My mother developed products to calm my atopic skin
Torhild & Amanda
Founders RÅ Skincare
Atopic eczema is personal to us at RÅ Skincare. I, Amanda, have lived with atopic eczema since childhood, and my sensitive and reactive skin has helped shape many of our products.
At the same time, we base our products on many years of professional knowledge. As As a skin therapist with over 17 years of experience, I have worked closely with skin and various skin conditions, while my mother, Torhild, has over 20 years of experience with formulation and product development. Together we combine knowledge of the skin with knowledge of ingredients and formulation – and our own experiences with atopic skin.
Fragrance-free skin care for atopic eczema
For us, skin care for atopic eczema is primarily about keeping the routine simple, strengthening the skin barrier and providing the skin with the moisture and lipids it lacks, while at the same time not containing ingredients known to trigger atopic eczema. -From my own experience, there are a multitude of both natural and non-natural ingredients that can trigger atopic eczema.
We collaborate with the Norwegian Psoriasis and Eczema Association to promote healthy skin and share knowledge about atopic eczema.
Before and after photo of a client with atopic eczema:
This before and after photo was taken by the client herself 12 days apart. The skin is softer, more supple and the redness is greatly reduced.
We are incredibly happy when you send us before and after photos, and it is extra fun when we get to share the photos so that others can also see the effects of the products.
A simple routine with cleanser , cream and balm – The simplest is often the best for eczema-prone skin.
Atopic eczema and the skin barrier
Atopic eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry, sensitive and often itchy skin. In atopic eczema, the skin barrier is weakened. This makes the skin lose moisture more easily and becomes more vulnerable to irritation and external influences.
That's why we have a special focus on ingredients that strengthen and protect the skin barrier, reduce moisture loss and soothe the skin.

These 3 products are all you need for your face
Step 1: Pure oil and antioxidants to cleanse
We recommend Pure Lipid Cleanser . This is the only cleanser that I, Amanda, can use daily to avoid eczema and dry skin on my face. It contains only pure lipids and antioxidants. Therefore, you can both cleanse away makeup, dirt and sunscreen and also apply it over your face cream to keep your skin moisturized longer.
Step 2: Moisture and barrier care
Supply the skin with moisture and lipids. Choose a cream according to how dry and sensitive the skin is right now. If you have breakouts (visible eczema) we recommend Favn extra nourishing cream . If you have eczema like me, but rarely breakouts anymore, you can use all of our face creams.
Step 3: Extra protection
On very dry and exposed areas, we like to use SOS Ceramide Balm as an extra protective layer to reduce moisture loss. This balm is a must over your face cream at night if your skin is flaky, red and sore. I have experienced firsthand, and have received feedback that this helps even the driest eczema skin.
