Eczema friendly items for whole family
49
items We had our first eczema baby 2 years ago and let me tell me the $ we spent trying to find what works, is insane. Under age 2, doctors cannot prescribe anything that's not a steriod. We had to do our own research and trial and error EVERYTHING. With many having eczema, you know it's frustrating and it's hard to tell what works and if it does, maybe later or doesn't. It's Frustrating. I put together a few things that lasted us more than 1 purchase to see if it helps anyone.

Clothes
We have to focus on clothing that is safe for eczema babies, meaning non-irritating and that they also keep baby cool, as they tend to be hotter during flare-ups. I also started buying other clothing and bedding from Bamboo, as it's naturally antibacterial
Love these! Buttery soft, stay cool at night, skin friendly. Buy a size up possibly depending on kid. Eczema babies get hot and these really helped
Bamboo Baby Clothes
Outfit for whole family. Buttery soft, eczema and skin friendly. Cooling effect for hot sleepers and stylish holiday jammies
Little Sleepies
We buy off Amazon a lot for PatPat bamboo clothing. My daughter is 2, we buy size 5 just because they're so snug and for eczema, things aren't supposed to be that tight. I love these because they're quality like Little Sleepies but half the price.
Bamboo Clothing Bamboo Pajamas Online
We would buy 100% cotton for our eczema baby but 100% was hard to find or it wouldn't fit right, be too tight or too small. We wanted something comfortable and these were it. We buy sizes up and they are thin to keep our baby cool during summer months so it was a win. They are thin but actually haven't ripped yet and she's very clumsy. They will get stained over-time but it was a better buy for us overall because the cotton was just as bad
DREAMHALO Toddler Girl Bamboo Bell Pants
These were too cute. We had to buy bigger but that's expected for us with any clothing. They were soft, colorful and thin which we wanted. They got so many compliments
EASWEET Bamboo Viscose Girls Sleeveless Tops
These were our go-to for so long because our daughter was crawling and we needed something to protect her legs from irritation but also not overheat her. Perfect for outdoor play!
Teach Leanbh Baby 2 Pack Bamboo Pajamas
These were so amazing and so soft! Our little one had eczema on her feet so bad, they'd be red and scaly, and would swell at times. We used these because they were so gentle on skin. They get dirty overtime, the white doesn't stay white but it was worth it since we needed it at the time. Now we can get some cotton too
Silky Toes Infant Bamboo Socks 6 Pairs
I love bamboo because it doesn't hold bacteria like other clothing can. Sometimes the mix with polyester blends or even cotton, don't fight off bacteria and smell. For my husband who worked all day in his shoes, these were a nice break and come clean easy! They also lasted a while!!
Sunew Viscose Bamboo Unisex Cushioned Socks 6 Pairs
I bought for my son but he wanted higher socks so I took these and I love them. They come clean easy, feel soft, thin which I want because Bamboo is thinner, and they air your feet out. These hold up so nice
Sock Amazing Bamboo No Show Boat Socks 8 Pairs
I wasn't sure if our clothes were irritating to our daughter so I started getting a few things for us, to see if it helped. I don't think they made that much difference but we ended up enjoying the clothes since they're soft and thin.
COLORFULLEAF Men's Bamboo Rayon Tees 3/5 Pack
These are very light, nice for outdoor activity or sleep. Thin, so phone might fall out but they are deeper so we haven't had that yet
EA'S SECRET Mens Bamboo Pajama Shorts 2 Pack
Bedding
I know with eczema, dust mites can be a real trigger. Heat at night can be a trigger. Bedding washed in toxic or fragrances, can be a trigger. Sheets that aren't antibacterial or aren't skin friendly, are all triggers. These are some of the items we use, that wash easy, don't stain, fit our big bed and don't irriate
We need items that are skin friendly at night, that keep us cool and since dust mites can be a trigger, we need extra protection that under the sheet, so we can clean both if needed. This is easy to clean, skin friendly, cooling and fits over mattres... Good buy, especially since it's not expensive as others
Niagara Sleep Ultra Soft Mattress Topper Twin XL
We need sheets that don't irritate our skin and these were perfect because it's 100% cotton which was harder to find of quality. These are a little hotter than Bamboo for example, so depending on where you stand, go towards which works better
LANE LINEN Organic Cotton King Bed Sheet Set
These are so soft! I bought because I wanted some that naturally antibacterial and at a price point we could afford - this has worked. Fits over the bed nice, stays on, keeps after washing and supposedly you don't have to wash as often as cotton but I do anyways
4-Piece Light Steel Grey Tencel Eucalyptus Lyocell Sateen Weave Bed Sheets, Queen - Ultra Soft, Cooling, Deep Pocket - Walmart.com
We have a body pillow and this has been nice, for years. We bought this originally, wash and keep using, it's held up and is still so soft
BEDELITE Bamboo Rayon Cooling Body Pillow Case
This is very thin and smaller than bedsize, usually, so FYI. We bought ours and it didn't fall off the sides like we wanted. It was fine because it was mostly just for baby naps and wasn't bought to replace the bedding. It was soft, easy to wash, lightweight and was a cute addition
Bedsure Cooling Cotton Waffle King Blanket
This has a nice stretch, we had extra padding on the bed and needed the extra fit and it worked. It's not ‘plush’ like it says to where I expected would be considered a plush feel but it's comfortable and did what we wanted - to cover the bed. We have a few beds in the house and this was for our son, which he's had a while now! Easy to clean, doesn't stain
PlushDeluxe Bamboo Mattress Protector Queen
Sensory Play
We try to incorporate sensory items because kids love but they also need to not irritate skin
We have a 2 year old that loves sensory but can't touch many things due to allergies and eczema, this is the best! She plays all the time, easy clean up, not irritating and the whole family joins in to play
Kinetic Sand | One Pile of Sand, Endless Possibilities
The rice is nice because it doesn't add any chemicals in your body. The dyes are food grade or just use regular rice which I've done. Just get a container and a sheet, a few toys and the kids play for hours
Sensory-N-Stuff Rainbow Rice Sensory Bin Filler
We actually found regular sand or unwashed should I say, or dirt too, was irritating to our daughters skin and she LOVES sand. The sand has to be cleaned first and we have to contain it from there. This was good to keep on hand. We'd only bring out small amounts at a time and dispose once she's played for a while. We actually brought it inside and did a little pool area. Just trying to let her play without exposing her skin during flare ups
Classic Sand for Sandbox & Therapy, 20 lb
This was by accident but we feed the ducks with cracked corn. Our daughter fell in love with the feel of it and wouldn't stop playing. It's very dusty so if you wash, it's easy for them to play and then you can feed the ducks or squirrels. We also saw this at a Fall Festival recently and I remembered then too, she had so much fun in it. Easy play!
TRAILMARK Naturals Cracked Corn 10 lb
Bath
We have to be careful on bathing, meaning everything unscented, no added chemicals or harmful ingredients that cause irritation, are single ingredient or limited ingredients so we can narrow down what irritates skin. This is our best effort items that have shown success
Never thought my eczema baby could bathe with bubbles! These were so awesome to do and simple ingredients
Bubble Podz: Sensitive Care (Eczema) Unscented Bubble Bath
These are the best for any skin conditions or just soak, easy way to get magnesium but more powerful
Magnesium Collection
Gentle on skin, does not dry out, natural product and good for eczema skin if you have kids!
Sulfur Soap
Daughter loves!! They're so soft, long lasting, affordable and actually stay clean. She asks for the panda every time!!
HIPHOP PANDA Bamboo Rayon Hooded Towel
I started realizing sometimes the towels were smelling bad and it was a new washer and dryer, so sometimes cotton and polyester (more than anything), once it gets a smell, it can hold it. These Bamboo ones are naturally antibacterial so we started buying for ourselves
Cosy House Bamboo Blend 2-Pack Bath Towels
I STRUGGLED to find shampoo because everything has fragrance or added stuff and our baby had moderate to severe eczema and reacted easy. Her hair was itchy at times which led me here. It's not the less expensive item but it actually calmed her scalp ...

