Start Managing Eczema Naturally with Store Bought or Homemade Eczema Soap
Of course, I took it upon myself to try and help him find some relief!
And what we've found is that even though he does always have some irritation, Eczema can be managed by being religious about using the right kind of soap, using moisturizer daily and avoiding the things that trigger it (even detergent).
I've also just discovered that our baby has eczema that she inherited from my husband's! I'm on a mission to solve the problem with natural home made soaps, baths and creams that are pleasant smelling, inexpensive to buy and eczema baby lotion that is not harmful for our baby, so that she can learn how to take care of her skin throughout her life too.
This page is dedicated to sharing the knowledge I've discovered about the best soaps, creams and baths with simple (and advanced recipes) as well as information about all the natural ingredients used. There is a LOT of information here, so I'm linking to all of it.

Why is Oatmeal is the Best Ingredient in Eczema Soap?
1. Dryness fighting: Oats contain polysaccharides, which become gelatinous in water and
leave a fine protective film on the skin, preventing dull, flake-y dryness.
2. Moisturizing: Oats are full of healthy, lubricating fats.
3. Defense building: The proteins in oatmeal help maintain the skin's natural barrier function,
which is what ensures that the world outside the skin stays out, and what's inside the skin stays in.
4. Pore cleansing: Oats are filled with natural cleansers (called saponins) that gently remove
dirt and oil from the pores.
Benefits of the Ingredient Honey
Honey naturally soothes the skin when applied as a topical cream. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that help it to decrease pain and the appearance of scars.

Easy Homemade Oatmeal Eczema Body Soap Recipe
This recipe is kind of "homemade oatmeal soap for dummies" because you're not actually making the soap from scratch. However, it's a great way to make some soap that's great for eczema and not too expensive (or time consuming to make).
Remember, it's the oatmeal that helps eczema. So feel free to add more oatmeal (or less) depending on the severity of your skin condition and your personal tastes).
Ingredients
- 1 large bar of soap
- 3 to 4 tablespoons of ground up oatmeal (instant unflavored works)
- 4 to 5 tablespoons water
Instructions
Grind up the oatmeal in a blender until finely milled. The oatmeal shouldn't be as fine as flour, you want it to have some exfoliating power..
Grate the Dove bar into small slivers in a large plastic bowl. Add a couple of tablespoons of water and microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Stop the microwave a few times to stir.
When the soap has dissolved, add the oatmeal gradually, stirring as you go. Then put mixture into soap molds to cool and dry.
It's easy to make homemade oatmeal bath.
Expensive oatmeal bath powder isn't necessary. Just grind oatmeal to a fine powder and add to the bath.
Buy Unflavored Oatmeal and Grind It!

White Opaque Tights Child (X-Large (11/13))
Amazon Price: $4.95 (as of 05/30/2012)
Or if you don't have any, you can just buy the cheapest tights you can find to use for this purpose. I try to buy the tights in the little girls section when I do this, because they're generally a lot cheaper.
Benefits of the Ingredient Calendula
Is most recognized for its ability to help heal wounds and abrasions.
Simple Homemade Eczema Cream Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Ground or Blended Oatmeal
- 1/2 cup of Water
- 1/2 cup of Honey
- 1 egg white
Instructions
You can also make an oatmeal creme by blending the oatmeal into a very fine powder and mixing this powder with equal parts of water and honey. The water makes it liquid and the honey helps get rid of bacteria. Apply the cream to the skin for half an hour. The cream also makes a good face mask. Add egg whites to help soften the skin.

- Hee,hee nice to see Angela's video on here. I don't use any store bought soap at all. I found even fragrance in something like Dove bars can be irritating. There's some great information here though.
