Can Artisan Soap Help With Eczema Or Psoriasis? Discover Benefits
Table of Contents
What Are Eczema and Psoriasis?
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) and psoriasis are common skin conditions that cause inflammation, dryness, and discomfort.
-
Eczema: Flaky, red, itchy patches that may crack or ooze
-
Psoriasis: Thick, scaly plaques often on the scalp, elbows, or knees
Both are triggered by things like stress, allergens, harsh products, or weather changes.
What Makes Skin Conditions Worse
Common culprits that worsen eczema and psoriasis include:
-
Synthetic fragrance and dyes
-
Harsh sulfates (like SLS)
-
Alcohol-based products
-
Over-cleansing or hot showers
These strip the skin’s natural oils and make flare-ups more likely.
Why Soap Matters for Sensitive, Inflamed Skin
Soap isn’t just about cleansing — it’s your skin’s first defense. Using the wrong bar can lead to burning, itching, or worsening dryness.
That’s why choosing a gentle, non-irritating, nourishing soap is crucial when managing skin conditions.
How Artisan Soap Can Help
Artisan soap, especially cold process soap, can support healthier skin by:
-
Avoiding harsh detergents
-
Using natural oils and butters to soothe and protect
-
Including glycerin, which draws moisture into the skin
-
Being superfatted, leaving skin-friendly oils in the bar
-
Offering scent-free or essential oil options only
