Why do some women get eczema during pregnancy?
Hormonal changes in a woman's body during pregnancy can affect the skin. This can cause eczema, called pregnancy eczema, or it can worsen existing eczema. This can cause symptoms such as itching and redness as the skin becomes incredibly dry.
Effective eczema cream
There are different types of eczema. When choosing a cream for eczema during pregnancy, it is important to choose creams that are safe to use. In our webshop you can easily filter products by 'safe to use during pregnancy'. This way you can always check whether the eczema cream is suitable for use during pregnancy.
Reduce itching with the right ingredients
Ingredients such as glycerin, bisabolol and hyaluronic acid help soothe and moisturize the skin. This makes the skin less dry, reducing itching. Creams with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and chamomile are often free of fragrances, perfumes and other irritants, which is especially important during pregnancy. Choosing the right ingredients and products will help you achieve the best effect.
Bisabolol
Derived from chamomile. Works antiseptically, anti-inflammatory and healing. It counteracts redness and reduces and soothes skin irritations.
Glycerin
A true moisturizer for the skin, providing optimal protection against drying.
Hyaluron Acid
A thirst quencher for the skin. Softens fine lines and wrinkles and leaves skin looking smoother and plumper.
