Homemade Eczema Cream

Homemade Eczema Cream Ingredients: 1/4 cup coconut oil 1/4 cup shea butter 1/2 tsp. Vitamin E Oil 12 drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil 15 drops of Lavender Essential Oil 12 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil Directions: 1. In a double boiler on medium low heat, combine coconut oil, shea butter, and vitamin E oil. Stir or whisk well until fully melted. Turn off heat. 2. Add in essential oils, stir until well incorporated. Transfer the cream to a container. You can store this at room temperature, but if your home is warm (above 76 degrees) it may get a little “melty.” It will still do the trick but might be a little messy. If this is the case, simple store in the refrigerator. If using on a child, apply the cream and cover the eczema patch with long sleeve shirts and pants to avoid rubbing off the cream. Makes about 4 oz. I purchased all the ingredients at: https://www.mountainroseherbs.com You can find unrefined coconut oil at any grocery store. I bought mine from Target. A look at the ingredients Coconut Oil: A personally favorite for any homemade creams and lotions. Because of coconut oil’s anti-viral, antibacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal properties it’s often found in plenty of beauty and personal care recipes. *If you are allergic to coconut oil just double the shea butter and leave this out. Or replace it with olive or jojoba oil. Shea Butter: One of my favorite ingredients and a perfect moisturizer that heals the skin wonderfully. It is rich in Vitamin A and mimics the natural moisturize produced by our skin. Melrose Essential Oil: This is a blend of Melaleuca (tea tree), Naouli, Rosemary and Clove essential oils. This power combo has amazing properties to support healthy skin. - I couldn't find this blend so I used Rosemary and Tea Tree. Lavender Essential Oil: Another oil that is known for its tissue health. It shares a lot of the same properties as Melrose. It’s a tried and true essential oil for skin health. Vitamin E Oil: Great for the skin, and a natural preservative. I usually add a little of this to all my homemade beauty products. All of these ingredients are safe for babies and young children, but this cream will work for adults, too!
