Made For Sufferers, By Sufferers
We know how hard it is to live with inflamed skin conditions while struggling to find effective but safe non-Rx solutions. It's why we created the Bodewell range of clinical plant-based treatments and gentle cleansers. Our products are designed to treat and manage the symptoms associated with mild-to-moderate eczema, psoriasis, and sensitive skin - including itching, redness, burning, dryness, flaking, and irritation.
There are two types of people in this world. Those with clear skin, and

Eczema
For years I have hidden my skin, for as long as I can remember my skin has been patchy and covered in eczema and vitiligo scars from my condition. I am not hiding anymore, my scars are beautiful and they are here to stay, unhide eczema and unhide textured skin, we are all walking pieces of art... and who doesn’t love art 🤎
Irene,
Sensitive Skin
Going back to my childhood, I’ve always had sensitive skin and It seemed that the older I got the more sensitive my skin became. Redness, irritation and breakouts took over my spirit and now I am finally at a place where I can appreciate the simple things in life... like my skincare.
Michelle,
Psoriasis
My journey with Psoriasis has been a trying one, having to come to terms with my condition and accepting myself was extremely hard but I learned that the journey of self-love requires me to be at peace with myself. Psoriasis isn't all there is to me; I am more than my condition.

It’s OK to be mad about it, it’s OK to be anxious about it, it’s OK to feel like it’s unfair. Don't fool yourself, living in a society that tries to tell you how to look is HARD. But you're never alone no matter what it is - always remember that.
Nimra,
Sensitive Skin
When my skin was going through a rough patch, I’d layer on so many products because I tried to get immediate results, which irritated my skin even more. But now, I’ve realized the importance of nourishing my body both internally and externally and letting my skin breathe during the process.
Rohini,
Eczema & Sensitive Skin
I’ve been dealing with sensitive skin since I was young, it took me a long time to realize I have to put extra care and attention into the products I use on my body. Knowing I now have products that agree with my skin, and help instead of hurt is a huge comfort for me.
Monika,
Sensitive Skin
I have finally been able to embrace my skin the way it is and make peace with it. It's okay to have pores! It's okay to have discolorations. It's okay to have freckles. I learned that to hide those things is inadvertently admitting something is wrong with it, but that couldn't be any further from the truth. It is beautiful.
Karolina,
Eczema & Psoriasis
As cliche as it might sound, I think the most important thing to do while going through a skin flare is to love your skin. Tell your body that you're grateful for all it can do. It takes work but you're never alone. You are worthy of all good things and next time a flare comes, you and your heart will be softer towards your skin.
King,
Sensitive Skin
Due to my skin being highly sensitive, I’ve struggled with tiny breakouts, ingrowns, and scarring. It greatly harmed my confidence and what I thought I looked like to those around me. However, overtime I learned to appreciate all of my flaws and most importantly, my skin. I’ve gained the ability to accept, love, and live with my skin, and I’m so proud I’ve come this far
Stephanie,
Eczema
I’ve had eczema for as long as I can remember, ever since I was a little baby. I used to have to wear mittens to bed so I didn’t scratch my skin while I was sleeping. Looking back, it was a constant source of stress. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to embrace the skin I’m in. Treat your body and your skin with kindness. Real skin is not perfect. 💞
Mercy,
Mycosis fungoides & Sensitive Skin
I finally learnt to love myself, my skin, the thing that made me unique. Creating Secure Agency for me was personal it allowed me to tell my story to open up in a way that I hadn't in the past and also meet so many people going through a similar journey, without my skin condition I wouldn't be the person I am today.
Vanessa,
Eczema
I’ve been battling eczema since before I can remember. I started to get super low and decided for my own mental health I had to change something. I started owning it; my skin was out of my control for the foreseeable future and I could either keep hiding or carry on. I started to share my journey and poke fun at myself. The more I shared about my skin, the more people started to connect and relate. We are all going through something (you would be surprised at how many people have skin issues) and the more you can give yourself a break and accept where you are, the quicker you can dust yourself off and get back on the horse. Keep moving!
Leo,
Sensitive Skin
Taking care of my skin is a huge part of taking care of myself — not just physically, but also mentally. My skincare routine helps keep me confident, no matter where I am in my skincare journey.
Chi,
Eczema
Eczema altered my quality of life, my confidence and mental health for many years. I am finally at a place where I can embrace and accept my skin condition for all its’ beauty. Unhiding eczema was the best decision I’ve ever made. I no longer suffer in silence— I am strengthen through my skin journey! Somethings in life are blessings in disguise.
Michelle,
Psoriasis
Psoriasis, acne, acne scars, bumps, redness, pores... skincare issues seem to be never ending with me. And this is me already having come a long way in my skin battle. Honestly, the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that everyone’s skin is so insanely different. And to embrace the up & down journey of clear skin to suddenly irritated unhappy skin.
May,
Sensitive Skin
It’s taken me ages to realise that simple is so much better and to listen to my skin. There’s no use in over complicating things when really, just observing what your skin needs and doing just that is enough.

Unique skin.
Shared experience.
Time for change.
I have suffered from severe eczema for 30 years, and when I moved to the USA I realized just how many people do not have access to effective solutions and education for eczema, psoriasis, and compromised skin. With all the incredible clinical advancements of our era, this is really not good enough. We want to change the current dynamic, and we started Bodewell to do just that. We have begun with clinical, plant-powered, and efficacious treatments for mild-to-moderate eczema, psoriasis, and inflamed skin, and for us, it's just the beginning.
Anchored in innovation, science, and efficacy
Our products are all anchored in innovation, science, and efficacy, with our plant-based treatments subject to double-blind clinical patient trials. With so many options available to customers who live with skin conditions, we only focus on new technology that is shown to provide meaningful improvements and outcomes for most sufferers - not the recycled existing technology which dominates the existing OTC market.
A holistic view to treatment
Topical treatments are one key ingredient to skin flare management and to breaking the flare-cycle, but not the only one. Lifestyle changes such as stress reduction and emotional management can have a profound physiological impact. We know that there are no magic bullets or cures, so alongside our treatments we offer education for yogic breathing exercises and other stress reduction tools that have helped us on our own journeys.
World-class ingredients, USA production
We work with the best partners worldwide to source our ingredients. Our plants are sourced from a global network of suppliers that meet or exceed FDA/HPUS/AHPA/USP ID standards; these qualified suppliers are throughout Europe, Asia, and North America, including: Germany, France, and the Netherlands. Rigorous quality control testing is conducted at a USA-based, cGMP compliant, and FDA registered OTC drug manufacturing lab, including: plant sampling and verification, microbial contamination testing, heavy metal testing, and bio-activity testing. Our product is also manufactured and bottled at a USA-based, cGMP compliant, and FDA registered OTC drug manufacturing facility.
