Collection: For people with atopic dermatitis

Atopic (= allergic) dermatitis, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammation of the skin that usually occurs in bouts. In Central Europe , 10-15% of children and 2-5% of adults suffer from it. It is now the most common childhood skin disease in this area. Atopic dermatitis typically appears from the third month of life onward. It usually goes away over the years. However, many people struggle with problematic skin throughout their lives, partly caused by the long-term effects of cortisone use. You can find out more about atopic dermatitis in our blog .

All KAMI products can be used both for acutely irritated skin and for basic care between flare-ups . Unlike standard cortisone therapy, KAMI strengthens the skin barrier with high-quality linoleic and linolenic acids. At the same time, the corticosteroids it contains soothe the skin.

Our products are suitable for adults and children/babies from 3 months old. They serve as an alternative and complement to cortisone treatments. If you suffer from atopic dermatitis, our atopic dermatitis starter kit is the ideal starting point.

The starter set includes KAMI SOS Skin Care Oil, which is best used for acute eczema; it contains the highest concentration of natural anti-inflammatory agents. If the skin is itchy or very dry—which can occur, for example, as a result of crusting during the healing phase—apply KAMI SOS Skin Care Balm. We also recommend KAMI SOS Skin Care Balm for facial care—e.g., for perioral dermatitis. It adheres better to the skin and therefore doesn't "creep" into the eyes as easily, for example.

Users also report positive experiences with the balm for itching caused by allergies or atopic dermatitis, or itching associated with dyshidrotic eczema and lichen sclerosus in the intimate area.

No matter what you're using KAMI products for, please test a product on a small area first. If no adverse reactions occur within the next 24 hours, you can use the products without hesitation.

In acute cases , KAMI SOS Skin Care Oil should be applied at least three times a day to skin, preferably slightly damp. Especially for babies or children, the oil can be mixed directly into the bathwater (together with 1-2 tablespoons of base powder if needed). This prevents any burning sensation on the skin upon initial application, and the child already gets oiled when they get out of the bath – as many children don't like their sore areas touched. A daily bath for acute eczema is also recommended for adults.

For basic care between flare-ups and to delay them as much as possible, apply the oil directly to your skin once or twice a week, or mix it into your body lotion or face cream, which you already use several times a week or daily. For after-shower care, you could also use the KAMI 2-Phase Care Spray.
