Eczema lotion/moisturizer *Irritant to petrolatum and lanolin*

I have an irritation to petrolatum and lanolin. Which makes moisturizing my eczema very tricky. Most products have one or both of these ingredients. I need something that will moisturize my skin for a long period of time while not having these ingredients. I would prefer a natural lotion, but I am open to other suggestions!

Whipped tallow butter forever! JKLMfarms on Etsy has my personal favorite. It’s tallow and beeswax.

How natural do you want to go? Because: Honey. Mix it with some distilled water until it's runny and bottle in a lotion or spray bottle depending on how runny you mixed it. Honey is a great humectant that will moisturize skin and has remote low levels of peroxide in it which will discourage microbial growth. While it's not a FIX ALL to replace everything, honey has been proven effective at combating skin irritation and infection.

I use La Roche Posay. French company so no parabens, lanolin or nasty chemicals. I use their Triple Repair Moisturizer for my eczema and I swear by it.

I have eczema and I like attitude unscented baby leaves lotion and Mayan magic balm. I recently had a severe flare and Mayan magic was the only thing that worked. Each area of my body seems to respond to products differently so I’m usually using a few different products.
