I like the idea of adding something nice for the bath to the dc's xmas eve hamper but as they both have eczema we never use anything in the bath.

They often ask for bubbles and it would be real treat for them.

Does anyone know if the xmas Lush bath bombs would be ok?

The problem with eczema is we will all be able to use different products.

For me anything with sea salt, aloe vera, chamomile or lavender will aggrevate my skin but otherrs on here are fine with it.

Tea tree helps my eczema but most people with eczema can't tolerate it.

Some of the products people on this thread have said they or their dc can use have left me itchy and sore for days.

The only way to actually know if it will irritate their skin is if you use it, which is no help at all.

DS has has the snowman melt for the past couple of years without a problem. It's actually really moisturised his skin compared to no products.

However in the past when he received bubble bath in fun shaped bottles from relations, I would empty it out, give the bottle a rinse and replace it with Johnson's Baby Bath. That way DS didn't have to miss out. :)

We have psoriasis and excema her. Lush Dream Cream kept in the fridge is divine! I know it sounds odd, but when you get that really burning itch, straight from the fridge is heavenly! I think they do a Dream Cream shower gel now, too.

Ooo, no idea why that posted twice. Sorry!

Oh, and when younger, we have been known to add a drop of food colouring to bath things that we knew they were okay with. Just to make it a bit more exciting!

I wouldn't put a Lush bath bomb within 10 miles of eczema.

I find the whole Lush thing strange anyway. I was in the shop yesterday. It looks like a sweet shop. They were demonstrating a bath bomb and it crossed my mind that it could give you a nasty dose of cystitis immersing yourself in all that salty, perfumed fizzy brew.

Not for me.

My eczema prone/ allergic to everything DS has no problems with the lush bath bombs. In fact they leave his skin lovely and soft ( and make the bathroom smell lovely!)

The SLS free ones are good but that means bubble bath is a no no.
They do a good one with sea weed and salt which actually soothed my bad eczema. It's blue but can't remember the name.
Not all bath bombs are SLS free so do check.
