Atopic dermatitis affects over a million Finns at some point in their lives, and the condition is partly hereditary. It is linked to irregularities in the immune system and the skin's structural properties. Environmental factors (such as allergens, stress, etc.) can make symptoms worse.
Why Traditional Atopic Skin Treatments Aren't Always the Best Choice
We Finns are an atopic nation, and pharmacy moisturizers and cortisone creams are familiar staples for many. Traditionally, those with atopic skin are advised to use exactly those products.
But what if you have atopic skin and want to use natural cosmetics? Pharmacy moisturizers are far from natural — they often contain synthetic and petroleum-based ingredients like paraffin, petroleum jelly, and silicones, as well as plastic-derived compounds that improve texture.
The problem with these ingredients is that they don't truly help the skin function better or feel healthier. Instead, they act more like temporary band-aids for symptoms — or may even make them worse.
Cortisone creams, on the other hand, should not be used for long periods. Prolonged use can cause skin thinning, dilated blood vessels, discoloration, and inflammation of hair follicles.
Plant Extract – A Natural Alternative for Atopic Skin
So what would be a solution that treats atopic skin without plastic-based ingredients, using raw materials that actually nourish the skin — not just cover up the symptoms, but address the deeper issues?
The answer lies in plant extract oil. Plant extract, derived from hemp, is naturally anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, moisturizing, soothing, balancing, redness-reducing, and sebum-regulating. Its benefits extend to nearly every skin type — especially atopic skin.
How Plant Extract Helps Atopic Skin: Key Benefits
We call plant extract nature's own multitasker, and for people with atopic skin, it's a dream ingredient. We've tested our facial oils with dozens of trial participants, and especially among those with atopic skin, we've received feedback about visible, positive changes. The most common customer reports include reduced redness, itching, and flaking. Similar results have been observed in scientific studies, which are listed at the end of this article. It's no coincidence we've chosen plant extract as the core ingredient in our products — its effects are genuinely impressive.
The calming effects of plant extract aren't limited to atopic skin — it can also benefit people with psoriasis and acne. We wanted to create a natural alternative to pharmacy moisturizers and cortisone creams, and we encourage you to try plant extract oil for atopic skin. It has no side effects.
All Blank& products contain carefully selected plant extracts, but our facial oils have the highest concentrations. In our Amio and Evie facial oils, the plant extract content is just under 10%, and in our Neo Oil Booster it's 20%. You can use Amio and Evie directly on your face, while Neo is designed for targeted application. You can either apply a few drops to areas with redness, itching, dryness or mix it into your own moisturizer.
You can find Amio, Evie, and Neo on the Blank& online store. As a tip: on each product page, you'll find reviews from others who have tried them.
