FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about the med Series
Who is the base cream suitable for?
Our basic cream is a highly moisturizing cream that is ideal for dry skin. You can use it on both the face and dry areas all over the body. It is also suitable as a basic treatment for skin affected by neurodermatitis - in this case, you should use the cream continuously, preferably twice a day.
What are the main ingredients in the base cream?
- rich evening primrose oil (5%) from certified organic farming
- moisturizing, plant-based glycerin
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
The main ingredient in O/W (oil-in-water) creams is water. To combine the oils and water, so-called emulsifiers are needed. You can find these in our ingredients (e.g., glyceryl stearate, cetearyl alcohol). Plant-based, antimicrobial ingredients (e.g., sodium levulinate) are used as preservatives, but Vitamin E also has a preservative effect. Our Vitamin E is derived from glycine soja extract, which is listed separately.
Is the base cream comedogenic?
Comedo.. what? Most readers here are probably wondering. :) But we actually get asked this quite often. It refers to creams that promote the formation of blackheads (skin blemishes). Some manufacturers advertise the claim "non-comedogenic" and the avoidance of greasy oils (especially mineral oils) that clog the pores. This term is not protected and, in our view, is misleading, because no one knows exactly what is meant by it.
The fact is: Every skin is individual and what leads to blemishes in some may not be comedogenic in others. Therefore, do not let yourselves be unsettled by such claims and rely on good formulations for your individual skin type!
Why is it even called "base cream" or "base care"?
The terms basic cream and basic skincare are terms used in the treatment of atopic dermatitis. If you have atopic dermatitis, regular and continuous basic skincare is recommended at all stages of treatment. Basic skincare means providing the skin with plenty of moisture to strengthen the damaged skin barrier and at least delay the onset of further flare-ups. Here you will find 5 tips for basic skincare in atopic dermatitis.
How do the med diaper cream and the baby diaper cream differ?
First of all, the commonality: both use zinc oxide as a base.
Our new med Wundcreme is suitable for irritated, slightly inflamed skin on the entire body.
The Babywundcreme is specially developed for the diaper area and has a soothing effect on reddened baby bottoms with calendula. Calendula (Calendula) is a natural power ingredient that we love very much, but there are children with very sensitive skin who react allergically to this ingredient. Therefore, for very sensitive skin, we recommend our Wundcreme from the med series.
Why basic skincare is so important in the treatment of atopic dermatitis
The treatment of atopic dermatitis consists of 3 main pillars: the avoidance of trigger factors (e.g. dyes, fragrances, cold air), basic skincare and topical and systemic medication therapy.
The basic skincare plays a major role in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, as it is intended to prevent a deterioration or acute flare-up by stabilizing the skin. As described above, dry, itchy skin is the main symptom of atopic dermatitis, which is why a good basic cream must prevent the loss of moisture from the outer layers of the skin as effectively as possible. If the skin barrier is intact, the skin is less susceptible to acute flare-ups.
Depending on the condition of the skin, the basic skincare should be applied daily. Oil-and-water compresses can enhance the effect. Children should also continue to be moisturized during flare-free periods to prevent an acute deterioration as effectively as possible, as described above. Children with confirmed atopic dermatitis should therefore not bathe for too long (approx. 5-10 minutes), add emollient bath products to the water and be moisturized immediately after bathing with a basic cream.
During an acute flare-up, basic skincare is often no longer sufficient. Medication therapy follows a step-by-step approach and should be individually prescribed by the treating dermatologist.

What is the difference between the baby bath oil and the med Pflegebad?
The baby bath oil has a delicate fragrance, while the med soothing bath is fragrance-free and therefore suitable for very sensitive (problem) skin, such as in cases of neurodermatitis.
How often can I use the med nursing bath if I have neurodermatitis?
To this end, boep founder and doctor Michaela Dir has put together valuable tips for you in a blog post. You can read it here.
Which ingredients should I avoid if I have very sensitive skin?
If you have very sensitive skin and/or suffer from neurodermatitis or rosacea, you should better avoid trigger factors that cause flare-ups of these conditions. Fragrances and lanolin, also known as wool wax, can be among the trigger factors, as they have a higher potential to cause allergies. Parabens, plasticizers, or sulfates may also not be tolerated. You can find all the details about this again here!
What is the difference between the med sunscreen lotion SPF 50 and the Sensitiv sunscreen SPF 50?
First of all, regarding their similarities: Both creams are excellent for use on the face and offer extra-high sun protection with an SPF of 50.
The main difference between the two products lies in their consistency and their cream base: The sunscreen is water-based, while the sun balm is formulated with an oil base. This makes the balm noticeably richer and provides additional protection against the cold in winter. Since it is waterless, it also does not require preservatives and is therefore particularly well tolerated by very dry or sensitive skin, such as in cases of neurodermatitis.
Ultimately, the choice between the two products therefore depends on your skin type and your individual needs.
Very sensitive skin needs special care
Developing natural skincare products for genuinely problematic skin had long been a priority for boep founder and physician Michaela. This is because while medical skincare lines often rely on synthetic, conventional ingredients, natural cosmetics are often criticized for containing too many potentially allergenic substances.
With the med series, we are bringing these concepts together for the first time, using well-tolerated natural ingredients and incorporating them into highly streamlined, clean formulations.
Medical skincare meets certified natural cosmetics
When Michaela met Anni from AnnisBunteWelt (a bioanalyst and influencer) at a natural products trade fair in January 2020, and Anni spoke about her son's neurodermatitic skin, the idea of developing the product together was quickly born.
As a bioanalyst and expert influencer, Anni has extensive expertise in cosmetic ingredients and shares this with her community every day. She advised Michaela on the selection of ingredients, tested the samples together with her, and refined them until the perfect formulation was finalized.
Neurodermatitis
Valuable background information
Causes & Trigger Factors
Neurodermatitis is the most common chronic skin disease in childhood. Since the predisposition to atopic diseases is genetically inherited, children whose parents both suffer from neurodermatitis have a 60–80% risk of also suffering from an atopic disease. Neurodermatitis is caused by an imbalance of microorganisms, which leads to a disrupted skin barrier. An overreaction of the immune system to penetrating irritants, as well as individual trigger factors, influence the episodic course of the disease.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Neurodermatitis progresses in phases with acute flare-ups characterized by intense itching, inflammation, and weeping skin areas, and flare-free periods during which the skin shows fewer symptoms, but is still dry and irritated. The so-called itch-scratch cycle often develops: The itching leads to scratching, which worsens the damage to the skin and the inflammation. This intensifies the itching, the cycle repeats itself, and the condition of the skin increasingly deteriorates.
Therapy & Skincare
Neurodermatitis is currently incurable, but the symptoms can be alleviated through appropriate treatment. This includes avoiding trigger factors and the continuous application of moisturizing products to strengthen the skin barrier. In acute cases, topical therapies such as corticosteroid creams are used, while systemic therapies treat inflammation in severe forms with oral or injectable medications.
Tips & Information
Our med basic cream is ideal for the basic care of neurodermatitic skin. The entire med series was specially developed for very dry skin and combines proven medical active ingredients with certified, vegan ingredients from natural cosmetics in pure formulations.
