Our Cooling Cream has been designed to address hot, itchy, inflamed and irritated skin conditions such as eczema, acne, psoriasis or dermatitis. It is deeply cooling, soothing and healing, and very gentle on the skin. It nourishes and protects the skin, alleviating any discomfort and minimising any allergic reactions. It is made with a blend of chickweed cream, chamomile cream and vitamin E. A wonderfully cooling herb, chickweed is a potent wound healer. It reduces dryness, itching and inflammation associated with conditions such as urticaria, eczema, dermatitis and acne. It is rich in vitamins, minerals and mucilage (a soothing, moisturising, and skin protective compound), providing nourishment, hydration and protection to the skin. We have also used chamomile in our cooling cream due to its soothing and anti-inflammatory action. Chamomile contains quercetin, a key anti-allergic constituent which soothes and comforts the skin in case of any allergic reactions. It has a skin protective effect against damage caused by excess sun exposure. It helps to reduce redness, itching, and inflammation of the skin caused by allergies, eczema and acne. It is also hydrating and restores optimal skin barrier function, keeping the skin healthy and vibrant. The addition of vitamin E naturally improves the preservation of the cream – but vitamin E is also a potent antioxidant, which helps protect the skin from various adverse environmental factors, including air pollution and solar radiation. Moreover, it speeds up the healing process and reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, whether it be acne scars, age spots or any other imperfections.
If your eczema is accompanied with very dry skin, our Hydrating Cream may also be of help. It was formulated specifically to help nourish, moisturise and soothe dry, cracked, irritated and inflamed skin. It also contains chickweed and vitamin E oil, but also calendula (one of the most well-known herbs for treating inflammatory and infective skin problems, which inhibits bacterial, viral and fungal infections of the skin as well as promoting healing where needed) and borage oil (rich in essential fatty acids and naturally anti-inflammatory).
Another potent alternative in the shape of a balm rather than a cream – which is even more moisturising to the skin but may leave more of an oily residue – is our Skin Saver balm. This all-natural and comforting recipe calms rashes, redness, and inflammation. It is made with jojoba oil, coconut oil, castor oil, shea butter, deeply moistening and soothing herbs like marshmallow root, liquorice root, gotu kola and comfrey root, as well as cleansing, anti-inflammatory and healing herbs like red clover, mahonia, calendula, sarsaparilla and chamomile. It effectively supports the skin’s natural healing and regeneration processes and it smells wonderfully floral, relaxing and uplifting.
