Help Protect Your Child's Sensitive Skin Naturally

The DermaSilk® Unisex Children's Long Sleeve Shirt with Cuffs is a medically developed garment designed to help children living with eczema, atopic dermatitis, allergic skin conditions and sensitive skin. Made from medical-grade knitted silk, this long sleeve shirt provides continuous comfort while helping to reduce itching, scratching and skin irritation throughout the day and night.

Unlike ordinary silk clothing, DermaSilk has been specially engineered for medical use. It combines naturally breathable silk with AEM 5772.5 antimicrobial technology, helping inhibit bacterial and fungal growth on the fabric without releasing chemicals onto your child's skin.

Why Choose DermaSilk?

Children with eczema often experience dry, damaged skin that becomes trapped in an itch-scratch cycle. Scratching can further damage the skin barrier, increasing irritation and the risk of infection.

DermaSilk has been specifically developed to help interrupt this cycle.

The unique knitted silk structure creates a breathable microclimate around the skin, helping maintain an optimal moisture balance while allowing excess heat and humidity to escape. This helps reduce overheating, one of the common triggers for eczema flare-ups.

Unlike standard silk fabrics used in everyday clothing, DermaSilk removes the natural silk coating that can reduce skin transpiration. The result is a fabric that behaves like a "second skin" and is suitable for children with atopic dermatitis.

Clinically Studied

Clinical studies have shown that 83% of children wearing DermaSilk experienced an improvement in their atopic dermatitis symptoms.

Many parents choose DermaSilk to help:

• Reduce scratching during sleep
• Improve comfort between flare-ups
• Protect fragile skin from friction
• Complement moisturisers and prescribed eczema treatments
• Support healthy skin barrier function

Advanced Antimicrobial Protection

DermaSilk is permanently bonded with AEM 5772.5 Microbe Shield, an antimicrobial technology that has been used in hospitals for over 30 years.

Unlike treatments that release chemicals or nanoparticles onto the skin, AEM 5772.5 remains bonded to the fabric and works by physically disrupting bacteria and fungi that contact the textile surface.

This helps keep the garment cleaner between washes while supporting children whose skin is prone to bacterial colonisation associated with eczema.

Washing Instructions

To maximise the life of your DermaSilk garment:

• Hand wash using a non-biological (enzyme-free) detergent suitable for sensitive skin.
• Rinse thoroughly.
• Air dry away from direct heat.

Every ten washes:

• Soak overnight using two tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda per litre of water.
• Wash as normal afterwards to help maintain the softness of the silk fibres.
