What is Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)?

  • A condition that affects the skin, it is recurring and is one of the most common conditions affecting 1 in 5 children.
  • Characterized by a red, inflamed rash that could be either dry and scaly or wet and weeping, the person usually experiences an intense constant itching on the area affected.
  • It tends to make its first appearance during infancy approximately 2-6 months of age and starts on the face, behind the knees, behind the ears or on the elbows. Some people may have it all over their body.

What causes Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)?

  • Research is finding that genetics play a major role in the development of eczema, if one parent has either eczema, asthma or hay fever then the child has a 30% chance of developing eczema. If both parents have either of these conditions then the child's chances can increase to 50-80%.
  • Another factor playing a major part in the development of eczema in babies is an impaired skin barrier. When the skin is exposed to potential irritants it can breakdown the stratum corneum (skin barrier) which is responsible for keeping potential irritants out and keeping water in.

What triggers Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)?

  • Certain chemicals used in house hold and personal care products including baby skin care such as soap, surfactants (bubble baths), washing powders, fragrances, preservatives, essential oils
  • Woollen clothing
  • Prolonged swimming in a chlorinated pool or salt water
  • Food sensitivities – dairy, wheat, eggs, nuts, seafood, soy
  • Food additives, preservatives, food colourings
  • Stress E.g.: in babies this could be teething
  • Dust mites, moulds, grasses, pollens, some plants, animal hair, tobacco smoke, sand
  • Exposure to heat and cold conditions such as changes in weather or use of heaters and air conditioners

Is there a cure for Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)?

  • There is no known cure for eczema - Eczema treatment aims at observation, assessment and management of the condition.

How to Care for your Child's Skin

  • Before applying any product to your child's skin always patch test.
  • Keep your child's skin moisturized and hydrated to minimize itching and dryness by using an emollient moisturiser that is completely unscented. This means no essential oils and no synthetic fragrances.  Apply this to your child's skin at least 4 times per day.
  • Medical Research has shown that by following this procedure the incidences and severity of an outbreak are significantly reduced.
  • When applying your cream apply in downward strokes e.g. from shoulder to wrist the reason for this is skin is already inflamed by going against the hair growth the skin can become further inflamed and infection may develop.
  • Avoid chemicals and fragrances on your child's skin the fun of a bubble bath can be the worst trigger for a baby's eczema.
  • Maintain moisture in the skin by using a humidifier as it keeps the air moist
  • Keep bath time to warm not hot water and short baths no longer than 5 minutes
  • Pat skin partially dry and apply emollient cream to skin within 3 minutes to help lock in moisture.

What else can I do to help my child's Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)?

  • Become educated, talk to your family doctor or child health specialist to properly diagnose the problem.
  • Get in touch with organizations such as the Eczema Association of Australasia who are a wealth of information.
  • You will also find further information and tips at www.naturewithin.com.au

Skin Safety & Patch Testing


Even though a product is natural and organic this doesn't mean that allergies won't occur. For example Lavender and Chamomile are 2 of the most widely used and researched herbs in the world,  they have been around for centuries and contain many medicinal properties based on scientific research, while generally considered safe they have been known to cause mild to severe allergic reactions in very sensitive individuals. Reactions from dermatitis to respiratory issues, usually this is due to a chemical component in the plant that the individual is extremely sensitive to. This is why patch testing is always important before the use of any skin care product regardless of the claims made by the manufacturer as everyone is different.

 

How to patch test


For children use a small area on the upper back to shoulder, approx 3cms in size or 1 inch.


Little hands can't reach this area and it will be easy for you to assess for a reaction.


Usually a reaction can occur straight after the application of the product but this isn't always the case. If a reaction doesn't occur continue applying the product a few times over a 24 hour period in case of a delayed reaction.

 

What to check for


Usually the first signs of a reaction are redness, itching, burning, welts or blistering. If these symptoms should occur flush the skin immediately with cold water and discontinue using the product.


Baby's should always be rinsed after a bath so all traces of bath wash are removed from the skin and reducing the chances of irritations occurring.

 

Nature Within Baby Skin Care Brochure

 

Thank you for choosing Nature Within baby skin care, The "Bath to Bed" concept was developed as a result of both my children developing eczema as very young babies.


Paediatric research has shown that a baby's skin is 5 times thinner than an adult, this means their skin is very sensitive and is able to absorb potential irritants very easily. A baby's skin also loses water faster than an adult so dry skin can occur very quickly which can lead to skin irritations and baby eczema.


Nature Within baby skin care products contain skin nurturing oils such as Avocado, Evening Primrose, Calendula Oil and Shea butter, ingredients that are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals to help soften, soothe and protect your baby's skin.
The range does not contain synthetic fragrances or essential oils, making it completely aroma free which is best for baby's skin.


Research has shown that bonding between mother and baby is promoted through smell. When considering this information the only real fragrance a mother and baby need is each other.


 As Eczema now affects 1 in 5 children, we have ensured Nature Within Baby Skincare are free from the following:

  • Artificial colours, fragrances and essential oils
  • Petrochemicals and mineral oils
  • Sulphate surfactants and paraben preservatives
  • Pesticides and fertilizers

Nature Within baby skincare products are not tested on animals and we only use recyclable packaging.


By using natural, organic products we not only care for ourselves, but we also protect our environment by reducing dependence on non-renewable resources and aiming towards sustainability.


Our natural organic baby skin care products are made in Australia in a TGA manufacturing laboratory under strict sterile conditions, so you can be rest assured that the organic baby products you purchase have undergone strict quality control practices.


We hope you enjoy the Nature Within natural, organic baby skincare and sleep wear range .

Your Baby's Skin

 

NEW-BORN BABY'S SKIN TO 2 YEARS OF AGE

 

Skin is the body's largest organ. A new born baby's skin is fragile; this is because the skin barrier function on a baby is not yet fully developed and is 5 times thinner than an adult's.


HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOUR BABY?

 

Our skin barrier helps to keep water in and potential irritants out, but because a baby's barrier is not yet fully developed, babies are more vulnerable to these potential irritants which upset the barrier balance and lead to dry, irritated skin or baby eczema.


SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR YOUR BABY

 

Newborn baby skincare routine to one month of age

 

Babies do not need daily bathing as this can further damage the protective skin barrier; bathing 2 to 3 times a week is plenty.

 

The following are some helpful tips when bathing your baby;

  • Use lukewarm water, and keep bath time to a maximum of 5 minutes
  • The vernix should be left to absorb naturally as this is a natural emollient for your baby's skin.
  • Do not use sponges or face washers as the friction can irritate the skin. Use soft cotton cloths or balls, better still
    use your hands to wash baby, do not rub the skin
  • Pat baby's skin dry with a soft cotton towel, do not rub.
  • Dress baby in breathable materials like cotton or bambo clothing that has been washed in hot water with no
    fabric softener or perfumed washing powders.
  • Always wash baby's hands, face and bottom with plain water in between bath days
Baby skin care routine from one month of age

 

You can introduce a very small amount of baby bath and continue bathing 2 to 3 times a week.

  • Use a bath product that is soap free, fragrance free and low foaming whether it be a bath wash or bath oil that is suitable for sensitive skin.
  • Apply emollient, moisturiser within 2-5 minutes to lock in moisture and prevent dryness this will also reduce baby eczema flare ups.
