Itch Less. Sleep Better. Dress with Confidence. Living with eczema, psoriasis or sensitive skin isn’t just about managing symptoms. It’s about trying to get a decent night’s sleep, feeling confident in what you wear, and avoiding the next unpredictable flare-up. Whether you're dressing a child who can’t bear itchy seams, trying to find relief for your own sore skin, or simply looking for better comfort day to day, what you wear matters—a lot more than most people realise. Why Fabric is Often the Missing Piece We’re increasingly mindful about what goes on our skin—fragrance-free creams, gentle cleansers, and plant-based laundry detergents. But few stop to consider what’s rubbing against it all day long. For people with eczema, psoriasis, allergies or sensitive skin, clothing can make or break your skin health. Eczema Clothing’s own surveys have confirmed that over 50% of people with skin conditions experience: ·      Severe itching and broken skin from scratching ·      Disrupted sleep caused by sore, broken skin discomfort or heat ·      Irritation from seams, elastic, or synthetic fibres ·      A constant fear of triggering flare-ups And still, most high street clothing just doesn’t consider these issues. That’s why at Eczema Clothing  we do things differently. The Skin-Safe Fabric Formula: What Works and Why Clothing should support skin healing—not make it worse. That’s why we champion natural fibres, especially 100% organic cotton, for their proven skin-calming benefits: ·      Breathable and cooling – Helps regulate body temperature and reduce flare-ups ·      Soft and gentle – Soothes rather than aggravates sore, broken or reactive skin ·      Hypoallergenic – Minimises risk of allergic responses and irritation ·      No harsh chemicals – Grown and processed without synthetic pesticides or dyes ·      Durable and easy to wash at high temps – Washing at 60°C removes dust mites, creams, allergens and bacteria (unlike lower temperatures) Other natural options include silk (luxuriously soft but delicate), bamboo (moisture-wicking), and Tencel (smooth and breathable)— but generally these can only be washed at lower temperatures and may use chemicals in their manufacture. Not all “natural” equals skin-friendly e.g. wool can irritate and feel coarse on sensitive skin. It’s about choosing fabrics that truly work with your skin—not against it.     These benefits aren’t just theoretical. In a survey of over 350 Eczema Clothing customers 98% said our garments help them manage eczema and sensitive skin and over 75% (3 in 4) of customers said our clothes help reduce itching. Read Survey Results here At Eczema Clothing, we’ve built our range around the materials that truly work—not just for occasional use, but for daily, comfortable, long-lasting wear. Thoughtfully Designed for Real Life Our garments don’t just use better fabrics—they’re designed better too.
