Fitting
- Soothems® eczema sleepwear is designed to be worn tight fitting, but not restrictive. Check to make sure they are snug.
- Soothems baby and kids eczema treatment products are sized according to height and weight dimensions, not solely on age. Wear tight fitting. It is recommended that if there is any doubt about size selection, the next larger size should be chosen provided it will still fit snugly.
- Soothems, LLC does not accept returns of opened poly bag packages. Please visit www.soothems.com for sizing directions before placing your order.
Care
- Wash your Soothems eczema therapy garments prior to use following the care instructions: Machine wash in warm water (100F/ 38C); only non-chlorine bleach when needed; rinse twice to remove residual detergent; lay flat to dry and to avoid shrinkage.
- To keep Soothems eczema sleepwear looking new and fresh we recommend that you launder Soothems garments inside out and in a mesh lingerie/delicate laundry bag.
- Soothems eczema therapy garments can be washed over 40 times without significant degradation to functional performance if care instructions are followed.
- Many laundry detergents have harsh ingredients that can leave residual soap on fibers. We suggest using a non-bio mild, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, liquid detergent (Attitude Sensitive Skin Natural Baby Laundry, or All Free Clear, or Tide Free & Gentle, or Better Life Laundry Detergent, Unscented, Persil Pro Clean Power or the like) when laundering Soothems garments and rinse twice to remove all remaining residual soap before allowing to dry.
- Do not use fabric softeners or conditioners as these leave a coating on fibers that can reduce absorbency and breathability.
- For stubborn stains, create a mixture of baking soda, lemon juice, and vinegar (or plain water) into a paste for a natural, all-purpose cleaner and stain remover. Gently rub the paste into the stain and let soak overnight. Follow the normal care instructions to wash and rinse the remaining paste.
- Wash Soothems eczema treatment sleepwear after every use or as needed according to the care instructions.
Storage

Soothems® eczema treatment clothing is made from a proprietary skin smart eczema fabric called TEWLTect® that is comfortable and soothingly gentle to the irritated, sensitive skin. TEWLTect is a blend of high performance, environmentally sustainable cellulosic polymer fibers that are permanently encapsulated with tiny particles of Zinc Oxide. TEWLTect blends 60% TENCEL™, a lyocell fiber made from beech wood pulp embedded with Zinc Oxide; 35% TANBOOCEL®, viscose made from bamboo pulp; and 5% Creora® (latex free) spandex fibers.
TENCEL™, TANBOOCEL® and Creora® fibers, all the raw materials including the threads to stitch the seams, and the special inks used for the print pattern have individually been awarded the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, product class 1 for baby articles certification by TESTEX AG (the Swiss Textile Testing Institute) - an independent test and certification system for textile raw, intermediate and end products at all stages of processing - to ensure no harmful materials or chemicals have been used.
TEWLTect® SkinSmart fabric has also been fully tested in an independent laboratory to ensure full compliance with the CPSIA and REACH requirements for hazardous materials and child safety and the “normal usage” performance standards of the AATCC for wearing apparel.
Soothems eczema treatment sleepwear has also be tested negative (no allergic reaction/allergy free) using the Human Repeated Insult Patch Test (HRIPT) following the full Helsinki Protocol, validating they are hypoallergenic and safe for the most sensitive infant skin.
A special TENCEL™ fiber and when directly in touch with the skin acts as a moisturizer and skin protector, helps keep the skin elastic, and is proven to stimulate skin cell renewal and promote the natural healing process of irritated skin.
- Zinc Oxide is a completely safe hypoallergenic, that promotes natural healing by inhibiting bacteria growth on the skin.
- TENCEL™ embedded with Zinc Oxide is an excellent occlusive barrier that reduces itching and has antibacterial properties that resist odor development – and protects the skin from external irritant damage.
- TENCEL™ and TANBOOCEL® fibers are very comfortable to wear since they are symmetrically round, smooth, soft, pliable, and hollow making them thermoregulating and cool and comfortable for children suffering from eczema flare-ups.
- Zinc Oxide is incorporated into the TEWLTect® fibers through an encapsulation process that can never wear out or wash off.
- Zinc Oxide is clinically proven to be anti-inflammatory, soothing to the skin and even acts as a protective layer on the skin to lock in moisture – helping to relieve itchiness and contribute to the regeneration of healthy skin cells.
