Eczema can present differently on melanated skin, often leading to hyperpigmentation, dryness, and inflammation. Many commercial treatments fall short for Black and brown skin tones. Here are effective natural remedies that work with melanin-rich skin to soothe and heal.
1. Shea Butter
Raw, unrefined shea butter is deeply moisturizing and anti-inflammatory. It calms flare-ups and supports the skin barrier.
2. Colloidal Oatmeal
Oatmeal baths or creams with colloidal oatmeal soothe itching and irritation. It’s gentle and safe for all ages.
3. Calendula and Chamomile Oils
These botanical oils reduce redness and promote healing. When blended with jojoba or almond oil, they deliver long-lasting hydration.
4. Aloe Vera Gel
Pure aloe vera cools and soothes eczema patches. It’s best used straight from the plant or in clean formulations with no alcohol or preservatives.
5. Natural Eczema Relief Balm
Our balm is crafted specifically for melanated skin with shea butter, chamomile, avocado oil, and essential oils that target inflammation, dryness, and discoloration—without steroids or synthetic fragrances.
