What is Eczema?
Eczema is a common skin condition, more prevalent in babies and young children than in adults, that's characterized by patches of dry, red, itchy skin and in severe cases can lead to itchy scaling and bleeding. Symptoms can often be managed, but it's something that many live with their whole lives.
Eczema can be caused by a number of different factors, including genetics, but what's common amongst all of them is that for people who suffer from eczema their skin may not produce as many fats and oils as others, which would normally act as a moisture barrier. As a result, the protective barrier of the outermost layer of skin isn't as effective at keeping environmental irritants and bacteria out and fighting them. For most, these irritants are synthetic substances that exist all around us, even in our clothing. What we can do to prevent an allergic reaction or eczema flare-up is to be mindful of what we expose ourselves to and to choose natural over synthetic, organic over not whenever possible.

Why choose Hypoallergenic Clothing?
The materials and the substances used in the production process of your clothing can be an eczema trigger and it’s therefore extremely important to be aware of the materials you wear. Some common fabrics known to cause a rash or a negative reaction include:
- Nylon
- Rayon
- Polyester
- Latex
Clothing made of eczema-friendly materials can help prevent irritation and reduce inflammation. Generally, looking for soft, breathable fabrics with moisture-wicking properties is your best bet.
What is TENCEL™ Modal?
TENCEL™ Modal is a newly developed natural fiber that's often used to make luxury clothing because of its incredible silky feel. Its other secret power is its ability to prevent eczema flare-ups and also help speed up the healing process by giving the skin relief and time to breathe, rebuild its moisture barriers and heal.
The fibers used in Just Peachy's Feel Good Underwear is not only sourced from the only producer that harvests from FSC-certified forests, but is traceable from fiber to garment with Oeko Tex certification to ensure quality and your child's safety.

TENCEL™ Modal for Eczema
What makes TENCEL™ Modal ideal for eczema-prone skin? The most obvious benefit is how incredibly soft and gentle it feels on the skin, particularly eczema-prone skin that's sensitive to chafing. Just Peachy's kids underwear goes the extra mile in leveraging TENCEL™'s Micro Technology to produce an even finer, softer fabric than ever before.
Another benefit of TENCEL™ Modal is its antibacterial properties, meaning it can inhibit the growth of bacteria, another common cause for flare-ups especially in humid climates where they thrive, and can lead to infection. This is why moisture-wicking fabrics is so important.

Finally, TENCEL™ Modal is also naturally itch suppressing, which is a huge benefit as itchiness is the most prevalent symptom. Itchiness is especially hard for young children, dressing them in cool, soft, moisture-wicking clothing day and night can help relieve symptoms. In fact, nighttime is when the little ones need itch relief the most for a good night's sleep.
