What is Eczema?

Eczema is a skin condition that causes dry and itchy patches of skin. According to the National Eczema Society, it affects one in five children and one in ten adults in the UK. Atopic eczema causes skin to become itchy, dry and cracked, with periods of flare-ups that significantly impact confidence and quality of life.

What Triggers Eczema?

Eczema flare-ups can be caused by the soap you use, washing powder, temperature changes, stress, or unknown food allergies. Sometimes it runs in families and is associated with hay fever and asthma.

How Do I Treat Eczema?

For most people, eczema management lies within self-care — from stopping scratching to using daily emollient creams. Natural alternatives to steroid creams are increasingly popular, particularly ingredients that reduce inflammation at the source without long-term skin thinning.

Why Is Red Algae Good at Treating Eczema?

Red Algae is rich in nature's strongest antioxidant, Astaxanthin, and anti-inflammatories — and inflammation is a key cause of eczema. It helps to reduce inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and intensely moisturise — all key properties for treating eczema.

Why is the Recovery & Repair Gel the Best Moisturiser for Eczema?

The Recovery & Repair Gel is a daily, lightweight gel clinically tested for sensitive and eczema-prone skin. For deeper hydration, follow with the Moisturising Face Cream.
