FERNDALE, Michigan and NESS ZIONA, Israel, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Ferndale Laboratories Inc. and Foamix Ltd. announced today that the two companies executed a license agreement for Ferndale to develop and commercialize non-steroidal foam for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and eczema.

The agreement was signed following Foamix's successful development of non-steroidal foam which is designed to help skin barrier properties.

The prolonged and continuous itching can lead to reduced attention, sustained sleep deprivation and scratching, which impairs the quality of life of the sufferer.
