I would go for pure castille with no scent added.

Yes, I agree. Give her a castille. I personally find EOs can irritate when there is an existing skin problem.

Just a thought that your friend may be able to tollerate some things more then others with the same problem.

My daughter had eczema really bad as a small child, but since using handmade soap, she hasn't had any patches for about 3 years now. Not sure exactly why, but she can tollerate my soap with sweet almond, coconut, shea, sunflower and palm and can tollerate all the FO and EO's that I use with no problem. I only do lightly scented soaps, only natural coloring, so maybe that is also key in her success story.

Good luck finding something that helps your friend!
