Forces of Nature Eczema Cleanse (Discontinued) Review

My youngest has had some bad eczema. My oldest had a few flare-up, but nothing I do seems to get rid of the baby's. I know it's environmental and either from the bad air, mold, or water where we live because when we go on vacation, it clears up. I had bought this soap for my oldest but barely used it. It came in a pack of three and I gave 2 soaps to my mom. However, they have discontinued this soap, along with a number of their products. I'm not sure if it's due to a crack down from the FDA (due to the claims it was making it would mean it's an unapproved drug) or if their product just wasn't selling. I have tried a number of different eczema treatments but hadn't had any luck, so decided to try this soap. Although it was old, soap simply dries out and get harder with age, meaning that it lasts longer.

Forces of Nature is a homeopathic company. So with keeping that in mind, there are some extra things that you need to keep in mind when using homeopathy compared to orthodox medicine. I'm really not going to get into the medical side of things, but somethings that I encourage you to research on your own are foods and drinks that you shouldn't take while on homeopathy as well as certain essential oils that you should avoid. Some people say that avoiding certain things is only for when you take homeopathy internally and others say you need to avoid these things even when using homeopathy externally. Anyways, on to my review!

According to this site, this soap is a registered OTC eczema treatment. They are certified organic by Oregon Tilth.

Ingredients

I like that the ingredient list contains the Latin name, common name, and explains what it's for. They've divided the ingredient list into two sections: active and inactive,

Smell and Texture

This is a green soap bar. It doesn't have much of a smell to it. If you're planning on using this oil on kids, I would definitely look up each essential oil, in particular: rosemary essential oil. Most aromatherapists do not recommend using it on kids younger than 10. That goes for external use and diffusing. Another issue that I have is pine oil, which is known to irritate sensitive skin.

I used this on my daughter a few times before trying to find the ingredients online. I had thrown the box away a long time ago. I've stopped using it on her since then.

Size, Price, and Packaging

They used to sell this as a single bar or in a pack of three. I can't remember what I paid for it, but it wasn't that expensive. It was just a bar of soap in a cardboard soap box.

Would I Get This Again?

No, I would not. First off all, it's no longer available and I don't know exactly why but I have my suspicions. Although they say it was registered to be sold as an eczema treatment, I wonder if they registered it with the proper authorities. Secondly, I have some issues with the ingredients.

Safety

Please look up each essential oil and see if it is contradictory for the person you are going to use it on. In particular, here's info on rosemary oil and kids under 10. I would also double check the homeopathic medicines to make sure they suit that person as well. This is registered as an eczema treatment and proper care must be taken before using it.

Patch test before using.
