Bleach baths and other cheap eczema remedies

Step 3 Extra special fancy moisturizer

The basic moisturizer works really well for day to day use, to keep the eczema in check, but during a change of season, a period of stress or after wearing irritating clothes flare-ups can still occur. The following recipe is the result of my research into all the exotic ingredients which claim to cure skin ailments... It works quite well for my personal test subject, but I want to emphasize that everybody is sensitive to different chemicals. This cream helps my (extremely sensitive ) spouse, but it could make you break out into a rash -- so try a little first on a patch of healthy skin, and if after a few days of use you don't get a reaction you can see if it helps your angry red blotchy patches of skin... You can also replace some of the grape seed oil in the previous recipe with small amounts of these ingredients, trying them one at a time. That way you would be able to tell if you just need to avoid one of the ingredients listed here.
This is just the basic summary of the recipe... for more details click here.
To avoid the need for preservatives I like to make small quantities to be used up in a few days -- to speed things up I combine all the oils then use just a small amount of that mixture when I make cream. The leftover I refrigerate where it keeps indefinitely, because it contains no water.

Equipment:
Stick blender or strong arm with a whisk
2 wide mouth jars or similar container -- this cream is a little too thick for a pump. Containers should be able to hold about 1/2 cup each.

Preparation:
Clean and sterilize your measuring cups, bowls, containers and tools. A dishwasher with hot water will do the job but be careful with PET containers: my recycled honey bears shrivel up in the heat of the dishwasher so after cleaning them by hand I put a little rubbing alcohol in them and swish it around then let it evaporate.

Oil mix:
2 tsp dimethicone
2 1/2 tsp tamanu oil
5 tsp jojoba oil
4 1/2 tsp castor oil
4 tsp shea butter
1/4 cup ewax

Melt together in a small double boiler. When all ingredients are combined remove from heat and allow to cool for 3 minutes, then stir in:

2 tsp black seed oil
1 tsp pure vitamin E (check the ingredients when you get it -- it should have the consistency of nail polish)

In a separate container, warm up:

8 tsp distilled water (or tap water, that's OK)
1/2 tsp glycerin

Using your stick blender, slowly drip 2 tbsp of the oil mix into your hot water and glycerin till the cream is well emulsified. Add a few optional drops of soy lecithin.

Pour the cream into one of your containers, and the remaining oil mix into the other. Store in the refrigerator. When you use up your cream use some of the left-over oil mix to make more cream in just a few minutes.