1 Gallon Apple Cider Vinegar
Cleaning
We clean with simple ingredients in the house, mainly vinegar and hypochlorous acid (salt water essentially) - but we do need and use other products for other everyday cleaning. We stay away from scents and chemicals
This thing is so cool! You use water and salt and it makes a natural cleaner for your home. It's hypochlorous acid vs buying bottles of it. We originally started buying hypochlorous acid for our eczema baby but realized it can be used for acne, clean...

Love these. Dishes are clean, they don't smell like cleaner or added whatever in other pods, the pods don't malfunction, and simple ingredients

castile soap
This line is so cool, I use unscented everything and it gets everything really clean. The other products smell so good too but we have to keep fragrance out of the house
Dirty Labs Scent Free Bio Enzyme Laundry Booster 48 Loads
I love to use this because it's limited on ingredients. Sometimes, the pods don't disintegrate in my washer but I put a little vinegar in there for the fabric softer and it takes care of it. I get the powder usually and do the same. Gets everything clean
Molly's Suds Original Laundry Detergent Powder
Frey can smell like COLOGNE on your clothes and I love it, but I have to buy unscented mainly for our house, however, I do get other scents for my son and I love the way it smells. It lasts and cleans good!

White House Apple Cider Vinegar
We weren't sure if her current wipes were irritating or not. Although they say hypoallergenic or 99% water, we NEVER realized they have other things added! I just never looked. After reading the labels on many, we tried these because they had no brighteners, no chemicals, no fragrance and we did notice improvement. There are many other good options too!
Terra Organics NZ Water Bamboo Baby Wipes, 70
Skin
Ezcema friendly for skin
Aloe is an item we hold year-round, either for sunburns, burns, irritated skin or even nice just to put on skin as it's tightening and contains natural collagen. It's hard to find 100% aloe but this is close, doesn't change color or go bad easy. It's organic too and a nice price as this lasts long
Kinrose Care, 12Oz Organic Aloe Vera Gel For Face, Skin, Hair & Sunburn Relief - From 100 Percent Pure Aloe Vera - Cold Pressed, Vegan, Unscented - - Search Shopping
We used this because our daughter had such a eczema flare ups and everything burned her. This was expensive but we were desperate and it paid off. It was so gentle, kept her from an infection and has a hundred other uses. Good to keep at home for saf...
Emuaid
You can use this for diaper rash but we were recommended it by our holistic doctor to help with eczema flare-ups. It has zinc and calamine, so it was a calmer. We still keep this on hand because it has so many uses
Calmoseptine Ointment by Calmoseptine
This is hydrocortisone but if you read the site, the claims are that it's mixed with sulfur which is a prebiotic and therefore does not disrupt the skin barrier and non habit forming. It can be used on face or 2 years+. Pricey you can try for 50% off...
Harlan MD
I hate that these cost so much and I dislike the packaging so much bc it's wasteful but these diapers saved our eczema baby. She already breaks out from my things but these allowed us to keep that area, clean. It was the only diaper that worked and i...
Charcoal Enhanced Diaper Monthly Box
You don't think about it much but everything that goes on your hands, goes on the rest of your body, to other family members and so forth. It's also essential for us to wash our toddler hands and it has to be eczema friendly wash. This brand overall, is dedicated to keeping things nontoxic, it's a good price and they do unscented which is perfect. Nice price too and it goes on sale at Target often!
