Why Castile Soap Works for Eczema and Sensitive Skin
What Makes Castile Soap Different?
"Sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances, all typically present in traditional soaps, irritate sensitive skin. Castile soap is made with organic olive oil and coconut oil, blended with water, so it moisturizes skin and cleans at the same time, making it an excellent solution for someone using it on skin that is prone to eczema. This chemical-free substitute does involve triggers, such as alcohol and artificial dyes that trigger redder skin and itching.
Rich in the antioxidant and fatty acids reparative properties is olive oil. Coconut oil naturally possesses antimicrobial properties by which infection does not take place into cracks in an eczema patch. Altogether creates a soap that cleanses without compromising skin integrity.
How Castile Soothes Eczema
Dry and damaged skin barriers are prime conditions for eczema. Among its other benefits, Castile soap adds fatty acids to help the skin retain its moisture content and create less inflammation. Here is our unscented Castile soap that has been made especially for those with eczema fragrances or dyes to set off reactions. Users report that they've had fewer flare-ups and softer skin after changing soaps.
For best results:
-
Lather gently: Avoid scrubbing eczema-prone areas.
-
Rinse thoroughly: Residual soap can dry skin.
-
Follow with moisturizer: Seal in hydration after washing.
Gentle pH for Healthy Skin
Mild pH Castile soap was formulated to be close to healthy skin to avoid dryness. Research showed that plant oils used in Castile soap repaired skin barriers more quickly than synthetic cleansers, hence making it safe for sensitive or atopic eczema skin.
Beyond Skin: Castile Soap for Gut and Home Health
