A healthy gut supports healthy skin

The skin and gut microbiomes are made up of microbes that live on your child’s skin and in their gut. Both are crucial for skin health and can influence the risk of developing eczema.

If you’ve tried addressing your child's skin rashes or eczema with creams but it doesn't help, their gut microbiome might be the key.

Eczema can happen for many reasons

Genetic predisposition

Many children with eczema have a family history of eczema, asthma, or allergies.

Weakened skin barrier

A faulty skin barrier makes it harder to retain moisture and protect against irritants, leading to inflammation.

Overactive immune system

The immune system of children can overreact to common environmental triggers (like dust, pollen, or certain soaps), causing redness and itching.

Environmental triggers

Things like harsh soaps, dry air, sweating, allergens, and certain fabrics (like wool) can worsen eczema symptoms.

Gut bacteria imbalances

This can make a child more sensitive to triggers, weaken the skin barrier, and make the immune system overactive

“Within a few weeks his eczema was completely cleared.”

"The great thing about Alba is that it’s based on science. You’re not guessing or relying on generic advice. The insights are personal, and the steps are easy to follow. We started diversifying Timo’s meals more and added yogurt, berries, and fermented foods. Within a few weeks, his eczema disappeared. Eight months later, it still hasn’t come back.”
