Coconut oil
Coconut oil is extracted from coconut meat. It may be used as a natural moisturizer.
According to the National Eczema Association, the antibacterial abilities of coconut oil can reduce staph bacteria on the skin, which helps prevent infection. This is important for people with eczema because patches of inflamed skin may crack and ooze, allowing bacteria to enter.
When applying it to your skin, choose virgin or cold-pressed coconut oil that’s processed without chemicals.
Sunflower oil is extracted from sunflower seeds. ResearchTrusted Source has shown it protects the skin’s outer layer, which helps keep moisture in and bacteria out. Sunflower oil also hydrates skin and may relieve itching and inflammation.
Sunflower oil may be applied, undiluted, directly to the skin, preferably after bathing while the skin is still damp.
