Living with eczema-prone skin can be a daily challenge. The redness, the itching, the discomfort, and the uncertainty about what will trigger the next flare-up can leave people frustrated and exhausted. Skincare is often at the heart of this struggle. While countless products claim to soothe or heal, many contain long lists of harsh chemicals, fragrances, and synthetic preservatives that end up making things worse.
This is why more families and individuals are turning towards a non toxic skincare routine. Simple, clean, and focused on nourishing the skin barrier rather than overwhelming it, this approach brings calm and relief without compromise. In this blog, we’ll explore a two-step regimen that supports eczema-prone skin using just two products: our Unscented Tallow Soap and Nourish Balm. Together, they provide a safe, effective, and natural recipe for everyday care.
Why Non Toxic Skincare Matters for Eczema-Prone Skin
Eczema-prone skin is more than just sensitive. The protective barrier that keeps out irritants and holds in moisture is weakened, which makes the skin more vulnerable to dryness, allergens, and environmental stress. For this reason, the products used daily matter enormously.
Conventional creams and cleansers often contain ingredients like sulphates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. While they might create the appearance of improvement, they can strip oils, disturb the microbiome, and cause further irritation over time. For someone already struggling with eczema, these chemicals are not just unnecessary – they are often harmful.
A non toxic skincare routine avoids this problem by relying on ingredients the body already recognises. Instead of fighting the skin, it nourishes, calms, and strengthens the barrier so the skin can function as it was designed to.
The Power of Keeping It Simple
Many people feel overwhelmed by the number of skincare steps recommended online. From toners to serums, moisturisers to treatments, the routines can be lengthy, expensive, and complicated. For eczema-prone skin, less is more. Simplicity is not only easier to follow but also gentler and more effective.
That’s why we recommend a two-step, non toxic skincare routine:
-
Cleanse with Unscented Soap
-
Moisturise with Nourish Balm
This pared-down approach eliminates unnecessary products and focuses on the essentials: gentle cleansing and deep hydration.
Step 1: Gentle Cleansing with Unscented Soap
Cleansing is the foundation of any skincare routine, but for eczema-prone skin, it must be done carefully. Standard soaps and washes often contain detergents like sodium lauryl sulphate, which strip away natural oils and disrupt the skin barrier. For skin already struggling to retain moisture, this is a disaster.
Our Unscented Tallow Soap is different. Made with grass-fed tallow, it creates a creamy, nourishing lather without synthetic foaming agents. Because it’s unscented, there are no added fragrances to trigger irritation. Instead, it cleanses gently while leaving behind a layer of natural oils that help maintain the skin’s protective barrier.
Parents often tell us how their children’s flare-ups reduced once they swapped out mainstream soaps for our Unscented Soap. Adults with eczema-prone skin also find their skin feels calmer and less reactive after making this simple change.
How to use:
-
Use lukewarm water hot water dries the skin further.
-
Lather the tallow soap in your hands, not directly on the skin, and gently apply.
-
Keep cleansing brief to avoid over-drying.
-
Pat dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing.
This small shift makes a big difference in how the skin feels throughout the day.
Step 2: Locking in Moisture with Nourish Balm
After cleansing, the skin needs to be replenished. Eczema-prone skin struggles to hold onto moisture, so sealing hydration in is critical. Many commercial moisturisers rely on petroleum jelly or synthetic emollients. While these may create a protective film, they don’t provide the nutrients the skin needs to repair itself.
Our Nourish Balm is built differently. Using grass-fed tallow as its base, it delivers vitamins A, D, E and K, along with fatty acids that mirror the skin’s own natural oils. This makes it highly bioavailable the skin can absorb and use these nutrients directly. The balm creates a breathable layer that locks in moisture without clogging pores.
How to use:
-
Apply immediately after cleansing, while the skin is still slightly damp.
-
Warm a small amount of nourish balm between your fingers until it softens.
-
Gently press into the skin rather than rubbing.
-
Reapply as needed throughout the day on dry patches or irritated areas.
Parents often tell us they notice less redness, fewer scratch marks, and more comfortable nights after introducing Nourish Balm into their child’s daily care. Adults, too, find it helps calm irritation and restore balance over time.
Why This Two-Step Routine Works
The key to managing eczema-prone skin is restoring and maintaining the barrier. By cleansing without stripping oils and immediately sealing in hydration, this two-step non toxic skincare routine achieves exactly that.
-
Unscented Soap – Protects natural oils while removing dirt and irritants.
-
Nourish Balm – Repairs, restores, and locks in hydration.
Together, they form a cycle of gentle cleansing and deep replenishment the very recipe eczema-prone skin needs.
Unlike multi-step routines filled with serums and treatments, this approach is easy to follow daily, even for busy families. The simplicity means fewer opportunities for irritation and more consistency, which is crucial for long-term results.

Creating a Supportive Environment for Skin Health
Skincare is central, but there are other ways to support eczema-prone skin. Alongside this two-step regimen, we suggest:
-
Short baths or showers – Long exposure to water can dry the skin further.
-
Soft fabrics – Choose breathable cotton over synthetics that may irritate.
-
Balanced diet – Nutrient-rich foods support overall skin health.
-
Stress management – Stress can trigger flare-ups in both children and adults.
By combining external care with lifestyle adjustments, the skin is supported from all sides.
Why We Trust This Approach
At Fierce Nature, we believe that skincare should be safe enough to eat, free from hidden chemicals, and rooted in traditional wisdom. Our recipes are designed to work with the skin, not against it. For eczema-prone skin, this philosophy matters even more.
This two-step, non toxic skincare routine is not about quick fixes. It’s about long-term resilience, comfort, and calm. By nourishing the barrier with ingredients it recognises, we help the skin do what it was made to do: protect, repair, and thrive.
