An emollient is a thick moisturizing cream or ointment that helps soothe and heal dry, itchy skin. It forms a protective barrier on the skin that helps keep moisture in and irritants out. When shopping for an emollient, look for one that's: • Fragrance-free • Formulated with natural ingredients • Clinically tested for eczema-prone skin • Free from parabens, phthalates, and phenoxyethanol • Hypoallergenic You'll also want to select a product that's safe for use on the body part affected by eczema, whether that's your or your little one's hands, face, or body.
