Hydrosil’s Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve Review – A Solution for Eczema

Hydrosil’s Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve Review | AD

Two of my three children have had eczema during different stages of their childhood. My eldest’s eczema is under control now but my other daughter who is struggling with dry skin has had some really bad flare-ups recently. The cream that we would normally use for her stopped working so we had to experiment with other options to find something that would soothe her itchy skin to allow it to heal. We found a few new options that seem to work much better for her skin’s current needs. One of them is the Hydrosil’s Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve which you can find out more about in this article. 

A Quick Introduction to Hydrosil’s Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve

Hydrosil’s Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve is a gentle skincare salve designed to help soothe dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin. It’s suitable for both adults and children. The formula combines traditionally soothing ingredients including donkey milk, turmeric butter and cardiospermum extract. It’s free from perfumes, SLS, petroleum and harsh chemicals, making it suitable for sensitive skin. 

Gentle Relief for Eczema-Prine Skin

The ancient-inspired formula is a soothing remedy for dry skin with its ingredients that are historically associated with calming irritation and supporting the skin barrier. The texture of the lotion is pleasant to apply and absorbs nicely. Some eczema treatments can be really greasy and sticky but this one has a nice texture. 

Why Donkey Milk?

One of the hero ingredients in Hydrosil’s Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve is donkey milk. This dates back to ancient Egypt where Cleopatra famously used it in her beauty rituals to help maintain soft, hydrated skin. It has also been used historically to soothe babies and children with skin allergies, due to its naturally gentle properties. 

Often called “hypoallergenic milk”, donkey milk is considered one of the closest milks to human breast milk in composition. This makes it less likely to trigger irritation compared to other dairy ingredients. Donkey milk naturally contains amino acids, antimicrobial proteins, lactoferrin, lysozyme and high levels of vitamin C. These are all nutrients that are believed to help support dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin.

Why Turmeric?

Hydrosil’s Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve also contains patented Biochemica® Turmeric Butter. This is a 100% organic skin butter designed to help deliver turmeric’s soothing benefits more effectively to the skin. Turmeric Butter outperforms cocoa butter when it comes to moisturising very dry skin, and also helps the skin retain moisture. 

Turmeric has also been used historically, especially in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine to help calm inflamed and irritated skin. It’s notoriously difficult to absorb topically so to help this, the turmeric butter is blended with bisabolol. Bisabolol is a calming extract derived from German chamomile and is known for its anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, making it a great addition for products designed for sensitive skin. 

Why Cardiospermum Extract?

Additionally, the Hydrosil Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve contains cardiospermum vine extract. This is a botanical ingredient that is traditionally used to help calm itchy, irritated skin. A UK study found that cardiospermum extract performed comparably to topical steroids for helping soothe eczema symptoms and reduce skin irritation which is amazing!

Free from Harsh Ingredients

Most parents are concerned about using harsh ingredients on their children’s skin. You’ll be pleased to learn that Hydrosil Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve is free from SLS, MI, petroleum, perfumes and other harsh chemicals, making it suitable for use on children.

Conclusion

Perhaps most importantly, does this cream work? I am pleased to say that the Hydrosil Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve has worked wonders for my daughter’s eczema. A few weeks ago, her legs were so dry, red and sore from all the scratching but now this has all calmed down after a quick Hydrosil Turmeric Butter & Hypoallergenic Milk Salve application on the affected areas in the morning and after her evening shower. It’s easy to incorporate into her routine as the formula is easy to apply and doesn’t take long to sink in.
