Have you found it difficult to heal from skincare alone? Tried numerous eczema creams, ointments, and balms for eczema therapy with no results or worse - ended up with an eczema flare-up? Or maybe you see relief, but you are looking for more? Did you know that proper clothing for eczema can help speed up your healing journey? Discover the reasons why you should try eczema clothes today.
Soothing Materials in Eczema Clothes
When looking for clothing, both as a treatment or everyday clothing, it's important to take note of which materials and dyes might be used. Effective eczema clothes should use soothing materials and fibers that are both hypoallergenic and made for sensitive skin. It's always best to avoid clothing that contains synthetic fibers such as nylon and rayon.
Make sure to also check out the type of dyes used in the clothing. Many types of clothing (even those that are made for the eczema community) might contain chemical stamped prints or industry-standard dyes that can be hurtful to eczema-prone skin. Not at all what you need for eczema therapy.
Opting for eczema clothes such as those with organic cotton, biodegradable bamboo and TENCEL can be extremely beneficial for eczema. It's also important to look out for certified organic, certified pesticide-free or OEKO-TEX-certified materials.
All the clothing we source is carefully chosen with fragile eczema skin in mind. Browse our full collection of gentle eczema clothing. Or shop for babies and kids. Or for teens and adults.

Overnight Relief
Healing eczema is one thing, but finding overnight relief can be almost a headache. Did you know that eczema can be more itchy at night because body levels of cortisol peak overnight? Not being able to sleep because of relentless scratching or pain can cause even more stress, which we all know - can cause eczema. Its such a vicious cycle.
For overnight eczema therapy and relief for itching, eczema clothes can be incredibly soothing if you use the right material. In fact, Remedywear's blend of TENCEL and zinc has been clinically proven [1] to reduce the severity of atopic dermatitis, reduce itchiness and improve quality of sleep when work overnight for three consecutive nights. For more information, check out these zinc and eczema benefits.
Scratch Protection
Not only do eczema clothes offer soothing results and overnight relief, but they can also act as a scratching barrier for both kids and babies.
If you and your little one experience sleepless nights due to uncontrollable scratching, then you might want to look into covering up the body with specialty eczema clothing and as well as hands overnight to ensure they don't scratch their skin raw. Check out our Remedywear hand dermatitis gloves and mittens.
Wet and Dry Wrapping
If wearing eczema clothes alone is not providing enough relief, why not boost the results with wet wrap therapy and dry wrap therapy. These processes involve using an emollient under wet or dry clothing to help the treatment penetrate the skin faster. Note that steroids should never be used in either wet wrapping. Always consult with a doctor before adopting a new form of eczema therapy.
When wet wrapping, TENCEL is the clear winner in terms of moisture-wicking abilities and breath-ability of fibers. And remember the benefits over cotton and silk mentioned above? Those advantages will especially beneficial when dry or wet wrapping the skin. Another reason why we love Remedywear and you will too!
