Sensitive Skin?

[missmuffet]

I have allergies to fragrance, formaldehyde and various chemicals. Once I used a herbal shower gel and had an anaphylactic reaction which is really bad. Now I am using hypoallergenic soaps, fragrance free with good results.

So far I have used:

1. Vanicream body wash- It is a good all natural bath soap but there are no moisturizers in it and it tends to dry out the skin. I use the shampoo as well.

2. Toms' of Maine fragrance free, sensitive- I am using this right now for a hand soap. It is working well. Could be a little more moisturizing. This might be difficult to find at the grocery store but some pharmacies could have it.

3. The Yellow bird- This soap you could not find at the grocery store. I get it on Amazon. It is all natural and has a lot of moisturizers. I have not used it as well but looked like a good hypoallergenic soap to try.

4. Amish Farms- This soap is really made by the Amish. You get 5 huge bars. I have not tried it as yet but it sounds like a good product. You could only buy it on-line.

Did you try coconut oil to brush your teeth instead of toothpaste?  Very good :)

I use therabreath for my toothpaste and mouthwash as well. It is excellent. Only mouthwash that has ever worked. I have bad sinuses and acid reflex. Two bad things for bad breath.

I'd be careful about that Yellow Bird. I use mine to spice up my food.
Haven't tried it yet to wash with. But it does wash my food down (and out) quickly.

Thanks MM.....   (a little humor:)

A pity that I can't have anything like that anymore. The ghost pepper sauce would be my choice.

Yes, I got that. I would be in the ER if I used any of the above.

Ok after using these soaps for awhile I have the winners:

In the cold winter weather when my finger tips get really dry

and split and are sore Yellow Bird is the soap to use. It is very

moisturizing, fragrance free and all natural and keeps my fingertips from drying out.

The Amish soap is the next winner. It is all natural fragrance free etc

and is good for showering and in the summer.

I found out that I can't use The Yellow Bird soap because it is unscented instead of fragrance free. I have a severe

allergy to fragrances. I did not know that there is a difference in unscented and fragrance free soap. The

unscented can still have an underlying fragrance where the fragrance free has none. I had to go with a

goats milk glycerin soap that is fragrance free. It is made in the State I live in.

Yes, it is hard to find a true fragrance free soap I can use. My fingertips dry out in the cold winter

temperatures and the skin splits so I need something very moisturizing as well.
