What Happens When You Remove the Triggers
Untoxicated was built to solve a specific problem: most skincare, including products made for sensitive skin contains the very ingredients most responsible for triggering reactions. These are the benefits that follow when you remove them.
Shop All Products →When you remove the triggers and replace them with clinically validated, barrier-supportive ingredients, skin is given what it has always needed but rarely received: an environment in which it can stop reacting and start recovering.
Benefits for Eczema
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting approximately 31 million Americans. Despite its prevalence, it remains widely mismanaged, in large part because many recommended products contain known contact allergens.
The Core Problem: A Compromised Barrier
In people with atopic dermatitis, genetic mutations ( particularly in the filaggrin gene) result in a barrier that is thinner, less lipid-rich, and more permeable than healthy skin.
- Moisture escapes more easily, producing chronic dryness and tightening
- Allergens, bacteria, and irritants penetrate more deeply, triggering disproportionate immune responses
- The immune system primes toward Th2-dominant inflammation, producing elevated IgE and cytokines including IL-4, IL-13, and IL-31
- Staphylococcus aureus colonization is more common, further disrupting the microbiome and amplifying inflammation
How Untoxicated Addresses Eczema
Many of the 128 allergens excluded by Untoxicated are particularly relevant to eczema sufferers. Studies consistently identify specific ingredients as disproportionately problematic, all removed from every Untoxicated formula.
Beyond removing triggers, Untoxicated formulas directly address eczema-prone skin's specific deficiencies, thus replenishing ceramides, restoring moisture, and supporting barrier repair.
Benefits for Dermatitis
Two distinct forms, allergic and irritant, both respond to Untoxicated's approach, for different but complementary reasons.
ACD is a Type IV hypersensitivity mechanism that requires prior sensitization. Reactions can be triggered by vanishingly small quantities of the offending substance once sensitization is established. Common skincare-derived causes include fragrances, preservatives, and botanical extracts.
Reactions typically appear 24–72 hours after exposure, making the trigger extremely difficult to identify. People with ACD frequently cycle through multiple product substitutions, unknowingly replacing one sensitizer with another.
Untoxicated's exclusion of all 128 documented contact allergens means it cannot trigger or worsen ACD through its ingredients. This is not a probabilistic claim, but rather a structural feature of how the formulas are built.
ICD is caused by repeated exposure to substances that degrade the skin barrier: harsh surfactants, solvents, alcohol, and preservatives. Extremely common in people who wash frequently or use multiple daily products.
Surfactant molecules penetrate the stratum corneum, interact with the lipid matrix, swell keratinocytes, and trigger inflammatory cytokine releasem thus producing chronic dryness, scaling, erythema, and fissuring.
Untoxicated addresses ICD at both the trigger and treatment levels, eliminating barrier-disrupting surfactants while actively replenishing the lipid matrix with ceramides and occlusives.
Benefits for Other Forms of Irritation & Inflammation
From rosacea to post-procedure recovery. The same allergen-free, barrier-first formula addresses a wide range of skin conditions.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by persistent flushing, erythema, and visible blood vessels. Many rosacea triggers are topical: fragrances, alcohols, and high-concentration actives. Untoxicated contains zero fragrance, no known sensitizers, and no chemical actives that provoke vascular responses. The ceramide and glycerin base also addresses impaired barrier function increasingly recognized as central to rosacea pathology.
The skin around the mouth and eyes is approximately 0.5mm thick versus 2mm on the cheeks, which is dramatically more permeable to allergens. Standard eye creams and lip moisturizers frequently contain fragrances, vitamin E, shea butter, and plant extracts, all of which are common allergens particularly problematic for thin-barrier zones. Untoxicated is safe for use on all of these areas.
An estimated 7 in 10 people self-report sensitive skin. When you eliminate 128 allergens from a daily skincare routine, the immune and barrier system is no longer under constant low-grade assault. Many users report that within 21 days of consistent use, their baseline skin reactivity decreases, not just to Untoxicated products, but broadly.
Skin that has recently undergone laser resurfacing, chemical peels, microneedling, waxing, or surgery has a temporarily compromised barrier with dramatically elevated permeability. Even ingredients tolerated by intact skin can provoke reactions. Untoxicated's minimal-ingredient, allergen-free formula is ideal for post-procedure use. Ceramides and petrolatum are standard recommendations in post-procedure skincare protocols.
Neonatal and infant skin has a barrier that is not yet fully mature meaning thinner stratum corneum, different lipid composition, and greater systemic exposure per surface area. Despite this, most baby skincare contains oat extract, fragrance, and botanical allergens clinically inappropriate for immature skin. Untoxicated is safe for all ages including newborns. This comes as a result of excluding 128 contact allergens and all EU-restricted cosmetic chemicals.
Many users report that within 21 days of consistent Untoxicated use, their baseline skin reactivity decreases. And, this is not just to our products, but broadly. When the barrier is allowed to repair, the immune system's hair-trigger response gradually recalibrates.
