Body Butter Recipe for Eczema
by: Kyley

Hi Bonnie,

I was referring to the body butter recipe linked right above the comment you referenced. Here's the link again:

http://www.easy-aromatherapy-recipes.com/aromatherapy-body-butter.html

As you'll see when you go to that page, body butter is quite different from lotion because it has no water in it and it forms a much more solid product.

Hope that clears it up!

Either of the essential oil blends in that recipe is great for eczema. I'd say the body butter is actually a stronger eczema fighter than the lotion, but you could make both - lotion for any time of day and the body butter for after a bath or shower to lock in moisture.

How do you make the Body Butter?
Would it be by just increasing the amount of emulsifying wax?

Eczema Lotion Recipe
by: Kyley

Hi Bonnie,

Thanks for your question. The lavender lotion recipe would be the best choice for your friend's son.

I would suggest using the Lavender Rose essential oil blend, but substitute 5 drops of Benzoin or Patchouli for the Rosewood.

I would also suggest using Sweet Almond oil as your main carrier oil and substituting 2 tablespoons Evening Primrose, Rosehip or Sea Buckthorn oil to really power it up. Here's a link to the carrier oils page so you can see why I chose them.

My niece has eczema, and I made her a body butter lotion bar for the colder weather. It's super nourishing and creates a moisture barrier so the skin stays protected. It's working really well for her. Here's the recipe.

Hope that helps! Please let us know if the recipes help his skin - I'd love to post the results.
