Making It
An enterprising mother finds shea butter Makes dry skin disappear, and money appear By Margaret Webb Pressler The Washington Post Sunday, February 4, 2007; Page W08 After her kids are asleep, Kalle Diarra can be found in the basement of her Gaithersburg home, in a kitchenette-turned-laboratory, sterilizing equipment, measuring shea butter, and mixing in water and emulsifiers. "Making lotion is like cooking," she says. "And I'm a good cook." Three years ago, Kalle, who has a degree in communications and an MBA in finance, turned a home remedy for treating her twin sons' eczema into a home-based business.

But after quitting her job for a K Street nonprofit a year later, Kalle began looking for a more natural treatment.

Skin Care: Eczema
Source MedlinePlus, the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. Alternative names Infantile eczema; Atopic eczema; Dermatitis - atopic Definition Atopic dermatitis, commonly referred to as eczema, is a chronic skin disorder categorized by scaly and itching rashes. People with eczema often have a family history of allergic conditions like asthma, hay fever, or eczema. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Eczema is most common in infants, and at least half of those cases clear by age 3. In adults, it is generally a chronic or recurring condition. A hypersensitivity reaction (similar to an allergy) occurs in the skin, causing chronic inflammation. The inflammation causes the skin to become itchy and scaly. Chronic irritation and scratching can cause the skin to thicken and become leathery- textured. Exposure to environmental irritants can worsen symptoms, as can dryness of the skin, exposure to water, temperature changes, and stress. |
