skin is beautiful, soft, smooth and very sensitive

... in the USA, 8.6 million kids under 14 suffer from eczema or dermatitis



THE GOOD NEWS:

1. It's frustrating and irritating but NOT life threatening

2. In time, the majority of children will grow out of it

3. There is no scarring or permanent damage


In the meantime, perhaps we can help ...

We also want to tell you about the exederm challenge

We challenged a team of experts to develop a range of skincare products especially for the most sensitive of skin – including babies and young children with eczema or dermatitis

Our philosophy is simple – if it doesn’t need to be in the formula, take it out, if it has be in there then use the mildest ingredients

Too many children’s products contain unnecessary colors, fragrances and additives.

Sure it’s fun to have cartoons on the pack and bright luminous colored liquids that sparkle and bubble – but just think of the chemicals that have been added to create those effects !
We think its more important to make sure the product works and doesn’t sting or hurt
All of our packaging materials are phthalate and PVC free


Why take risks with a child's skin ?

Compare exederm to some famous brand names creams and lotions

The exederm 3 Step System

Step 1 : Repair the damage with exederm flare control cream

exederm flare control cream is America's ONLY parabens free hydrocortisone cream

Dermatologists consider 1% Hydrocortisone to be the "Gold Standard" for mild to moderate eczema or dermatitis

Several brands are available, BUT - they are not all the same, most are formulated for the average person with an insect bite, bee sting or poison ivy rash.

The 'base' cream to which the hydrocortisone active ingredient is added can often contain potential irritants such as parbens preservatives or unnecessary botanical additives

Putting a "Gold Standard" active ingredient into anything less than a "Gold Standard" base simply doesn't make sense. exederm flare control cream is formulated with a base thats actually designed for the highly sensitive skin of eczema and dermatitis sufferers

Step 2 : Maintain hydration with exederm intensive moisture cream

Experts agree that hydration is critically important for eczema, dermatitis or dry skin.

But for those with sensitive skin , this can be a difficult time as many moisturizers can irritate. Too many people rely on trial and error to find a a suitable moisturizer.

It's always surprising to see what is actually in some of leading brands, even children's products. And incredibly, there are no FDA regulations governing the use of the phrase "hypoallergenic" or "sensitive" anybody can use this on the label regardless of formulation.

exederm has focused on functionality rather than appearance. It's common sense to us. The objective is to hydrate the skin, we don't need colors or perfume to do that.

We have also avoided the temptation to use penetration enhancers found in many of the more expensive cosmetic moisturizers - they can cause too much irritation.

exederm intense moisture cream is fragrance free and comes as light non greasy cream to deeply moisturizes without clogging pores. Use it frequently to keep your skin soft and smooth.

Step 3 : Avoid trigger factors exederm cleansing wash

exederm vs leading 'sensitive'
skincare brands - wash products

Gently cleanse without SLS
Soap free - Sting free
Ultra sensitive formula

Often washes and cleansers are the worst 'villians' when it come to sensitive skin, many everyday products can be loaded with potential irritants. Including some of the best known baby and infant brands

SLS or SLES is the most common irritant - this is the ingredient that creates the foam or bubbles in cleansers or washes.

Dermatologists use SLS as a "positive control" in allergy patch tests - It's that irritating.

We don't think that sensitive skin needs bubbles or foam - It's just not worth the irritation. That's why exederm cleansing wash avoids SLS or SLES, color, perfumes and harsh parabens.

exederm gently cleanses without stripping away natural moisture and without leaving skin feeling 'tight' - a key to treating baby and childhood eczema
