Soothing the Itch of Eczema

Gentle, organic relief from the cruelty of eczema

By Samantha Heithaus for Green + Lovely

Is there anything more frustrating than suffering at the hands of a condition of uncertain origins? And eczema is extra unfair. Just when you have things under control, a flare comes out of the blue, and all the old tricks stop working. It can be maddening, not to mention excruciatingly painful and itchy. It was after hearing stories of this kind of suffering that we created and refined our products to aid in the battle against the incessant itch of eczema.

The purity and quality of the ingredients and essential oils we use in our Green + Lovely products is unmatched. Everything that bears the Green + Lovely name is organic, natural, and carefully curated. 

When it comes to eczema, I want to first say, “I’m sorry you are suffering.” You have the empathy and understanding of Green + Lovely. We want to help.

There are so many people out there, each with their own unique story, each suffering their individual battle with this obnoxious and relentless condition we call eczema. What is more universal, is the need for relief from a product and a company you can trust. 

One eczema sufferer came to our Calendula Salve on her hunt for the ideal solution to her problematic skin. Like for so many of you, her eczema keeps her on a constant search for reliable, safe, effective relief. My heart warmed when I read her review:

“I have eczema and am always on the hunt for products that help my problematic skin. It works, and it kept my flare-up at a minimum.”

Providing relief for itchy, dry, painful skin is what the Calendula flower is all about. The marigold gives us this wonder of nature, which is known to be antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. It’s used most commonly to help heal small cuts and burns quicker, and it serves as a fantastic diaper rash relief solution. Perhaps most importantly of all, it’s a great way to soothe the itch of eczema.

Nature’s Herbal Calendula Salve goes on rich and clean, and absorbs deeply. As we like to put it, it goes on smooth and melts into the skin. And it contains nothing but the best of allies in your fight against eczema:

Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Raw Shea Butter, Organic Yellow Beeswax, Vitamin E (Tocopherol) and can be scented with a light array of desired essential oils (optional).

After the success of the Calendula Salve, I was inspired to create a convenient and clean way to apply this incredibly effective solution to the skin. That’s where the Simply Unscented Calendula Skin Stick comes into play. It’s all the same amazing eczema-soothing power in an easy-to-carry and easy-to-apply container. 

A recent customer even mentioned that it’s easy enough (and safe enough!) for her three-year-old:

“The calendula salve is a staple in our house, but the stick made it a game changer. It makes it SO easy to use! My 3 year old likes to use it and put it on himself. I love how mess-free it is to put on!”
