If you have eczema, your skin requires more intensive care.  This natural eczema cream is excellent for anyone that has problems with eczema or just simply has dry skin.  It works to penetrate deep into your skin providing the moisture it craves while helping to relieve your eczema symptoms.

Our eczema cream has the benefits of a rich, thick cream, yet a consistency of a lotion that makes it very easy to apply.  The light, creamy texture spreads effortlessly even over the roughest of skin.

Even with all the medical technology available today, unfortunately there currently is no cure for eczema.  But that doesn't mean you can't get eczema relief. 

Our natural eczema cream helps alleviate flaky, dry skin, inflammations and irritations usually associated with eczema.  With regular use, it can even help minimize the occurrence and severity of flare ups.

Made with special ingredients recognized for their skin healing and anti-inflammatory abilities such as Organic Aloe Juice, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Avocado Oil, Oat Protein and Pure Essential Oils that are all designed to work harmoniously to help with inflamed skin.

What is Eczema?
Eczema is a general term often used to describe many types of skin inflammations.

The most common form of eczema is called atopic dermatitis so the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably.

"Dermatitis" means inflammation of the skin while "Atopic" refers to conditions that are hereditary and tend to run in the family.

In general, this form of eczema is usually a long-lasting, often recurring skin condition typically characterized by a dry, flaky, itchy rash. 

Eczema Symptoms
Eczema symptoms can vary from person to person as well as the severity and length of time between flare ups. 

The most common eczema symptoms include dry, flaky and itchy skin.  The skin may also be red and inflamed.  Sometimes eczema can cause cracking, blisters and oozing lesions.  Repeated scratching may also lead to skin that is thickened and crusty in appearance.

Who gets Eczema?
It affects millions of people both children and adults alike.  It can appear just about anywhere on the body including the face, neck, elbows, knees, ankles, scalp and hands (both front and back).

What causes Eczema?
The cause of eczema is not known.  Evidence suggests that the condition may result from a combination of genetic (hereditary) and environmental factors.  Reportedly, emotional factors such as stress can also irritate and increase the severity of the skin condition.

What are some Eczema Treatment Options?
With mild to moderate cases, eczema can usually be managed with lifestyle changes and daily skin care routines.  When eczema cannot be managed successfully, it is wise to visit a doctor.  When needed, doctors have several methods to treat eczema symptoms including medications and photo therapy.

Whether you use our cream or your current cream, we recommend the following daily skin care routine for taking care of your eczema:

• Gently pat the skin dry (The keyword here is "gently").  Avoid rubbing or heat drying of any kind.
• Apply cream within 3 minutes of bathing.  This helps restore moisture, promote healing and most importantly it helps create a barrier against further drying and irritation.
• Take lukewarm baths or showers, no more than 15 minutes long (AVOID using hot water altogether)
• Use a mild, natural soap or non-soap cleanser (most commercial soaps can be drying to the skin.)
• Use products (soap, lotions and creams) that do not contain synthetic fragrance, a long list of chemicals or a high alcohol content.  Choose products that are as free of synthetic fragrance, chemicals and alcohol as possible.  In other words... as natural as you can get.
