Yeah, it's been known for a long time.

I mean, this paper just was kind of confirmation.

The other thing is, you know, soap.

Something as mundane as soap.

Well, what kind of soap do you use?

Well, I just use soap.

You know, what's available?

Well, soap is a detergent and it can deplete the skin of the natural oils that moisturize the skin.

And that can lead to, in anybody, dryness, especially in the winter, in itching.

And if you're genetically prone towards eczema, that can really get eczema going.

There's no law that says you have to use the harsh soap.

there are soap substitutes and there are moisturizers that have natural ingredients in them.

I'm going to mention a product.

There's a product, for example, called CeraVe, capital C-E-R-A, capital V-E.

This has a chemical in there called ceramide.

And ceramide is a chemical that everyone on the screen has on their skin right now to moisturize.

Eczema kids don't make enough ceramide.

So you buy a CeraVe moisturizer, cream or lotion, and put it on their skin.

You're replenishing their skin, and they also make a non-soap cleanser.

So you can use it just like liquid soap.
