Suave Cocoa Butter With Shea Body Lotion

Suave Cocoa Butter With Shea Body Lotion is a random lotion I tried one day for my eczema.  I tried it because I have always wanted a lotion with a vanilla smell to it, that I could put on my skin and know it wouldn't irritate it.  I am always anxious to have a smell other than the smell of medicated lotions.  Another plus as to why I bought it, is because it was a huge bottle for a very cheap price.

Suave Cocoa Butter Is Not Meant For Eczema

To start, let me say, this lotion is NOT fragrance free.  The fragrance in it is called Parfum, for those of you who know exactly what you are allergic to.  Like I said above, I wanted to try a lotion that doesn't smell like the normal medicated eczema skin creams and lotions. 
It has a vanilla-ish smell to it.  Vanilla is one of my favorite smells, so this worked out pretty well for me.  It is cream colored and very soft and gentle.  It is not meant for eczema.  The purpose of this lotion is to soften and smooth dry and rough skin. (Keep in mind, rough skin for "normal" people.) 

No Eczema Irritations, But Be Cautious

I have used this lotion for more than a month and put it all over my body and luckily, it has not once irritated my skin.  However, I have not put it on open wounds and if my skin seems to start breaking out or being very irritable, I didn't use it.  If I scratched the night before, I made sure to skip those spots and put a medicated lotion on it.  I understand if you would be hesitant to try a lotion of fragrance, but if you are like me, you want to have the choice of a pretty smell every once in a while, and Suave – Cocoa Butter is the lotion I would recommend for that purpose.  

It's Cheap!

If your case of eczema is not so severe and you would like to try something that smells nice, I would recommend trying this product. Not because it's all mighty and will definitely help your eczema, but because if it works for you, it is very cheap. If you go to learn more, you will find that a large 18 ounce bottle after shipping is still under $10. If it ends up working for you, you may be that lucky one who doesn't have to shovel out tons of money all the time =P

That's why I include lotions such as this one that aren't made specifically for eczema.
