we have been living in this fragile for awhile and worst not knowing we are contributing toxic waste without knowing it.
eczema, psoriasis or other dry skin desease are partly cause from the laundry detergent we use everyday, powder detergent, whitening clorox…these contained toxic chemicals, even a little, it does have side effect.
so, if any of u parents out there would like to converts ur home cleaning product to non toxic, eco friendly and home safe cleaning product. email me. i’m more than glad to help.
i’m here to share my knowledge and oppinions as my children facing itdhness on their back every nite before they sleep. and i make the change.

My 4-year-old son also sufferred from eczema since 6 months old and it went worse when he ate peanuts, egg yolk and seafood. Paediatrician asked me only bath him once a day, use Aqua cream as daily body lotion, and apply Elomet cream when there is any breakouts. But later on I realized that the cream is steriod and filled with parabens. Until recently I switched all his toiletries including body wash, shampoo and lotion to organic brands which are has NO PARABENS, NO SLS (foam agent), NO ALCOHOL, & NO FRAGRANCE. His skin is now always moistured and smooth. The best thing is he can eat peanuts and eggs again!

My eldest had started eczema when she was 3 months old. We went through yearly checkups and food test until she was 6 years old, thank God she has grown out of Food allergies including Milk, Peanuts and Eggs. I use Cetaphil soap, mild detergent – SA8 from Amway and keep the skin moisturized with Vaseline petroleum jelly. Do not let your child skin dry and do not use any with fragrance.
