TENCEL clothing is most likely the best option for your toddler and baby with eczema.
If your child has eczema, they’re not alone. 1 in 10 kids suffer from this common skin condition, also known as atopic dermatitis.
There are many factors that can cause your child’s eczema flare-up - from the weather, environment, allergies, what they eat, and even what they wear.
Comfort is key - the last thing you want is for your child’s clothes to be contributing to an (often times) painful skin condition.
Fabrics to avoid if your child has eczema include polyester, nylon, wool, most cotton blends, and chemically treated fabrics found in many flame retardant children’s pajamas.
Eczema friendly fabrics include 100% organic cotton, silk, bamboo viscose and the most superior and eco-friendly of them all – TENCEL, specifically Tencel Lyocell.
What is Tencel Lyocell
TENCEL Lyocell is an eco-friendly fiber sustainably developed by Austrian company Lenzing AG. It is a natural fiber derived from renewable wood pulp of trees. Its zero carbon footprint involves dissolving non-toxic organic solvent in a closed-loop process with more than 99% of the solvent being reused. Most fabrics, including bamboo viscose, are not sustainably produced and can take a toll on the environment during its manufacturing process.
Benefits of TENCEL for Children Eczema
BUTTERY SOFT - one of the softest fabrics your child will experience. Unlike other fibers, it will not chafe or cause friction against your child’s already sensitive skin.
HYPOALLERGENIC - it is naturally hypoallergenic - which means it is less likely to cause allergic reactions, which is very common for kids with eczema.
ANTI-BACTERIAL - babies and toddlers with eczema tend to scratch a lot, which can cause bleeding and open wounds - TENCEL has anti-bacterial properties, which inhibit the growth of bacteria.
BREATHABLE - it is breathable & cooling and therefore its temperature regulating qualities will help soothe your child’s burning skin during an eczema flareup.
Tangerine Rêve children pajamas are made from 94% TENCEL Lyocell and made for your child’s sensitive, eczema-prone skin.
