Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester, Dr. Tim was co-author of a paper, featured in the prestigious Nature Genetics, that explored the crucial role of the gene filaggrin in atopic dermatitis— a condition close to his heart. Filaggrin acts as the 'glue' that binds skin cells together, a vital component often deficient in children with eczema and other dry skin conditions. Inspired by this research, our moisturiser includes several ingredients which can help to nourish, repair and protect the skin's barrier.
