Body lotion

[Squirt83]

Just curious, what body lotion is considered for safe use with Pbc.

[DonnaBoll Administrator]

Honestly, I don't know of any that someone should not use. Personally, with the itching, I stayed away from any perfumed soaps or lotions. I stuck with Baby Magic and Dial soap and any lotion that I felt was the closest to having natural ingredients. What have you found helpful?

[Squirt83 in reply to DonnaBoll]

I've been using Aveeno. So far so good.

[Squirt83 in reply to Squirt83]

Using Dove soap as well. Seems to not dry out my skin so much.

[DonnaBoll Administrator in reply to Squirt83]

For me, like I said, I only used Dial and Baby Magic soap for many years. Anything that was scented was awful for me. Glad Dove works for you. It can often be trial and error for sure.

Aveeno for me.

I think they have an oatmeal enriched Aveeno too. I know sometimes oatmeal helps with itching if it's a problem for you.

[butterflyEi in reply to DonnaBoll]

yes I use their face cream and body cream which is enriched with oat and lavendar.

Eucerin for excema helps me

Glad you found something that works for you. Makes such a difference!

Gold Bond anti-itch with menthol (teal bottle) helps me. I don’t use it unless the itch gets bad. I use Aveeno with oatmeal, or the generic brand, as a more of a daily moisturizer. Living in Nevada it gets dry here.

thanks for the suggestions... I might try the Aveeno lotion. Seems as I've gotten older my skin is so dry.

I use aveeno body wash and body lotion too

Savanna Bee Co has a marvelous body balm stick and/or body butter which is great when you get tired of only using eucerin or cerave or another basic moisturizer . I usually use Cerave but every once in while, I want a great scent. They are scented we ith essential oils. Pricey (for me) but worth it

[DonnaBoll Administrator in reply to Sister65]

I will check that out. Body butter is so nice to use on your body.

[DonnaBoll Administrator in reply to Sister65]

I just looked on their website. What great products! might try some of the body butter or lotion. Any recommendations for scents?

[Sister65 in reply to DonnaBoll]

I like the Lavender

[DonnaBoll Administrator in reply to Sister65]

I ordered some lotion. Anxious to get it! Thanks for telling us about this site.
