Living with Eczema: Gentle Care for Sensitive Skin


If you or someone you love struggles with eczema, you know the daily challenge: dryness, irritation, and flare-ups that never seem to come at a convenient time. Finding skin and body care that soothes—without causing more issues—can feel like an endless trial-and-error.

At Glenn Avenue Soap Company, we believe skin care should be simple, safe, and supportive of your body’s natural balance. That’s why we create products with plant-based ingredients, free from harsh detergents, artificial fragrances, or mystery chemicals that can trigger sensitive skin.


What Eczema-Prone Skin Really Needs

Eczema is essentially a compromised skin barrier—it needs help holding onto moisture and avoiding irritants. The best products are those that are:

  • Gentle and fragrance-free – to avoid common flare-up triggers
  • Moisturizing and soothing – rich in oils and butters to replenish the skin barrier
  • Anti-inflammatory – ingredients that calm irritation and redness

Tips for Managing Eczema
  • Moisturize immediately after bathing while skin is still damp.
  • Avoid hot water—stick to lukewarm showers.
  • Try an apple cider vinegar rinse on the scalp if dryness and irritation extend to your hairline.
  • Patch test new products before using them widely.

Your Skin, Your Journey

Everyone’s skin is different, especially with eczema. What works beautifully for one person might not be a match for another. That’s why we keep things simple, natural, and free from unnecessary additives—so you can feel confident knowing what’s on your skin.

At Glenn Avenue Soap, our mission has always been the same: create products that are good for you and good for the planet. And when it comes to sensitive skin, sometimes the simplest formulas are the most powerful.

The Myth of Antibacterial Soaps

We get asked many times if our soaps are “antibacterial” and exactly what are antibacterial soaps. I wanted to share some scientific background and information from the FDA.
