Atopic dermatitis arises from the interplay of various factors. These include a hereditary predisposition, a compromised skin barrier, a hypersensitive immune system, and external stimuli such as allergens, stress, climate, or environmental factors. As a result, the skin loses moisture more easily, reacts more sensitively to stimuli, and inflammation and itching can occur.

The skin barrier is weakened. Irritants and allergens can penetrate more easily and trigger inflammation. As a result, the nerve endings in the skin become hypersensitive and send constant itching signals to the brain. The natural reflex is to scratch. However, scratching further damages the skin, intensifies the inflammation - and the itching becomes even stronger. A vicious cycle that prevents the skin from calming down.

The shower+ salt shower was specifically developed for sensitive and dry skin. With a mild salt concentration of around 0.5% in the shower water, it creates a hypoosmolar solution that supports your skincare routine. Regular use can help reinforce the skin barrier, improve moisture retention, and interrupt the itch-scratch cycle. shower+ focuses on gentle dosing and effortless integration into your daily routine.
