Our Story

  • Sacrifice, struggle and a fight against eczema.

    Our story – my son’s and I – began with childhood eczema.
Take a look at any list of symptoms for this condition, and I can tell you – they don’t even come close.


    At 3 weeks, his skin wasn’t like your typical baby’s. It wasn’t smooth, soft or silky.
At three months, he was officially diagnosed with eczema.
At four months, it spread – from his cheeks, to his face, to his scalp, arms and legs.
At four months, two weeks, his entire body was covered – top to toe – his hair fell out.


    It was like wildfire. Unstoppable. Prescription after prescription – appointment after appointment, nothing helped, nothing even made so much as the slightest difference.

    Queue months of weeping scabs, continually cracked, angry skin, redness, rashes and raw, sore skin – his crying was almost non-stop. While other mothers are doing battle with a sleep routine – reading blogs, forums and pondering the input of friends and family, there are no manuals for coping with severe eczema.

  • An Exodus for Eczema

    Our story begins 9 years ago, with a mother and her 3-month-old son. From the top of his head, to the soles of his feet, cracked, weeping, sore scabs would be scratched to the point of bleeding.

    Those months were defined by little sleep, a lot of discomfort and many tried, tested and failed products – it would be one mother’s desperation that would mark the beginning of Shaloah Skincare.

    After months of trying products and doctor prescribed creams, paraffin and steroids were replaced with plants, herbs and flowers and science was traded for hours of experiments. Armed with optimism, a saucepan and some of nature’s simplest ingredients, she began concocting recipes in her kitchen.
