Catherine’s Picks: Sensitive Skin Favorites for National Eczema Awareness Month
October is National Eczema Awareness Month, and as a mom and co-founder of Mission MightyMe, I know how overwhelming it can feel to navigate sensitive skin. Babies with eczema often need extra care, and the right products can make a big difference in keeping little ones comfortable.
That’s why I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite gentle, parent-approved finds from Target.com - all designed to soothe, protect, and support sensitive skin (inside and out!).
🌿 Roe Wellness Barrier Cream
This thick, nourishing barrier cream is a lifesaver for protecting delicate skin. It helps lock in moisture while shielding against irritation - especially helpful for dry patches that tend to flare with eczema. A little goes a long way, and I love that it’s fragrance-free.
💧 WaterWipes
Sometimes simple is best. WaterWipes are made with 99.9% purified water and just a drop of fruit extract, making them one of the purest wipe options out there. Perfect for diaper changes or quick clean-ups without the worry of harsh ingredients.
🍼 Honest Co. Head-to-Toe Ointment
This multipurpose ointment is like a comfort blanket for baby skin. Whether it’s dry cheeks, rough patches, or an extra layer of protection after bath time, Honest’s gentle formula helps seal in hydration from head to toe.
👶 Millie Moon Diapers
Soft, absorbent, and dermatologist-tested, Millie Moon diapers are made with sensitive skin in mind. They’re free from lotions, latex, and fragrances, so you can feel good about what’s against your baby’s skin all day (and night!).
🧴 Frida Baby DermaFrida
If you know, you know. The DermaFrida SkinSoother is like a tiny, gentle loofah made just for babies. It helps slough away dry skin and cradle cap during bath time without being harsh. Bonus: kids usually think it feels fun, too!
🥜 Mission MightyMe Nutty Puffs
For babies with eczema, what goes inside is just as important as what goes on their skin. Early, frequent introduction of common allergens like peanuts and tree nuts reduces the risk of developing a future allergy by up to 86%. That’s why we created Mission MightyMe Nutty Puffs - a baby-friendly, pediatrician-developed snack made to make allergen introduction safe, simple, and delicious. And now you can grab them at over 1,200 Target stores. (Find Your Local Target!)
Why These Picks Matter
Eczema can make everyday routines - like bath time, diaper changes, or even snack time - a little more challenging. Choosing products that are gentle, fragrance-free, and dermatologist-tested, plus making mindful food choices, helps support your child’s comfort inside and out.
This month, and always, I’m reminded that small changes in our daily routines can have a big impact on our little ones’ comfort and confidence. 💛
