Foundation that repairs your barrier while providing gentle coverage
For family members with atopic dermatitis who need makeup that won't trigger flare-ups. Barrier-identical lipids, anti-inflammatory actives, and microbiome-safe formulation.
People with eczema face an impossible choice: hide visible rashes with makeup that makes them worse, or face social stigma without coverage. We're here to end that false dilemma.
Over 30 million people deal with eczema—itchy, inflamed, visible rashes that flare unpredictably. And society has opinions about it.
"What's wrong with your face?" "Is that contagious?" "Have you tried [unsolicited product]?" The questions are endless, the stares are real, and the professional consequences can be significant. People with visible skin conditions report discrimination in hiring, dating, and daily social interactions.
The standard advice? "Avoid makeup until it heals." But for chronic atopic dermatitis, "until it heals" might mean never. And even when you follow that advice perfectly, you're left dealing with:
So people try conventional makeup. And then:
Now they're dealing with worsening eczema and feeling guilty for "making it worse" by wanting to look normal.
Even products marketed for sensitive skin typically:
They're "less bad," but they're not actively healing. And for eczema, if you're not supporting barrier repair, you're part of the problem.
As a chemist, I looked at the dermatological literature on barrier dysfunction and asked: Why isn't anyone putting these ingredients in foundation?
Eczema Care isn't just "sensitive skin" makeup. It's therapeutic:
You shouldn't have to choose between visible eczema and worsening eczema. You deserve coverage that actively supports barrier healing—not just hides the problem while making it worse.
If you've been told to "just avoid makeup," we built this for you.
Even "hypoallergenic" formulas often contain preservatives, emulsifiers, and penetration enhancers that trigger reactions in compromised skin.
Most foundations deplete the barrier further with solvents and emulsifiers. They don't replenish the ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids eczema skin desperately needs.
Heavy oils and occlusive ingredients create an environment for pathogenic bacteria (especially S. aureus) to thrive, worsening inflammation.
Many cosmetics contain ingredients that are known inflammatory triggers: fragrances, certain preservatives, high-oleic oils, and alkaline pH.
Four therapeutic pillars designed around barrier science
We incorporate the same lipid ratios found in healthy skin:
Clinical-dose ingredients that calm the inflammation cascade:
Oil-free base that doesn't feed pathogenic bacteria:
Protective film that shields without suffocating:
