Is your skin itchy, dry, rough, or red — maybe even cracked? Or perhaps someone in your household struggles with these symptoms? The chances are high, as 20–30% of adults and 10–20% of children in Finland suffer from atopic skin.
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.
CBD – 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 CBD oil. Cannabidiol, 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 CBD Helps Atopic Skin: Key Benefits
We call CBD nature’s own multitasker, and for people with atopic skin, it’s a dream ingredient. We’ve tested our CBD 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 cannabidiol as the core ingredient in our products — its effects are genuinely impressive.
The calming effects of cannabidiol 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 CBD oil for atopic skin. It has no side effects.
All Blank& products contain CBD, but our facial oils have the highest concentrations. In our Amio and Evie facial oils, the CBD content is just under 10%, and in our Neo CBD 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.
