Eczema is a chronic skin condition that afflicts many people with painful sores, flaky skin, itchiness, and other symptoms that impact their everyday lives and affect the way they look. Our gentle skin scrubs can help eczema symptoms because our nourishing ingredients soothe rather than irritate the skin, and the gentle exfoliation can help remove flakes without causing damage.
If you suffer from eczema or similar skin conditions, consider trying our Soursop Scrub. This product contains ground soursop leaves, which are chock full of Vitamins A and B to help soothe and heal sores. This scrub also contains cooling, refreshing mint to help calm itchiness and minimize redness and swelling.
Another great option? Check out our Rose Scrub. These pretty petals have natural antibacterial properties to help keep your skin clean, and the essential oils can reduce inflammation. The rose scrub also contains Vitamin E, which promotes new skin cell growth and has also been shown to reduce eczema symptoms thanks to its antioxidants, which can help relieve itchiness and inflammation as well.
What causes eczema? There is no single known origin, but the medical community believes that it may be related to the body’s immune system and an overactive response to irritants. Families with a history of asthma or allergies may be more prone to eczema. The itchiness of eczema can be “triggered” by allergens or household products that contain harsh chemicals. That’s why it is critical, when searching for a topical treatment, to choose a product that is gentle, nourishing and free of any substance that can irritate sensitive skin.
Our natural scrubs contain organic ingredients that are soothing and healing for the ultra-sensitive skin of eczema sufferers. These are perfectly balanced formulas that rid the skin’s surface of dead cells while providing essential nourishment for healthy skin regeneration. In our organic Soursop Body Scrub, the main ingredient is a vitamin-rich substance taken from Soursop leaves. Vitamin A nourishes the skin by normalizing blood flow. It also repairs cell structure and increases hydration. Vitamin B aids in moisture retention, while vitamin C, an antioxidant, plays a vital role in collagen production. Along with brown sugar exfoliant, our Soursop scrub also features dead sea mineral salt. In addition to gently exfoliating the skin, it melts slightly upon application, releasing important minerals into the skin for improved elasticity and firmness. Mint cools and calms the skin, while green tea is a potent antioxidant.
The wondrous therapeutic properties of rose petals are the star attraction of our organic Rose Body Scrub. Rose petals help to clean and tone skin, while also moisturizing and providing oil control. It’s a natural antioxidant that blocks skin irritants, free radicals, germs and excess sebum, an oily gland secretion. Brown sugar, in addition to gently exfoliating the skin, also moisturizes. It deeply penetrates to loosen bonds of dead skin cells while promoting healthy new skin growth. As with our Soursop scrub, a variety of natural oils, shea butter and vitamin E are added for moisturizing, protecting, and supporting healthy skin regeneration.
