Our Eczema Story: Why I Chose Natural Care Over Steroids

Our Eczema Story: Why I Chose Natural Care Over Steroids

When I realized my daughter had eczema, I wasn’t confused or overwhelmed—I knew exactly what it was because I’ve lived with it myself. At first, like most parents, I followed the doctor’s orders. We used the prescriptions they gave us, thinking it would give her some quick relief. But after reading the ingredient list and realizing how much steroid medication was involved, I paused. I didn’t want my little girl’s body absorbing that long-term.

Still, I gave it time. But the eczema only got worse. Her skin was inflamed, the bumps were spreading, and even the prescription creams weren’t doing their job anymore. That’s when I made a decision: I had to do better for her.

I started researching, mixing, and testing until I created something so gentle and simple that it actually worked. The final recipe—made with real, nourishing oils—stopped her itching immediately. Within a week, the redness and inflammation were gone, and her skin had cleared.

This wasn’t the start of Royal Oils, but it was an organic and necessary addition to our growth. What began as a way to care for my children expanded naturally into something more—something other families could trust too.

What Is Eczema, Really?

Eczema (or atopic dermatitis) is more than just dry skin. It’s an inflammatory condition that shows up as itchy, red, sometimes scaly patches—especially in children. It can be triggered by stress, allergens, certain fabrics, or even changes in the weather.

Why Natural Matters

Most over-the-counter and prescription creams rely heavily on steroids or petroleum-based ingredients. While they might offer short-term relief, they can thin the skin over time and stop working altogether. That’s why I turned to nature—and stayed there.

At Royal Oils, we use gentle, plant-based ingredients that truly support the skin’s healing without harsh side effects:

Safflower Oil – Soothes and strengthens the skin barrier with linoleic acid

Sunflower Oil – Calms inflammation and hydrates sensitive skin

Grapeseed Oil – Tightens and heals without clogging pores

Olive Oil – Nourishes deeply with antioxidants and fatty acids

Every product is made with intention—free of steroids, fragrances, nuts, and anything that could cause irritation.
