As with acne treatments, some people find that the natural properties of shea butter make it a perfect traditional remedy for eczema.
This is because it absorbs into your skin quickly and may work in a similar way to emollients.
Emollients are popular eczema treatments which help by hydrating and protecting the skin from the inside out, so the appeal of an herbal remedy with emollient properties is only natural.
If you do have eczema and need a way to keep your skin protected and hydrated to help to prevent flare ups, we’d recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist so they can help you to find a suitable treatment.
