So i have, Canola Oil, Palm oil, coconut oil, sodium citrate, vegetable glycerin and fragrance oil. We are trying to make a small batch for my daugther who has bad eczema. Please help!
 
Google soap recipes and eczema and you should come up with some recipes. Always run any recipe through a lye calculator, such as SoapCalc, before trying them. The recipes you find will probably have several ingredients other than what you listed.
 
I can't make any claims that this will be good for eczema, but I have been making successful bars using 20% palm, 20%coconut, and 60% olive oil pomace. You can always try subbing canola for the pomace (BUT DO RUN EVERYTHING THROUGH YOUR LYE CALCULATOR!), but I've been advised to use soaps with high soybean/canola/corn oil quickly once they have cured a minimum of 4 weeks because those types of oil go rancid quicker. So far the only bar of soap that I've made that has signs of going bad is one I did at 100% hydrogenated vegetable shortening (soybean/cottenseed oils). I have one bar I am keeping just to analyze and it started getting DOS around 2 months.
 
I would go with high % olive oil or even a pure castille (100% OO). Goat's milk as liquid would also be nice. No fragrance.

Ditto this. I've got 2 with eczema & using only water is preferable, but when they absolutely do need something more than water, they use 100% olive oil soap with no fragrance or essential oils.
