If you’ve ever felt like your skin reacts to everything, you’re not alone. Many people with eczema-prone or highly sensitive skin feel like they’ve tried it all—only to keep ending up with redness, dryness, or irritation.
At Diary of Queen Esther, we take a natural, simple approach to skincare. Our handcrafted soaps are made without harsh sulfates, artificial dyes, or synthetic fillers. Instead, we craft our formulas using gentle, plant-based ingredients selected with sensitive skin in mind.
So, if you’re asking, “Which soaps are best for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?” — here are five bars we often recommend:
⸻
This bar is our #1 go-to for super sensitive skin.
• Crafted with a high content of shea butter and castor oil
• Completely fragrance-free and contains no essential oils
• Ideal for babies, kids, and anyone with delicate or reactive skin
Even though it’s called Shea Butter Baby, it’s loved by all ages for its mildness and simplicity.

2. Oatmeal Soap
If your skin tends to feel dry, itchy, or inflamed, this bar is a game-changer.
• Made with castor oil and finely ground organic oats
• Oats are known to naturally soothe itchy, uncomfortable skin
• No added fragrances or harsh additives
This is a customer favorite for seasonal dry skin or year-round relief from environmental triggers.
⸻
For lovers of simple, coconut-based skincare, this one’s for you.
• Formulated with a high coconut oil content, similar to a castile soap
• Gentle lather, no added scent
• Perfect for those who want to avoid shea butter or fragrance altogether
Coconut oil is a naturally cleansing oil that still respects the needs of delicate skin.
⸻
A luxurious unscented bar that works well for ultra-sensitive skin types.
• Crafted with more olive oil than our other soaps
• Contains ground olive leaf herb to provide a gentle exfoliation
• Olive leaf also brings added skin-supporting properties without being too aggressive
This bar gives a clean feel without stripping your skin of its natural moisture.
⸻
Looking for a shea butter–free option? This one is rich, creamy, and deeply moisturizing.
• Made with a high content of raw cacao (cocoa) butter
• Unscented and free of essential oils
• Excellent for skin that reacts to common butters or fragrances
This bar is ideal for those seeking moisture and softness, without any added scent or ingredients that may cause irritation.

Bonus Tip: Pair It with Super Butter or Whipped Cacao (Cocoa) Butter
For long-lasting hydration and relief from irritation, pair your sensitive skin soap with one of our nourishing body butters:
• Rich in shea butter, mango butter, and plant oils
• Free from artificial dyes and synthetic perfumes
• Perfect for super dry, eczema-prone, or irritated skin
• Loved by parents and customers looking for a natural eczema relief alternative
This is our most popular all-over body butter for deep moisture and comfort.
• Crafted with only three ingredients: raw cocoa butter, castor oil, and grapeseed oil
• Ultra-pure and unscented, making it ideal for super sensitive skin
• Offers a lightweight yet protective layer of moisture
• A favorite for those avoiding essential oils and fragrance altogether
Whether you’re healing, moisturizing, or simply preserving your skin barrier, these two butters are gentle, nourishing, and a must-have for sensitive skincare routines.
