If you are allergic to lanolin and wool what do you moisturise with?

I suffer from excema and this time of year is horrible. It's so painful using my hands. I have cracks in my fingers Sad

The problem is I am allergic to aqueous creams and E45.

If you suffer the same what do you use?

Not sure if it's silly or not, but olive oil? You could make a sort of scrub with it for the non-cracked areas, and just soak your hands?

Or cocoa butter? Or coconut oil? These are all off the top of my head.

Pure potions.

My son is allergic to oilatum, E45, Aveeno and many others so we use pure potions at the moment.

Can I ask, what wool has to do with it? My son is allergic to wool but is there some kind of link between wool and those creams?

Lanolin is grease that is found in wool which gives the creams the oily texture. I cannot have it anywhere near me.

I will have a look at pure potions and your DS suffers from E45 maybe it will work for me. Thank you Smile
