Lauren is the designer and creator behind Cosi Care. After completing a degree in product design, she wanted to create a product that solved a problem her family had for years. She herself suffers with mild eczema that flairs under stress. Her own experience with eczema, however, was not the driving force behind the brand. She saw her little brother, Rhys, suffer with severe eczema from the age of 2. With cuts, open wounds and itchy skin controlling her family’s life, and her mum and dad trying to get Rhys to "stop scratching" she thought there was something missing. She went on to create an award-winning concept, cooling the skin and breaking the itch-scratch cycle!

Nichola is the brands biggest supporter! As a mum to two children with eczema the struggles of raising happy, healthy children was a big emotional challenge. There's so much to think about... what we can, and can’t eat, if our skin will flare, if we will be okay at school, how and when will we moisturise, how to make sure we aren't scratching and hurting ourselves (to name a few!) Mum's quote of the year has to be "Lauren, I would give anything for Cosi Care to have been around when you were little!" 

Roy is a hands-on dad that would have tried anything to help our skin! He could write a book with all the wild and wacky things he tried to soothe our eczema and calm our itching. To name a few... multiple allergy tests, donkey milk, drinking aloe vera, meditation, herbalists, turmeric shots... the list is endless. One thing that Roy felt was missing is an instant form of relief, and would always turn to a cool flannel to calm the itch. Roy wanted a product you could turn to on sleepless, fussy and itchy nights, on long car journeys or when your little one just won’t stop scratching. Our products take on the same concept as the "cold flannel" and have transformed the concept and benefit into fun, friendly and easy-to-use products.
