Eczema - bower collective

Wasn't sure where to place this thread!

I've just been away from home, doing all the same laundry and washing up but without kitchen gloves. My hands are so soft. At home, if I wash up just one thing without gloves my hands get so dry they crack and bleed and it takes weeks to recover. I think even the hand soap is wreaking havoc on my skin as it's a constant battle to keep my hands moisturised even in the warm weather.

We use the bower collective scent free refills for both hand soap and dish soap. Has anyone had a similar experience with this brand, and if so have you identified what ingredient it is that's causing the sensitivity?

Or has anyone got any recommendations for dish and hand soap that doesn't destroy your skin?

Thank you!

I'd try Aleppo soap with a high percentage (50% or more) laurel oil. You can read reviews here. No added scents or chemicals

Can I use that for dishes?

It's not that type of detergent, and I've never used it as such, but it might be worth trying https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/solid-dish-soap-isnt-just-a-sustainable-compromise-article
