A small, family-built reference.

Eczemom is built by Amy and David. Amy is a parent in this exact audience — eczema-prone skin runs in her family, and she's spent years trying to navigate a dermatological world that seems to assume you've already done a chemistry degree.

When her kids' skin flared, the advice she'd find online kept pointing to ingredients that should have helped. Colloidal oatmeal, in particular, shows up on nearly every "best for baby eczema" list — and on her kids, it made things worse. You can find ingredient lists easily enough. What's harder is understanding what they mean, and harder still is figuring out what to do when something everyone calls gentle is making things worse for your specific kid.

When her son's dermatologist recommended a monthly injectable, Amy wanted to understand it well enough to decide for herself whether it was the right choice for her kid — what's in it, how it works, what the real complications are, what the long-term research says for children using it. The information existed somewhere, but finding it in plain English meant hours of pharmacy inserts, journal abstracts, and Reddit threads.

Eczemom is the reference Amy wishes she'd had: ingredient-by- ingredient, in plain language, with the research behind each call. It covers the everyday products eczema-prone skin meets at the drugstore — moisturizers, cleansers, body washes, OTC topicals. Prescriptions and biologics are conversations for your dermatologist. But the everyday questions — what's actually in the bottle, what the evidence really says, what to try when the conventional answer isn't working for your kid — that's the gap we built this for.

She picks the products that get reviewed, writes the guides, and gets final say on anything you see on the site. David builds the data pipeline, the scoring, and the engineering underneath.

We don't take money from brands. We use Amazon affiliate links so the site can pay for itself, but the affiliate decision happens after the score is computed — never before, never as input. The methodology page explains exactly how every score is built.

Eczemom is information, not medical advice. If you're navigating a flare or weighing a prescription, talk to your pediatrician or dermatologist — that's the part we can't replace.
