I tried to remember what smell like... you will notice at first as open pot but it will go eventually once you put on child...bit like nice of cooking fat smell? and cream feel like soft fat greasy. Very good product. ]]> Tue, 04 Nov 2008 07:10:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22105&PID=535096&title=medihoney-washing-powder-for-eczema#535096 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22105&PID=534973&title=medihoney-washing-powder-for-eczema#534973 Author: leannie

Thanks for the link. I wonder what she means by ... "In its unrefined state it does have an unusal scent". Did you notice this when you used it?]]> Mon, 03 Nov 2008 21:38:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22105&PID=534973&title=medihoney-washing-powder-for-eczema#534973 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22105&PID=534952&title=medihoney-washing-powder-for-eczema#534952 Author: soph

hmm, i am not convinced the eco store powder is the problem. the only place he has the rash is around his neck and around his thighs so it could just be due to fabric rubbing against the skin. i've been moisturising him with baby sebamed and that has helped a lot - his skin just seems to be super dry. i will have to get a natural moisturiser for him because i don't like putting chemicals on him. where do i get shea butter from?]]> Mon, 03 Nov 2008 19:06:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22105&PID=534764&title=medihoney-washing-powder-for-eczema#534764 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22105&PID=534460&title=medihoney-washing-powder-for-eczema#534460 Author: soph

I got two children with eczema and allergies and my DD is known to react to Ecostore's products including washing powder/liquid. Is your child allergic to peanuts/tree nuts? that is main reason behind few people know to react to Ecostore because it used coconut/palm oil.
I am currently trying new washing liquid by Mela power by ecosense BUT my DS2 got unexplained eczema flare up and I just realize now I have switched washing liquid recently
So that might be another one go into bin?....argh!

For eczema, have you tried pure shea butter?

No washing powder is going to be pH neutral, simply due to the fact that they are made of mineral salts which are alkaline in solution.

I have extremely sensitive skin, and the Eco Store washing powder is the only washing powder I do NOT react to at all. I have reacted to all other so-called washing powders for sensitive skin.

If your son reacts to Eco Store washing powder as well, have you tried using soap nuts? I have heard good things about them, and most organic supermarkets sell them. I think there is also a trader on Trademe who sells them as well. Also another good alternative is just using baking soda in the wash.

For my eczema, I alternate between using Trilogy Everything Balm and Living Nature Nourishing Hand & Body Cream. The Trilogy balm is really nourishing, and I use it behind my ears, on my elbows and behind my knees. The Living Nature is great for all over the body. I don't react to any of those, as they are completely natural. However, I would patch test first, as some people may still react to products that are completely plant-derived.

People on this forum have also recommended Lucas Pawpaw ointment for ezcema and dermatitis, and have had great results.

I would recommend seeing a nautropath and/or homeopath, as they will be able to recommend creams and balms to use on ezcema, as each person is different.]]> Sat, 01 Nov 2008 11:32:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22105&PID=533034&title=medihoney-washing-powder-for-eczema#533034 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22105&PID=532542&title=medihoney-washing-powder-for-eczema#532542 Author: leannie

Has anyone tried Medihoney? My little boy has a red, dry rash around his neck (he rubs himself on his tshirt collars) and on his thighs (where his nappy wraps around them). It looks like eczema. The doctor has given us hydrocortisone cream but I am reluctant to put it on him - especially on his face. I am using Weleda rash cream but it is not very moisturising. Bubs hates the gluggy emulsifying lotion - he rubs it off and then scratches some more. Can you recommend any other natural moisturisers? Also, what is a good washing powder to use? I've just been told that Eco Store is not Ph neutral so lots of people react to it.]]> Fri, 31 Oct 2008 18:58:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22105&PID=532542&title=medihoney-washing-powder-for-eczema#532542
