Questions about the product
Which product is right for me?
Which product is right for me?
If you suffer from eczema or atopic dermatitis, it's best to start with the SOS Skin Care Oil. It's the most intensive and penetrates the deepest. If your skin is flaky and very dry, use the SOS Skin Balm as a second product, ideally applied over the oil.
If you find oil unpleasant or too greasy, use the balm. It's also very soothing on its own, especially for redness and flaky skin, or when your skin is very itchy.
The two-phase spray is ideal for large-area application, such as the body and dehydrated skin, as it contains aloe vera. You can also use it on the scalp in combination with a medicated shampoo.
Anyone with dry, sensitive skin should use pH-neutral, moisturizing, and soap-free products when washing their hands, body, or face. Our cleansing fluid is therefore suitable for everyone.
You may find help in deciding on the right product for you in this video with Dr. Kerstin Schallaböck.
How often do I need to use KAMI?

KAMI SOS Skin Care Oil should be applied at least twice a day initially, but preferably three to four times a day. After about three weeks, a one-week break is recommended.

The SOS skin care balm can be used as needed, either 1-2 times a day or when the skin is itchy, tight or dry.
The 2-phase spray and the washing fluid can be used as often as desired, but for best care results, use twice a day or with every cleaning.
How do I use KAMI correctly?
How do I use KAMI correctly?
SOS skin care oil:
Try KAMI products first on intact skin. If no adverse or allergic reactions occur, you can use KAMI without hesitation and apply it to the affected, slightly damp areas. To do this, simply drop the required amount from the pipette into your palm and gently pat it in. If your skin is very dry, the oil can be absorbed quickly; you may want to repeat the application several times.
In the case of acutely irritated skin, several applications daily are recommended for the first few days. After three weeks, take a one-week break. After the flare-up, or once the skin has recovered, KAMI should be used repeatedly to strengthen the skin barrier: For basic skin care, apply directly to the skin several times a week or add it to a cream, body lotion, or bath water.
SOS Skin Care Balm:
With clean hands, take a small amount from the jar and apply it to the irritated areas several times a day. Ensure the area is well covered, but not too thickly.
Atopic dermatitis: The combination of shea butter and KAMI SOS oil provides lasting soothing relief for atopic dermatitis skin. When used in combination with the SOS skin care oil, apply the oil first and then the balm.
Lips and runny noses: Ideal for the care of dry lips, open corners of the mouth, reddened and open nostrils.
Scars: For massage during scar care.
2-phase care spray:
Application on the body: Shake well and spray onto the affected areas from a distance of approx. 5-10 cm.
For facial use: Shake well and spray into the cupped hand, then apply.
Washing fluid:
Upon contact with water, the fragrant gel transforms into a mild, milky wash emulsion that spreads easily and envelops the face and body in a soothing fragrance. The first use requires frequent pumping. The product is very economical.
Washing hands: Apply one pump to wet hands, rub in, and rinse.
Face: 1-2 pumps are sufficient for the face. The product can be applied neat to the face – this is the best way to remove makeup – or mixed with a little water beforehand. It's also suitable as the first step in a double cleansing routine.
Bathing or showering: Mix approximately 5-10 pumps in the bath or apply directly to damp skin while showering.
Roll-on:
Apply the oil directly to the affected areas using the roll-on.
Can I also use KAMI for my baby?
Can I also use KAMI for my baby?
Yes, KAMI products are also suitable for babies.
However, allergies to an ingredient can always occur, especially with natural products. Therefore, always test on healthy skin first to see if there is any intolerance. If there is no redness, you can use the product on your child.
In this video , Dr. Kerstin Schallaböck explains what to consider when using it on babies and toddlers.
Can KAMI also be used on the scalp?
Can KAMI also be used on the scalp?
Yes, our KAMI 2-Phase Spray is suitable for scalp application: Shake the spray, spray it close to the scalp, and massage it in. After a contact time of approximately 10-15 minutes (or overnight), wash your hair with a gentle medicated shampoo.
Can I use KAMI together with my cortisone creams?
Can I use KAMI together with my cortisone creams?
In acute attacks, it is advisable to continue cortisone therapy for the period recommended by the doctor without using other products.
However, when tapering off medication, KAMI can be used as a supplement 1-3 times daily to support the skin barrier. Start by using KAMI once daily instead of cortisone, and replace each subsequent cortisone application with KAMI after a few days.
How quickly does KAMI work?
How quickly does KAMI work?
The skin needs around 28 days to renew itself from the base. This is when newly formed skin cells migrate to our skin's surface. Therefore, you'll likely not see initial results until after this period.
