Atopic eczema?

Understand the causes, relieve the symptoms and find the right skin care

We meet customers every day who share their stories of dry, itchy and irritated skin, and we know how difficult it can be to find a skincare routine that actually works. That's why we want to share our knowledge, care and practical tips.

Why do people get atopic eczema?

The causes of atopic eczema are many and often individual. Some common factors are:

Heredity – It is common for several people in the family to have eczema, asthma or allergies.

Weakened skin barrier – The skin loses moisture more easily and lets in irritating substances.

External factors – Cold climate, dry air, perfumed products or synthetic materials.

Internal factors – Stress, diet and hormones can affect the condition of the skin.


What can be done?

There is no universal solution – but it is possible to find balance and relief by:

  • Strengthen the skin barrier with softening and protective products.
  • Avoid triggers such as perfume, detergents, strong surfactants and stress.
  • Using the right products – gentle organic skin care without synthetic additives.
  • Nourish from within – drink water, sleep well, prioritize recovery and avoid an inflammatory diet if possible.

The 24/7 Sensitive Series is born - When a customer made a difference

When Johan and Anna-Lena, who founded c/o GERD, received an email from a customer, they felt that, well, now we have to do something about this. We had a fragrance-free product in our range at the time – many who had babies bought it and used it as an all-round product. The email we received was from a woman who had severe eczema on her hands and she had tried everything.
