Beneficial Carrier Oils And Essential Oils For Eczema

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil's anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties help it relieve inflammation, itchiness, redness, and even kill bacteria. We know all these appear in eczema! It is also an incredible natural moisturizer. Because of this, it increases skin hydration and reduces dryness. This effect is profound on eczema!

What makes coconut oil so special is its fat content. Lauric acid is a type of saturated fat, and it dramatically increases the skin’s absorption of coconut oil. This is a major reason why coconut oil is used as a carrier oil for essential oils. It increases the skin’s absorption of them! It also lessens the side effects of harsher oils.

Jojoba Oil

One of the most popular oils found in skincare products is jojoba oil. It is even more common in hair care products! This is because it is incredibly moisturizing and healthy for the skin and hair. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, so it helps relieve the swelling linked to eczema. It is also close to the natural oil the skin and hair produce, which makes it very tolerable!

The fact that jojoba oil is so common in hair products makes it perfect for treating scalp eczema. It can be used alone. That said, it's also one of the best carrier oils for essential oils. It also has a neutral scent, which means it lets lavender oil shine!
