Eczema is one of the most common skin concerns our customers ask us about, and many of them are looking for gentle, natural care. We have it, thanks to nature and the herbs our family grows in our organic gardens.
Regular, proper care and gentle natural products like those from InaEssentials can help keep skin comfortable and calm.
Looking for a chamomile cream for itchy skin? Below we explain how a chamomile cream can help soothe dry, itchy, eczema-prone skin, what to look for in a natural eczema cream, how to use it, and when it is time to see a doctor.
What’s the Difference Between Eczema and Psoriasis?
Many people confuse eczema with psoriasis, but these are actually two different skin conditions. Here’s what you need to know:
Eczema:
-
Cause: Often linked to genetics, allergies, irritants or stress. It causes dry, red, itchy skin.
-
Symptoms: Eczema can appear anywhere on the body and often shows up as red, dry patches.
-
Care: Regular moisturising, soothing balms and gentle natural ingredients are the basis of everyday care.
Psoriasis:
-
Cause: Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to regenerate too quickly.
-
Symptoms: Typically appears on elbows, knees, and scalp, forming silvery scales.
-
Care: Psoriasis is diagnosed and managed by a doctor. Gentle moisturising care can help keep skin comfortable alongside medical advice.

-
Made with natural-origin ingredients
-
Made with sensitive skin in mind
Chamomile Cream Benefits: What Is Inside Exemotosin
The benefits of a chamomile cream depend on the whole formula, not on one ingredient. Our cream combines four ingredients as everyday care for dry, irritated skin:
- Chamomile extract: soothing care for reddened and irritated skin.
- St. John’s wort oil: supports the comfort and look of sensitive, reactive skin.
- Propolis: protective care that supports the skin’s natural barrier.
- Urea: deeply moisturises and softens rough skin.
This is cosmetic care. It helps skin feel comfortable and looks after dry patches, but it does not replace medical advice. To learn more about the plant itself, read our guide to chamomile for the skin.
Natural Cream for Eczema: What to Look For
Many people search for a natural eczema cream, and there is no single answer for every skin. A few simple checks help you choose:
- A rich texture: dry, eczema-prone skin usually likes a cream that moisturises well. Exemotosin is a cream, not a thin lotion.
- Ingredients you recognise: soothing plants such as chamomile, together with moisturising ingredients such as urea.
- Gentle everyday use: choose a product made for sensitive, irritated skin, and stop using anything that stings.
- A patch test: apply a small amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before using it more widely.
Natural does not automatically mean it suits everyone, so watch how your own skin responds. For an overview of eczema types and triggers, see eczema: everything you need to know.
How to Care for Eczema-Prone Skin
Proper skincare when dealing with eczema involves a few simple steps that help relieve symptoms and prevent flare-ups:
1. Moisturise regularly
Using moisturising creams is essential to keep the skin hydrated and protected.
2. Avoid irritants
Try to avoid substances that may irritate your skin, such as rough synthetic fabrics, harsh soaps and strong detergents.
3. Wear soft, comfortable clothing
Avoid synthetic materials that can rub or irritate the skin.
How to Use Chamomile Cream on Itchy Skin
A simple routine helps the cream work as everyday care:
- Wash gently: use lukewarm water and a mild cleanser, then pat the skin dry and leave it slightly damp.
- Apply a thin layer: massage Exemotosin into clean skin until it is absorbed. Use it morning and evening, and again after washing your hands or bathing if the skin feels tight.
- Seal in moisture: applying within a few minutes of bathing helps hold moisture in the skin.
- Test first: on a new area, patch test first. Keep the cream away from your eyes and from broken skin, and stop using it if the skin becomes irritated.
Scratching can make itchy skin feel worse, so keep your nails short. If you notice the itch is stronger in cold weather, our article on itchy skin in the cold explains why. For everyday home care ideas, see our guide to home care for eczema.

When to See a Doctor About Eczema
Cosmetic care is for everyday comfort and does not replace medical advice. Please see your GP or pharmacist if:
- the skin is weeping, crusting or bleeding, or looks infected (yellow crusts, pus, swelling, increasing pain or warmth);
- you have a fever or feel generally unwell alongside the rash;
- the rash spreads quickly, covers large areas or comes with painful clusters of blisters (seek urgent medical help);
- the itching keeps you awake at night or affects daily life;
- the skin has not improved after a couple of weeks of regular moisturising, or keeps coming back;
- the rash is on the eyelids or around the eyes, or it affects a baby or young child;
- you are not sure whether it is eczema, psoriasis or something else.
A doctor can confirm the diagnosis and advise on treatment. Daily moisturising care is usually still part of the plan, so ask if you are unsure how your products fit together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chamomile cream good for itchy skin?
Chamomile has a long tradition in skincare for soothing, so a chamomile cream can be a gentle choice for dry, irritated skin that feels itchy. It is cosmetic care: it helps skin feel calmer and more comfortable, but it cannot tell you why the skin itches. If itching is severe, constant or comes with a rash that does not improve, see a doctor.
Is chamomile good for eczema?
Many people with eczema-prone skin like chamomile for its soothing reputation, and it is a common ingredient in gentle skincare. It does not replace medical advice, and any plant ingredient can irritate some skin, so patch test first. You can read more in our guide to chamomile for the skin.
Can I use a chamomile cream on my face?
Exemotosin is made as a body cream. Facial skin is thinner and more sensitive, so patch test on a small area first, keep the cream away from your eyes and stop using it if the skin stings or turns red. For eczema on the face or eyelids, please speak to your GP or pharmacist.
How often should I apply chamomile cream?
Apply a thin layer to clean skin in the morning and evening, and again after washing your hands or bathing if the skin feels dry. Massage it in until it is absorbed.
Can eczema go away for good?
Eczema is often a long-term condition that comes and goes. Many people have calmer periods when they moisturise regularly and avoid their triggers, but no cream can promise that eczema will never return. For hand eczema in particular, see our guide to eczema on the hands.
Eczema can be a real daily burden, but with consistent care and gentle products like the Chamomile Psoriasis & Eczema Cream, you can help keep your skin comfortable and calm.
Natural ingredients offer gentle, soothing everyday care.
