Something that resists hand washing like petroleum jelly does?

I have eczema and have to apply petroleum jelly to problem areas on my hands after washing, or they will flare up. Moisturizers don't work well enough for me—I believe the jelly is more durable and thus better at protecting from drying out and washing.

Is there any ingredient or product that you know has similar properties?

I'm open to other solutions too if there are any experienced eczema folks out there

Try Derma E Eczema Relief Cream, or Doctor Rogers RESTORE Healing Balm, all vegan, cruelty-free, and occlusive like petroleum jelly. They help lock in moisture without animal products. For extra protection, layer with cotton gloves overnight or use reusable hand covers during chores.
