"When products are not tested in a diverse population, there is a reluctance to accept them as solutions," says Tonianne Lisante, a Kenvue scientific engagement manager, in a press release.

A study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment looked at 49 black children between the ages of 2 and 15 with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis, the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease.

In the colloidal oatmeal group, 100% of participants reported that the cream was appropriate for use on children, 88% said they would use the cream daily rather than occasionally, and both groups showed improvement in pruritis, skin appearance
