Eczema, dermatitis, atopic eczema – atopic dermatitis goes by several names. It is a common skin disease, predominantly in children, resulting in dry, itchy, scaly patches on the skin. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, “treatment and good skin care can alleviate much of the discomfort.”1
In this five minute video, I discuss the roles of filaggrin and staphylococcus aureus in skin health, some specific ingredients to avoid when formulating for consumers with atopic dermatitis, and how to create an emulsion for sensitive skin.

Hello Lucas
Very much enjoy watching your tutorials and encourage colleagues to also watch them.The formulas are great starting points to which they can add client specific ingredients.
I remember being told many years ago to increase the number of materials in many of my formulas to make the pack ingredient list more interesting and appear better value. I am so pleased to see minimalist approach making a comeback.
Look forward to watching more of the same.
Best Regards, Helen
Excellent and informative short video. It would be interesting to see formulations appropriate for oily skin, that will repair the skin barrier without being too heavy. I will now look to avoid Methylisothiazolinone, and check out the other ingredients you mentioned. Thank you!
Hy Lucas!

This is my teacher!
Congratulations Lucas
