I am really pleased to see Barefoot SOS as overall winner, as I highly recommend it for eczema. There are many wonderful products and brands on the list that I enjoy using - Essential CareDr BronnerSuti, Alison Claire. I recently wrote a post about my experience judging for these awards so please do go and have a read of that. If you'd like further information about the Free From Skincare Awards then visit their website - www.freefromskincareawards.co.uk

This weekend is the Allergy & Free From show so you can expect a few more posts relating to this topic. It is the highlight of my year as the show (and these awards) are catering to consumers like me and bring more awareness to living with allergies.
