Hi All,

I'm new here and can't wait to begin learning this beautiful craft of soapmaking. My Husband and daughter both have eczema and I would love to make soap AND lotion for them. But until I can build up a good collection of oils... what 2 or 3 oils would anyone recommend I add to
My soap and lotion base for this skin condition. I know there are many great recipes with alot of oils but I'm just starting out and don't quite have all of them yet ;)

Thanks for any advice!

I would start with pure castille soap with no fragrance. It's 100% olive oil.

OOPS, I left off Karanja, tamanu, and evening primrose oils.

Hi Sydney1! I also have eczema and have tried just about every OTC product there is. I bought some shea butter when I started making soap and through this forum and other sources found out that it is good for eczema. So, I've been using straight shea butter on mine for about 2 weeks now and have seen a good bit of improvement in my skin. Better by far than the OTC products! I keep some in a small container and warm it briefly in the microwave to make it easier to apply since it's very thick and is hard to rub in. :P

Thank you all for your suggestions, sounds like straight Shea Butter is the way to go :)

Have you tried this yet?

Features mostly shea butter with some healing oils. Although Carrot Seed oil isn't the most pleasant-smelling odor you'll run across.
