October is Eczema Awareness Month
Eczema Awareness Month highlights what it’s really like to live with eczema and how small, everyday choices like what you put on your skin can make a real difference.
At Hanni, we’re proud that two of our best-sellers, The Fatty and Splash Salve Fragrance-Free, have earned the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance™. This recognition means they meet the strictest standards for sensitive, eczema-prone skin — and it’s a reflection of our commitment to creating clean, effective formulas that provide real relief.
Why Eczema Awareness Month Matters
Eczema affects more than 31 million Americans, and it’s much more than just dry skin. It’s a chronic condition caused by a weakened skin barrier, which allows moisture to escape and irritants to get in. The result is dryness, itchiness, and inflammation that can affect your day and your sleep.
Moisturizing consistently is one of the best ways to support the skin barrier, but not all moisturizers are created equal. That’s where the NEA Seal of Acceptance™ comes in.
What the NEA Seal of Acceptance™ Means
The Seal helps people with eczema quickly identify products that are safer for sensitive skin. To qualify, products must:
-
Be fragrance-free (no added scent, natural or synthetic)
-
Avoid known irritants and allergens listed on NEA’s Ecz-clusion List
-
Pass clinical testing for sensitivity and irritation
-
Be reviewed by an independent panel of dermatologists and allergists
Only products that meet these standards earn the Seal, making it a trusted guide for anyone with sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
The Fatty
An omega-rich moisture stick that glides on anywhere, anytime. Its concentrated formula delivers skin-replenishing fatty acids to nourish, protect, and restore moisture.
Why it’s great for eczema: Portable, targeted, and deeply emollient — it reinforces the barrier exactly where you need it most (like elbows, knees, and hands).
NEA-Accepted: Free from fragrance and known irritants, made with clean ingredients that calm and comfort flare-prone skin.
Splash Salve Fragrance-Free
Our cult-favorite in-shower body balm, now fragrance-free and NEA-accepted.
How it works: Apply it while skin is still wet, when it can absorb hydration best. The whipped balm melts into skin, sealing in moisture before you towel off.
Why it’s great for eczema: Delivers deep, long-lasting hydration that helps restore the skin barrier and keeps dryness from returning. No added fragrance, no greasy residue — just real relief for sensitive skin.
