Natural relief from eczema itching

Coraline Skincare co-founder, Liz, talks through the two step body routine that customers use to naturally soothe and calm their eczema.

Naturally beneficial ingredients for eczema

We often ask customers with eczema, “have you found anything that has worked for your skin?”

One customer told us that Hemp seed oil was the only thing that worked for her son so we were excited to tell her this was a key ingredient in our SOS Recovery Facial Oil, Saving Grace Body Balm and Soothe and Smooth Body Oil.

Customers have told us about their skin feeling thinner with the use of steroids, and how they then use emollients to moisturise their skin but that these don't actually add moisture back into their skin.

All of our natural ingredients have powerful properties which work with your body to repair your skin.

What is our recommended routine?

In terms of the Coraline Skincare products we recommend those which are essential oil free oil free, as suggested below.

Let’s have a look at what naturally magical ingredients are in them.

Step 1 for your face or body routine: Nettle or Chamomile soap:

Nettle Settle Soap – Nettle Leaf Is a wonderful remedy for calming itchy skin due to its rich histamine, chlorophyll, oxyacetylene and iron levels. 

Calming Chamomile Soap - Blue Chamomile has high levels of potent antioxidants which help your skin to regenerate, and which reduce redness. It helps to relieve irritation thanks to its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial compounds alpha-bisabolol, chamazulene, and various polyphenols and flavonoids. It is highly effective for dry and itchy skin.

Step 2 for your body: Follow the soap with our body balm or body oil

Saving Grace Body Balm -  Its Hemp seed oil and Sesame Seed oil are both high in linoleic acid which is highly beneficial for eczema. Its Apricot kernel oil helps itching. It's shea butter base is healing for eczema. The callophyllolide isolated from the Tamanu seed oil relieves inflammation.

Soothe and Smooth Body Oil - Its Apricot Kernel Oil is rich in vitamins A and E and calms dry, inflamed, itchy and irritated skin. Its Golden Jojoba Seed Oil provides a light film which maintains moisture yet allows your skin to breathe. Its sesame seed oil is rich in linoleic and oleic acids which are highly beneficial for eczema.

Step 2 for your face:  Follow the soap with a spritz of our Botanical Balance Calming Facial Tonic (or water) and one of our facial oils:

Botanical Balance Facial Tonic - the therapeutic properties of the four organic botanical flower waters help to hydrate your skin and to heal dry and itchy skin. Its Damask Rose Flower water helps eczema and dry skin. Its Aloe Vera leaf juice has anti-itching properties and vast anti-inflammatory benefits.

You Must be Sisters Facial Oil - Bring back your glow. The Blackcurrant seed oil and Rosehip Oils are calming for your skin and reduce inflammation. Blackcurrant seed oil is one of very few oils high in GLA fatty acid which works to repair and strengthen your skin’s barrier. Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil contains over 100 nutrients, and the levels of Vitamin C are at least 10 times higher than that of an orange. This makes it a highly effective oil to help support the production of collagen to reduce water loss and encourage your skin’s elasticity. Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil’s vitamin A content naturally helps to heal inflammation.

SOS Recovery Facial Oil - Soothe and hydrate your skin. Its Amaranth Seed Oil has 4-5% squalene content, a hugely important lipid to keep moisture in and keep our skin soft. This Amaranth seed oil is anti-inflammatory as is its Pomegranate Seed Oil. Its Pomegranate seed oil helps stop itching and is anti-bacterial. Its Baobab seed oil is soothing and comes from the Baobab tree, the tree of life. Its Borage Flower Seed Oil and Hemp Seed oil are both known to improve eczema. Its Sacha Inchi Oil has a high omega 3 content to retain moisture.
