BEE BAR! :) I have not had cracked or bleeding hands after finding this stuff a few years back. It has kept my eczema to a minimum so much so that my dermatologist wanted to know what it is, and actually agreed that it seems to work as well as the expensive prescriptions.
It is a bar, made with bee's wax and other natural skin softening ingredients. The bee's wax makes it resistent to washing off immediately like lotions do, so the soothing protection lasts for hours. Anyone with eczema knows that getting your hands wet only makes it worse, however Bee Bar protects my hands from water pretty well.
Simply clasp the bee bar in your hands and rub hands together like a bar of soap. The bar warms in your hands enough to apply to your hands. It keeps them soft and coated, and protected for hours. The bar doesn't dry out and lasts a long time.
I'm sure there must be other brands that may work, however just in case you'd like to try Bee Bar, this is what I'm using:
