"Loved this product! Smells lovely :) I have very dry hands and occasionally get little cracked bits round my nails and the cream has really helped. Am about 2 order it in the full size. Have recommended it 2 a friend with eczema as I think it would really help her."
Nicky, West Linton
"This has cured my psoriasis, I can not thank barefoot botanicals enough for creating a cream that has solved a skin problem that I have been trying to get rid of for years"
Ed, Liphook
"I have suffered with psoriasis and dry skin on my face especially my T Zone for years and this face wash combined with the sos rescue me face and body cream has solved my problem, it is the best product I have ever used for my problem skin."
Ed, Liphook
"Lovely shampoo and really helps my dermatitis. My scalp is much more comfortable and no longer have the need for steroid treatments from my doctor. Highly recommended for anyone suffering scalp problems. "
Denise, North Duffield
"It's has a stong potency like most itchy shampoos but its natural potency which works!
My scalp has stopped icthing after one wash although I am not a usual sufferer of dry scalp.
Be careful of getting in eyes!!!"
Shamara, Croydon
"This is definately a 'don't leave home without it' product. I tend to have redness easily, for any reason. SOS has kept this in check. This is the first product to work for me, and I have purchased many products as a one time purchase. This will be a repeat purchase for me!!"
Jan, Menstrie
"IN conjunction with the SOS face wash, these items are brilliant - very calming on my irritated skin on my face which was sore and red. I have dry skin and have not found the cream too heavy. Not sure about oilier skin though.
"
Patricia, St. Agnes
"Using this together with the shampoo has made an amazing difference to my dry and damaged hair through years of using a coal tar shampoo. Very impressed."
Karen, Stockport
"I have scalp psoriasis and have been using a well know brand of tar shampoo for years, and although it helped with the itching, my psoriasis never cleared and I flaked a lot. Also my hair looked like straw after years of use. I got this product last week and after such a short time I am amazed at how much better my hair looks and even more impressed with my scalp. For the first time in years my psoriasis seems to be actually clearing and I've not been flakey and worring about white shoulders. I just can't tell you how impressed I am. "
Karen, Stockport
"i bought a tube each for my grandchildren (sore areas behind knees & areas of dry skin. their mummies are very pleased with the product & say it smells lovely!"
Olga, Harrogate

Theresa, Herne Bay
"I've used this product on and off over the years because it never irritates, and seems to help my skin get over any get over any particularly sensitive periods."
Ann, London
"Just started using this scalp conditioner, but it does seem to have eased the itching a bit already.
I am hopeful that with continued use, this will put an end to my dry,irritable scalp condition. "
A, Bolton
"Sensitive skin prone to rashes etc but have been happily using this for several years now. Gentle but I feel that it does clean, no unpleasant residue on my face."
Margaret, Felixstowe
"I've been using this amazing cream on my face, avoiding the eye area, as I've recently had excema on my eyelids and my other skin creams seem to be making it worse.
This cream soothed my facial skin with no apparent ill effects on my eyelid areas. It is a lovely soothing consistency, smells good and really softens my skin.
"
Julia, Dawlish
"I've developed eczema on my scalp, stress or whatever, and my Doctor prescribed a tar based shampoo called ""Capasal"". This hasn't worked. So after much googling, I finally came to this website and this shampoo - recommended for eczema, etc. I've only used it twice so far and I have to say I'm impressed! It smells amazing, you know, fresh and organic. No nasty chemicals! My scalp doesn't feel as dry. So I'm looking forward to using it again. "
Richard, Halesowen,
"Hair feels soft. Excellent for daily use after swimming. Smells good. Cleverly designed bottle.

"Really calming shampoo and cleans beautifully, leaving hair looking shiny. As recovering from cancer and advised not to use cosmetics etc with chemicals, colours or perfumes - this is great. Although would love it to be slightly cheaper."
Jan, Chelmsford
"Great stuff.I suffer from Psorasis and cysts on the scalp. Really calms the itching and the cyst looked not as irritated. tried sample have bought larger size now. Have tried other shampoos before but this definetly the best."
Julie, Llangollen
"This cream is so nourishing you can practically live on it! My poor, dry, sensitive skin has come alive again. It seems quite thick but is very easily absorbed, and smells deliciously and delicately of orange blossom and lavender."
Beth, Bristol
"I had this as a sample with my order. I loved this shampoo. It lathered well, had a gorgeous smell and left my hair soft and manageable. A big bonus was my scalp didn't itch or feel tight. I rate this product very highly and would definitely buy now."

William, Oxford
"LEAVES HAIR FEELING SOFT. YOUR HAIR LOOKS HEALTHY AND DOES NOT ITCH AFTER USING THIS PRODUCT. THE CONDITIONER IS ALSO GREAT TO USE WITH THIS SHAMPOO AS WELL. ANY ONE WHO SUFFERS FROM A DRY/ITCHY SCALP LIKE I DO, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THEY USE THIS PRODUCT."
Janet, Kingston-upon-Hull
"Rescue Face & Body Cream is the ultimate in skin salvation. My once ultra sensitive freak out skin is now calmed by a nightly application of this gorgeous smelling cream, I use Rose Fina by day and this by night. Can't recommend highly enough."
Karen, Bewdley
"Excellent product - I have only used the product twice so far but my scalp feels 80% better already. I feel that another couple of uses and my scalp will feel like normal again. Also my hair looks and feels in really good condition. "
Emma, Liversedge
"I got a free sample of this produce with my last order and am about to order a tube of it. My skin is very sensitive at the moment due to me having chemotherapy. I used this around my eyes because I had a sore, itchy patch of dermatitis. The cream goes a long way - there was enough in the sample I got to get rid of the dermatitis and also to soothe my mother-in-law's sore hands! She's ordered a tube too. Would definitely recommend for those with sore, itchy skin."
sarah, leeds
"This has become a lifeline for me - I have eczema on my eyelid and the skin there is so delicate and thin and most creams - even 'natural' ones - leave my eye watering. This one doesn't irritate my eye, but soothes the skin and stops me scratching for several hours at least!"
Elizabeth, Stroud
"I cannot use anything else on my hair with the scalp eczema I suffer from. I have tried other, cheaper brands of shampoo and even GP prescribed medicated shampoo with no success and eventually my scalp hurts so much it becomes unbearable.
This shampoo is perfect for use every day even on the most sensitive of skin. Great product."
Donna, WEST YORKSHIRE
"This isn't cheap but it is good. I am using it for my 15 month old in the bath because of his eczema and it really helps to keep his skin hydrated in the bath."
PW Herefordshire
"I have been having scalp problems(itching and flaking and redness) for the past year and my 4 yr old daughter has had the quivalent of cradle cap since 6 months of age. This barefoot condtioner we sampled was great and will be buying it from now on. It soothed my scalp with a cool feel but there was no yuky mediciny smell afterword and that made it even better."
Wendi, WEST MONROE
"Barefoot Botanicals S.O.S Lifeguard - Soothing Face Wash is not a frothy face wash, but ever so creamy and keeps face feeling silky smooth. I've got fairly normal skin and this product really suits me. A firm favourite."
Vicky, Leicester
"I have the most sensitive, easily upset skin of anyone I know and Barefoot Botanicals S.O.S Lifeguardhas genuinely changed by life!
Usually water and my skin had a pretty abrasive relationship and add a bit of cold weather and I'd end up really horribly dry, raw, chapped skin. Since using this face wash that's all behind me! My skin stays smooth, soft and without irritation, seems stronger to the elements and I managed to get through winter this year completely unfazed! An excellent product!"
Jessika, UK
"I have some horribly dry areas on my body and this seems to help which is lovely since I've tried virtually EVERYTHING in the shops and I've never found anything yet which works and which I like."
Clare, London
"I am currently using this product on my 1 year old son to treat his dermatitis/psoriasis problem. A lovely rich moisturiser which is totally natural. This product really seems to calm his skin and hopefully will mean that I can cut down on steroid use . "
Meryl, northampton
"I use it to soothe a skin rush that had affected me for the last month and a half
the product is very good, my skin is healing rapidly"
Giulia, London
"Since it's a sample, I can't comment on what the results would be after using the shampoo more than once. After using this sample, I felt that my scalp was less itchy and it cleaned my hair very well and left my hair soft."
Deborah, Edinburgh
"I got this sample for my partner who suffers from dandruff. We have been searching for an anti-dandruff shampoo that is cruelty free and so far this is the only one we've found. I think it's great that it is also free from nasty chemicals. My partner said it left his scalp feeling clean and flake free and it wasn't itchy like it normally is. He now wants me to buy him the full size product! The only downside is the price but I'm sure it is worth if you suffer from an irritated scalp. "
Cat, Stamford
"Very nice product. Nice smell and easy to use although no instructions were on the sample which was difficult as it is a specialist shampoo. I found the instructions on another website so intructions for use on the website would be good. The product did not irritate my very sensitive ezcema prone scalp, my hair felt really clean and looked really shiny and it is 100% natural, you can't ask for more!"
Samantha, Trowbridge
"The scent reminds me a little of citronella although it's not in the ingredient list. The ingredients are all natural and that is the major appeal of the product. Unlike other users, I didn't find it too thick to apply at all. A little goes a long way. It went on very well but it does feel a little heavy on the skin, almost like it doesn't absorb fully. Perhaps better for really, really dry skin or as a night cream? "
Mirel, London
"Pleasant botanical scent. A little goes a long way. Non-foaming. Skin does feel soft after use. A nice and gentle pick me up face wash. "
Mirel, London
"Still felt a wee bit of tightness on my skin when using this. Wonderful otherwise with really soft clean skin after using - definately recommend to anyone with sensitive or dry skin."
Ruth, Cockburnspath
"Had a sample and loved this. Could see it was working with just 2 washes...Not cheap though so might have to wait for it to be on offer!"
Emma, Torquay
"So far so good. If the A'Kin conditioner is anything to go by, I expect to get best results with continued use. I possibly liked the A'Kin better but it's early days. This is easy for taking to the gym and was lovely on my childrens' hair. Maybe I am swaying towards A'Kin version because of the gorgeous bottles! One for home, one for gym?"
Tamsyn, Lewes
"Have only been using it for a short time, but so far I'm impressed. It's certainly very moisturising, which is what I wanted.
Would recommend to anyone with very dry face skin."
Megan, Haverford West
"I would recommend this to people who have sensitive or dry scalps. I only used it once as a sample but it made my hair feel soft and shiny afterwards."
Nadia, Brighton
"Absolutely love this shampoo so far. I seem to have a constant itchy scalp and all other shampoos just irritate it, but not this! After just two washes with it, my head hasn't been itchy at all.
Unlike some other completely natural shampoos, Barefoot Botanicals really lathers up well like other shampoo.
It also smells lovely!
The only downer is the price, it is expensive for the size of the bottle.
If it was cheaper it definitely would have got 5 stars."
Natasha, Leeds
"I have used this shampoo on my grandson as he has a dry scalp. I have used it once so far and his hair feels nice and his scalp is looking a little less dry."
Karen, Nottingham
"Once again an excellent product which has improved my itchy scalp considerably. Only one criticism in that if your hair is very dry then you may need an extra intensive conditioner occaisionally. "
Emma, Liversedge
"Although I find it difficult to use perfumed products this one is not too strong. Both my daughter and myself are using the cream. Our skin is dry and sensitive, even to water. But the cream is lovely to use and doesn't leave any residue. It also calms our skin, relieving tightness and leaving it"
J, Dumfries
"This product helps to keep my young son's eczema at bay. It isn't too oily when applied straight to the skin, and keeps the skin well moisturised and smooth."
Dawn, AYLESBURY
"I have very itchy, sore and flaky scalp and the other reviews for this product encouraged me to give it a go but I was disappointed. It certainly hasn't got rid of the problem. The only solution I have ever found is steroid creams from the doctor - and I can't use those at the moment as I'm breastfeeding. Do give it a go as it has obviously worked for some - but don't expect miracles.
NOTE FROM MYPURE: Skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and itchy scalps can be caused by external irritants or internal problems. Skin conditions caused by external irritants are the easier ones to fix. In these cases the symptoms are usually caused by sensitivities to the chemicals found in products used on the skin. These could be certain preservatives, fragrances or evening foaming ingredients. The best way to treat such skin conditions is to avoid the irritating chemicals in the first place and you should find switching to natural ingredients will help. If switching doesn't help then your skin condition could be aggravated by something else such as your diet, stress or emotional well being. In these cases steroid creams only mask the symptoms they rarely fix the cause of the problem. In cases like this a dermatologist or a qualified naturopath may be able to offer further advice."
Elizabeth, Stroud
"I got a free sample of Barefoot Botanicals Dry Scalp Shampoo and conditioner to try and It really soothes my scalp. Thank you for this great product."
Wendi, WEST MONROE
"Bought this product for my son who has scalp eczema for use together with the dry scalp shampoo. Smell was very strong but this disappeared on rinsing. Didnt irritate his scalp at all which was good but unfortunely didnt moisturise enough to be of any great benefit. "
Vivienne, Walsall
"Although it's recommended for excema and psoriasis I found it stings a bit when I use it on my face. Not as gentle as I imagined so I will continue my search for the perfect cream cleanser. Am surprised because I have used their SOS cream for arms and legs. I think it's because it has fragrance and maybe the essential oils in it are a bit too harsh for me."
Susanne, Chislehurst
"I loved the smell. Worked well on my hair, although I ended up with a small amount of dandruff after using this. I normally have no dandruff whatsoever. "
Abigail, Norhtampton
"This stuff is quite weird! It doesn't really foam so you need loads of it to cover your whole body - at least ten times as much as a normal shower gel, which makes it very expensive! It does clean you and it smells nice, and maybe if you have really bad excema or something it'd be be just the thing, but for my mature, dry skin it's not worth it."
Beth, Bristol

Barefoot Botanicals S.O.S Bodyguard - Soothing Body Wash
"I'm kind of reserving judgement on this shampoo. So far I find it a little drying on my hair and scalp. But it could be that it's the changeover from a sulfate-shampoo to a natural one (it can take a while for your scalp/hair to adjust). I do really like the smell - it's citrusy/herby but not overpowering. It generates a lot of lather, too, which not all natural shampoos do!"
Melissa, Crediton
"This is a perfectly ok handcream that feels nice, and smells quite nice. However, it's not really a 'barrier' cream - doesn't last that long and disappears as soon as you wash your hands. It's ok but I don't think I'd buy it again."
Melissa, Crediton
"The smell was quite overpowering but this disappeared after rinsing out. Bought this product for my son who suffers scalp eczema. Was gentle and didnt cause the usual stinging sensation of other shampoos. However left his hair and scalp dry so have stopped using it. "
Vivienne, Walsall
"A little goes a very long way with this shampoo. In fact, I find it rather harsh and 'stripping'. It hasn't really done anything for my scalp either. On the positive side, it does have a rather nice fresh, citrusy smell. I will be using it up as a body wash and using something else on my hair!"
Melissa, Devon
"Had this as a sample in my order. Gorgeous aroma of orange blossom but felt quite heavy on my skin. Probably wouldn't buy this product. "
Elizabeth, Ripley
"I suffer from extremely dry skin and I bought this conditioner and shampoo because the samples worked brilliantly - my hair was left shining and soft and my scalp no longer itched. However, I'm afraid the results I had were nowhere nothing like the previous ones - my hair was dull and flat and my scalp still itched badly. I tried three times using various amounts of conditioner to see if it made a difference and sadly it did not. Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the full product. I did use the matching shampoo as well."

Angela, Coventry
"Not impressed with this at all, actually. I don't even have problem skin (like eczema), just dry so I worried this might be too rich. Needn't have worried. Whilst it smells absolutely divine (reminds me of Origins' Nightamins) it isn't thick or creamy and left my skin tight. Waking up the next day with a few spots was the worst. Def won't buy again."
Laura, West Byfleet

"LEAVES HAIR FEELING SOFT. YOUR HAIR LOOKS HEALTHY AND DOES NOT ITCH AFTER USING THIS PRODUCT. THE CONDITIONER IS ALSO GREAT TO USE WITH THIS SHAMPOO AS WELL. ANY ONE WHO SUFFERS FROM A DRY/ITCHY SCALP LIKE I DO, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THEY USE THIS PRODUCT."
Janet, Kingston-upon-Hull
"Life saver for my excesma prone skin in the winter."
Pauline, Warlingham
"Rescue Face & Body Cream is the ultimate in skin salvation. My once ultra sensitive freak out skin is now calmed by a nightly application of this gorgeous smelling cream, I use Rose Fina by day and this by night. Can't recommend highly enough."
Karen, Bewdley
"Excellent product - I have only used the product twice so far but my scalp feels 80% better already. I feel that another couple of uses and my scalp will feel like normal again. Also my hair looks and feels in really good condition. "
Emma, Liversedge
"I got a free sample of this produce with my last order and am about to order a tube of it. My skin is very sensitive at the moment due to me having chemotherapy. I used this around my eyes because I had a sore, itchy patch of dermatitis. The cream goes a long way - there was enough in the sample I got to get rid of the dermatitis and also to soothe my mother-in-law's sore hands! She's ordered a tube too. Would definitely recommend for those with sore, itchy skin."
sarah, leeds
"This has become a lifeline for me - I have eczema on my eyelid and the skin there is so delicate and thin and most creams - even 'natural' ones - leave my eye watering. This one doesn't irritate my eye, but soothes the skin and stops me scratching for several hours at least!"
Elizabeth, Stroud
"I cannot use anything else on my hair with the scalp eczema I suffer from. I have tried other, cheaper brands of shampoo and even GP prescribed medicated shampoo with no success and eventually my scalp hurts so much it becomes unbearable.
This shampoo is perfect for use every day even on the most sensitive of skin. Great product."
Donna, WEST YORKSHIRE
"This isn't cheap but it is good. I am using it for my 15 month old in the bath because of his eczema and it really helps to keep his skin hydrated in the bath."
PW Herefordshire
"I have been having scalp problems(itching and flaking and redness) for the past year and my 4 yr old daughter has had the quivalent of cradle cap since 6 months of age. This barefoot condtioner we sampled was great and will be buying it from now on. It soothed my scalp with a cool feel but there was no yuky mediciny smell afterword and that made it even better."
Wendi, WEST MONROE
"Barefoot Botanicals S.O.S Lifeguard - Soothing Face Wash is not a frothy face wash, but ever so creamy and keeps face feeling silky smooth. I've got fairly normal skin and this product really suits me. A firm favourite."
Vicky, Leicester
"I have the most sensitive, easily upset skin of anyone I know and Barefoot Botanicals S.O.S Lifeguardhas genuinely changed by life!
Usually water and my skin had a pretty abrasive relationship and add a bit of cold weather and I'd end up really horribly dry, raw, chapped skin. Since using this face wash that's all behind me! My skin stays smooth, soft and without irritation, seems stronger to the elements and I managed to get through winter this year completely unfazed! An excellent product!"
Jessika, UK
"Great stuff. Does what it says on the tin"
Pete, Liverpool
"quite rich but nice texture and smell"
Marnie, London
"I have some horribly dry areas on my body and this seems to help which is lovely since I've tried virtually EVERYTHING in the shops and I've never found anything yet which works and which I like."
Clare, London
"pleasant to use and effective"
Linda, Uckfield
"great idea for keeping eczema at bay"
Linda, Uckfield
"I am currently using this product on my 1 year old son to treat his dermatitis/psoriasis problem. A lovely rich moisturiser which is totally natural. This product really seems to calm his skin and hopefully will mean that I can cut down on steroid use . "
Meryl, northampton
"I use it to soothe a skin rush that had affected me for the last month and a half
the product is very good, my skin is healing rapidly"
Giulia, London
"Since it's a sample, I can't comment on what the results would be after using the shampoo more than once. After using this sample, I felt that my scalp was less itchy and it cleaned my hair very well and left my hair soft."
Deborah, Edinburgh
"I got this sample for my partner who suffers from dandruff. We have been searching for an anti-dandruff shampoo that is cruelty free and so far this is the only one we've found. I think it's great that it is also free from nasty chemicals. My partner said it left his scalp feeling clean and flake free and it wasn't itchy like it normally is. He now wants me to buy him the full size product! The only downside is the price but I'm sure it is worth if you suffer from an irritated scalp. "
Cat, Stamford
"good"
Paul, Sheffield
"Very nice product. Nice smell and easy to use although no instructions were on the sample which was difficult as it is a specialist shampoo. I found the instructions on another website so intructions for use on the website would be good. The product did not irritate my very sensitive ezcema prone scalp, my hair felt really clean and looked really shiny and it is 100% natural, you can't ask for more!"
Samantha, Trowbridge
"Ok"
Enrique, Dagenham
"Best shampoo so far for eradicating scalp irritation."
Conrad, BARNET
"Would recommend"
Jennie, Radstock
"I only had a sample to try I thought it was very good and suited my dry scalp"
Hilda, Bideford
"The scent reminds me a little of citronella although it's not in the ingredient list. The ingredients are all natural and that is the major appeal of the product. Unlike other users, I didn't find it too thick to apply at all. A little goes a long way. It went on very well but it does feel a little heavy on the skin, almost like it doesn't absorb fully. Perhaps better for really, really dry skin or as a night cream? "
Mirel, London
"Pleasant botanical scent. A little goes a long way. Non-foaming. Skin does feel soft after use. A nice and gentle pick me up face wash. "
Mirel, London
"Still felt a wee bit of tightness on my skin when using this. Wonderful otherwise with really soft clean skin after using - definately recommend to anyone with sensitive or dry skin."
Ruth, Cockburnspath
"Seems to do the trick!"
Gemma, London
"Expensive but effective. "
Linsey, Croydon
"Necessary because the shampoo is quite drying. "
Linsey, Croydon
"Very nourishing!"
Iris, Guildford
"Had a sample and loved this. Could see it was working with just 2 washes...Not cheap though so might have to wait for it to be on offer!"
Emma, Torquay
"This was a sample ordered as a gift, it looks good but time will tell!"
Jennifer, Ossett
"Have only tried sample, liked it."
Rebecca, Bromley
"lovely smell and texture"
Heather, Bromley
"lovely smell, seems to work"
Heather, Bromley
"I love the smell. Not too heavy and no reaction from my sensitive scalp."
Lesley, Bury
"So far so good. If the A'Kin conditioner is anything to go by, I expect to get best results with continued use. I possibly liked the A'Kin better but it's early days. This is easy for taking to the gym and was lovely on my childrens' hair. Maybe I am swaying towards A'Kin version because of the gorgeous bottles! One for home, one for gym?"
Tamsyn, Lewes
"Soothing cream"
Mandy, Bournemouth
"Best I've used"
Isobelle, Shrewsbury
"Really good, most other handcreams feel the same but this one seems to protect and moisturise and stays on!"
Isobelle, Shrewsbury
"Have only been using it for a short time, but so far I'm impressed. It's certainly very moisturising, which is what I wanted.
Would recommend to anyone with very dry face skin."
Megan, Haverford West
"I would recommend this to people who have sensitive or dry scalps. I only used it once as a sample but it made my hair feel soft and shiny afterwards."
Nadia, Brighton
"Absolutely love this shampoo so far. I seem to have a constant itchy scalp and all other shampoos just irritate it, but not this! After just two washes with it, my head hasn't been itchy at all.
Unlike some other completely natural shampoos, Barefoot Botanicals really lathers up well like other shampoo.
It also smells lovely!
The only downer is the price, it is expensive for the size of the bottle.
If it was cheaper it definitely would have got 5 stars."
Natasha, Leeds
"The same as for the shampoo - great product, stopped my itchy scalp after using just twice, smells great.
One downside - too expensive. If it was cheaper it definitely would have got 5 stars."
Natasha, Leeds
"Very nice - makes both your hair and scalp feel conditioned."
Carol, Guisborough
"very effective"
Chris, Wootton Bassett
"I have used this shampoo on my grandson as he has a dry scalp. I have used it once so far and his hair feels nice and his scalp is looking a little less dry."
Karen, Nottingham
"excellent"
David, Dartford
"excellent"
David, Dartford
"Once again an excellent product which has improved my itchy scalp considerably. Only one criticism in that if your hair is very dry then you may need an extra intensive conditioner occaisionally. "
Emma, Liversedge
"Although I find it difficult to use perfumed products this one is not too strong. Both my daughter and myself are using the cream. Our skin is dry and sensitive, even to water. But the cream is lovely to use and doesn't leave any residue. It also calms our skin, relieving tightness and leaving it"
J, Dumfries
"This product helps to keep my young son's eczema at bay. It isn't too oily when applied straight to the skin, and keeps the skin well moisturised and smooth."
Dawn, AYLESBURY
"Liked the smell and all natural product, reassuring to know it won't cause any irritation."
Dawn, AYLESBURY
"Smells very natural. Reassuring to know it won't cause any irritation."
Dawn, AYLESBURY
"I have very itchy, sore and flaky scalp and the other reviews for this product encouraged me to give it a go but I was disappointed. It certainly hasn't got rid of the problem. The only solution I have ever found is steroid creams from the doctor - and I can't use those at the moment as I'm breastfeeding. Do give it a go as it has obviously worked for some - but don't expect miracles.
NOTE FROM MYPURE: Skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and itchy scalps can be caused by external irritants or internal problems. Skin conditions caused by external irritants are the easier ones to fix. In these cases the symptoms are usually caused by sensitivities to the chemicals found in products used on the skin. These could be certain preservatives, fragrances or evening foaming ingredients. The best way to treat such skin conditions is to avoid the irritating chemicals in the first place and you should find switching to natural ingredients will help. If switching doesn't help then your skin condition could be aggravated by something else such as your diet, stress or emotional well being. In these cases steroid creams only mask the symptoms they rarely fix the cause of the problem. In cases like this a dermatologist or a qualified naturopath may be able to offer further advice."
Elizabeth, Stroud
"I got a free sample of Barefoot Botanicals Dry Scalp Shampoo and conditioner to try and It really soothes my scalp. Thank you for this great product."
Wendi, WEST MONROE
"Bought this product for my son who has scalp eczema for use together with the dry scalp shampoo. Smell was very strong but this disappeared on rinsing. Didnt irritate his scalp at all which was good but unfortunely didnt moisturise enough to be of any great benefit. "
Vivienne, Walsall
"Although it's recommended for excema and psoriasis I found it stings a bit when I use it on my face. Not as gentle as I imagined so I will continue my search for the perfect cream cleanser. Am surprised because I have used their SOS cream for arms and legs. I think it's because it has fragrance and maybe the essential oils in it are a bit too harsh for me."
Susanne, Chislehurst
"Haven't noticed a huge difference, only that the hair is smoother. "
Kim, London
"Haven't noticed a huge difference, only that the hair is smoother. "
Kim, London
"I loved the smell. Worked well on my hair, although I ended up with a small amount of dandruff after using this. I normally have no dandruff whatsoever. "
Abigail, Norhtampton
"good"
Jone, Brighton
"This stuff is quite weird! It doesn't really foam so you need loads of it to cover your whole body - at least ten times as much as a normal shower gel, which makes it very expensive! It does clean you and it smells nice, and maybe if you have really bad excema or something it'd be be just the thing, but for my mature, dry skin it's not worth it."
Beth, Bristol
"I'm kind of reserving judgement on this shampoo. So far I find it a little drying on my hair and scalp. But it could be that it's the changeover from a sulfate-shampoo to a natural one (it can take a while for your scalp/hair to adjust). I do really like the smell - it's citrusy/herby but not overpowering. It generates a lot of lather, too, which not all natural shampoos do!"
Melissa, Crediton
"It cleaned my hair fine but I hated the smell."
Kadri-Riin, Stockport
"This is a perfectly ok handcream that feels nice, and smells quite nice. However, it's not really a 'barrier' cream - doesn't last that long and disappears as soon as you wash your hands. It's ok but I don't think I'd buy it again."
Melissa, Crediton
"I requested this for my daughter but she hasnt tried it yet."
Margaret, Ashford
"The smell was quite overpowering but this disappeared after rinsing out. Bought this product for my son who suffers scalp eczema. Was gentle and didnt cause the usual stinging sensation of other shampoos. However left his hair and scalp dry so have stopped using it. "
Vivienne, Walsall
"No difference in my itchy scalp after 1 week , but hair very shiney."
Anneliese, Brentwood
"No difference in my itchy scalp after 1 week , but hair very shiney."
Anneliese, Brentwood
"A little goes a very long way with this shampoo. In fact, I find it rather harsh and 'stripping'. It hasn't really done anything for my scalp either. On the positive side, it does have a rather nice fresh, citrusy smell. I will be using it up as a body wash and using something else on my hair!"
Melissa, Devon
"Wasn't keen."
Jo, London
"Had this as a sample in my order. Gorgeous aroma of orange blossom but felt quite heavy on my skin. Probably wouldn't buy this product. "
Elizabeth, Ripley
"haven't used"
Elizabeth, Chester
"I suffer from extremely dry skin and I bought this conditioner and shampoo because the samples worked brilliantly - my hair was left shining and soft and my scalp no longer itched. However, I'm afraid the results I had were nowhere nothing like the previous ones - my hair was dull and flat and my scalp still itched badly. I tried three times using various amounts of conditioner to see if it made a difference and sadly it did not. Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the full product. I did use the matching shampoo as well."
Angela, Coventry

Angela, Coventry
"Not impressed with this at all, actually. I don't even have problem skin (like eczema), just dry so I worried this might be too rich. Needn't have worried. Whilst it smells absolutely divine (reminds me of Origins' Nightamins) it isn't thick or creamy and left my skin tight. Waking up the next day with a few spots was the worst. Def won't buy again."
Laura, West Byfleet
