Eczema Cream Round Up
We love this lotion in our home because it goes on thick but isn’t greasy! Note that it does contain oatmeal, if that is an issue for your baby. This lotion in general is free from fragrance, gluten, soy, dairy, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and petrolatum.
Earth Mama is another great natural brand and this product was awarded the Seal of Acceptance™ by the National Eczema Association for passing the association’s rigid standards. Be aware that this cream does contain oatmeal. Liberally apply the botanically-rich, soothing Earth Mama Eczema Cream anytime irritation sets in from a variety of itch-causing issues: eczema, rashes, bug bites or even poison oak, ivy and sumac..
Soothing Skin Balm is made with 100% natural and pure ingredients to effectively soothe eczema and other skin issues. From dry skin to psoriasis, this balm helps to provide relief from symptoms of a variety of conditions. Pills and medicated creams can be ineffective and contain harmful ingredients. This cream is pure, effective, and safe for the whole family. Free from soy, corn, dairy, tree nuts, gluten, peanuts, sesame, and fish.
Vanicream is not quite as natural as the other options above, but it’s a great basic cream that is often used in compounded prescription eczema creams. This is a good option if an eczema flare up is particularly bad and you want to rule out any other ingredients causing an issue (since this cream does not contain oatmeal or any other food or herbal based ingredients). It is very thick and is not greasy!
