Eczema Friend is a fragrance-free rash cream, formulated to soothe, deeply hydrate and relieve mild eczema and dermatitis, itchy skin and red skin rashes.
Price was AU $60, now almost half price, to help itchy families get the soothing skincare they need.
Benefits: Relieves itchy skin, red skin rash and mild eczema and dermatitis, supports TSW recovery, and can be used on all types/severity of rashes. Use Eczema Friend to support the skin barrier when tapering off from topical steroids (ask us how!). 100% steroid-free rash cream.
It's The Itch Buster you'll wish you had tried first.
Suitable for sensitive skin, itchy skin, all types of red skin rashes such as eczema, dermatitis and TSW, combination skin, flaky/dry skin and normal skin. For all ethnicities and ages including babies, children, teens, adults and during pregnancy.
Wash and dry your hands and apply the moisturiser on your eczema, dermatitis and itchy skin 2-4 times per day or when needed. Also apply it after bathing to help restore skin pH.
Its hero active—5% dexpanthenol, a provitamin the skin converts into vitamin B5—is included at a clinically proven strength shown to enhance barrier repair and reduce inflammation (Cho, 2022). Research shows 5% dexpanthenol may be comparable to 1% topical hydrocortisone cream for relieving mild-to-moderate eczema symptoms (Udompataikul, 2012). Lactic acid
supports healthy skin pH and gentle skin cell turnover for smoother skin. Organic camellia seed oil, mango seed butter and castor seed oil nourish skin. Contains glycerin for barrier care.

FAQs
Yes, Eczema Friend is 100% steroid-free. It does not contain any medical drugs. Eczema Friend contains provitamin B5 and natural oils to soothe skin.
Avoid essential oils, fragrance, olive oil, parabens, PFAS and benzoates. Also avoid food-based ingredients commonly used in beauty products, including goat's milk, avena sativa (oat), coconut oil and almond oil – because they may increase the risk of developing food allergies (ref #1).
Moisturisers prevent skin dryness by providing hydration and sealing in moisture. Eczema creams go further: they're usually formulated with active ingredients that may provide eczema relief. At Skin Friend, we combine both benefits in one: Eczema Friend helps to enhance skin hydration plus it contains a scientifically-proven active ingredient to relieve symptoms of mild eczema, dermatitis and itchy skin.
No. Eczema Friend does not stain clothes or sheets or smell bad. Eczema Friend is completely scent-free and invisible on your skin. You'll love it and no one will know you are wearing it.
PFAS are synthetic "forever chemicals" found in waterproof clothing, waterproof cosmetics and can be hidden in skincare by accidental contamination, and they're especially concerning for babies and children with sensitive or eczema-prone skin. Research suggests certain PFAS exposures may be associated with childhood eczema and other allergic conditions (Luo, 2020), which is why avoiding them matters when skin is sensitive. That's why Eczema Friend is independently tested and certified PFAS-free — so you can reduce unnecessary chemical exposure and feel confident you're choosing a safer, gentler option for you or your child's skin. See our PFAS blog here.
Yes, Eczema Friend is safe for daily use, especially on your face and around your eyes, because it's formulated with gentle ingredients and tested on sensitive skin.
Yes, Eczema Friend is safe to use on babies and during pregnancy, because it is carefully formulated. It's free of PFAS, parabens, sulphites, nut oils and fragrance (parfum), making it a suitable choice for all ages and skin types.

"Great to know this is available and I have recommended to friends/colleagues who have eczema. My skincare rituals are the 24 hour rescue and wonder zinc. I used wonder zinc daily after having recent skin cancer treatment. Two months later the redness & scars are healing nicely. I have every confidence in your products Karen and it is nice to streamline my skincare routine knowing the care and research that is behind each product. Thank you."
"love these samples - have been sharing with others. the newest cream sample was so nice to try before buying a big bottle"
This cream has totally taken away my eczema itch! Even during a very harsh and cold winter, which usually worsens my symptoms, it has kept my legs and face protected and itch free. It’s been a huge relief. I’m very grateful.
Eczema Friend is exactly what I need to soothe my skin. All the itchiness/prickly-ness goes away. I like how light it feels when I apply it. Sometimes I use it on my face as well.
Love this cream, calms down my flared skin. Applying morning and night and it seems to be working… now I don’t scratch all day!
I have eczema on my eyelids which became very sore, red and with flaky, dry skin. Eczema Friend is the only therapy that has been able to provide me with longer-term relief.
