Unrefined Shea Butter & Eczema

Fire_Fox

This stuff is awesome, more effective on my eczema than my prescription steroid cream - my main patch is now barely visible. Just started my mother using it and she is getting similar results. From the research I've done I suspect shea works as a barrier, as an emollient and a healing agent.

I purchased the cheapest unrefined butter eBay had to offer; it arrived wrapped in greaseproof paper.

This maybe useful to make your own.

Thanks for the tip - sounds like its definately worth a try - especially as its affordable. My eczema has flared up again with the sun, but I dont like using steroid cream on my face.

What does shea butter smell like?

I cannot sing the praises of using unrefined Shea butter on my D.D Eczema, it has improved ten-fold since starting with it a year or so ago anyone with Eczema should try it
