The 5 most popular natural products against eczema

Eczema, also called dermatitis, is a common skin condition that causes redness, itching and inflammation of the skin. There are different types of eczema, including atopic eczema, contact eczema and seborrheic eczema. Atopic eczema is the most common and is often seen in people with asthma or hay fever. Contact dermatitis is caused by an allergic reaction to substances such as soap or jewelry. Seborrheic dermatitis, also called mountain in babies, often appears on the scalp and face.

Fortunately, at Andelia we offer a range of 100% natural products that can help manage and relieve eczema. In this blog article we discuss our top 5 products and how they can be used effectively for different types of eczema.
