C.O. Bigelow Dr. Hiosous Quince Hand Lotion
  • FemChem
    I have moderate ezcema on my hands and this lotion is the only thing I've found that helps. It seems to work better than prescription corticosteroids. Unfortunately, I can't find a place to buy it anymore and I'd like to find a replacement. What ingredients do you think are actually beneficial?
    Thanks for your help!

    @FemChem (Love the screen name!): I don't see any "magic" ingredients here that would make this product work so well for eczema. But I do notice that the formula is unusual in that it has cyclopentasiloxane (CPS) as the 2nd ingredient. That ingredient will help the other spread and will keep the formula feeling light because it evaporates once it's on your skin. There have been some recent regulatory/supply chain concerns about CPS which may possibly account for the fact that you can't find this formula any longer.

    The ingredients which are delivering the primary benefit are in the first 10 or so, so look for another product that contains these:   

    Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Caprylic /Capric 
    Triglyceride, Myristyl Myristate, Dimethicone.

    Let us know if you find anything and good luck!
