“When your child has eczema, getting dressed can turn into yet another daily negotiation. As a mom who’s seen how the wrong fabric can mean hours of discomfort, I built Treehouse with kids like mine in mind, because clothes should never add to the struggle.”

The Reality of Eczema and Clothing

If you're reading this, you probably know the drill all too well. The midnight scratching sessions. The tears when certain clothes touch their skin. The constant vigilance over fabrics, detergents, and labels.

Eczema isn't just itchy skin. It's:

• Watching your little one struggle to focus because they're distracted by discomfort
• Explaining to well-meaning relatives why that adorable outfit they gifted is sitting unused
• The heartache of seeing angry red patches where there should be smooth, happy skin
• Those moments when your child asks, “Why am I so itchy when nobody else is?"

Regular kids' clothes can be eczema triggers in disguise. Those cute internal seams? They scratch. That standard cotton? Often processed with irritating chemicals. The snug elastic waistbands? They trap heat and moisture right where your child needs breathability most.

What Makes Our Eczema-Friendly Clothing Different

We didn't just make “soft clothes” and call it a day. Every piece in our collection addresses specific eczema challenges:

The Fabric That Changed Everything
Our organic cotton isn't just certified. It's selected specifically for its longer, smoother fibers that create less friction against inflamed skin. Parents tell us it feels different from the first touch, like the difference between sandpaper and silk against raw skin.

Smart Design That Prevents Flares
We've flipped seams to the outside where they can't scratch. We've eliminated tags (not just made them “tagless” with printed chemicals). We've created roomier fits in high-friction areas like elbows and knees where eczema typically flares.

Temperature Regulation That Breaks the Itch Cycle
Overheating is a major eczema trigger. Our fabrics breathe differently. They wick moisture away from hot spots and allow air circulation even in snug-fitting areas. This helps prevent the sweat-itch-scratch cycle that can turn bedtime into a nightmare.

Nothing Hidden, Nothing to Hide
Unlike many brands, we don't use optical brighteners, formaldehyde-based wrinkle resistors, or antimicrobial finishes that can irritate sensitive skin. What you see is truly what you get – just pure, clean fabric that lets skin heal.

Real Protection, Verified Safe

When your child's skin reacts to everything, you need certainty, not marketing claims. That's why we've secured both OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification (verifying freedom from harmful substances) and GOTS certification (ensuring organic integrity from field to finished garment).

These aren't just logos on our website. They represent hundreds of tests and inspections that give you the peace of mind I desperately wanted when searching for clothes that wouldn't hurt my own child's sensitive skin.

Our Eczema-Friendly Collection

Better-Than-Basic Tees
T-shirts are the daily workhorses of your child's wardrobe, reimagined with exterior flat seams and extra room in the crook of elbows where eczema loves to flare. The necklines won't stretch out, even with frequent changes during flare-ups.

Sleep-Saving Pajamas
Our organic cotton pajamas are designed after talking with countless parents about nighttime scratching. The looser fit prevents the fabric from clinging to hot spots, while the breathable weave helps maintain a cooler skin temperature that discourages itching.

Underwear That Helps
No more tears over waistbands! Our kids' organic cotton underwear features fully covered elastic that can't dig into sensitive skin, with a higher rise in the back to prevent irritation when sitting. The extra-soft panel in front means no more scratching in public places.

Bottoms That Don't Battle
Pants and shorts with thoughtfully designed waistbands that distribute pressure evenly instead of creating hot, irritated lines around your child's middle. The knee area has extra room to prevent the fabric from constantly rubbing against commonly affected areas.

Beyond Clothing: Giving Childhood Back

When a child has eczema, so much energy goes into managing discomfort that other parts of childhood can fade into the background. The right clothing doesn't just prevent pain, it creates space for joy, learning, and simply being a kid.

I still remember the first time my little one slept through the night after we switched to truly skin-friendly pajamas. It wasn't just about better sleep – it was about watching her personality bloom when she wasn't constantly distracted by discomfort.

That's what drives us at Treehouse Kids. Not just making clothes, but giving families back the moments that skin conditions can steal – from confident playground play to peaceful bedtime stories.

Caring for Your Eczema-Friendly Clothes

Simple care keeps these special pieces working their magic:

• Wash in cool water with fragrance-free detergent (we love Molly's Suds or Branch Basics)
• Skip fabric softeners – they leave a residue that can trigger flares
• Tumble dry on low or line dry in the shade for maximum softness
• Wash new items before first wear to remove any processing dust
• For stubborn stains, sunshine is nature's bleach and won't irritate skin
