Do You Have A Soap Recommendation (mild Warning)

[SGWhiskers]

I don't have DH, but I figure you all are the experts at gluten-free soaps/lotions. I've always used a very gentle soap for personal areas. Shower gels or shampoos watered down are too irritating. I've given up the one I like because it has oat. Does anyone have a recommendation of something that is soothing, gluten-free, and under $15? I like liquids, but would switch to a bar if needed. Thanks in advance.

glycerin.

Far and away the best soap I've ever used for my sensitive, eczema-prone skin--

You can also buy it by the bar if you want to give it a try--I just order a stack when I begin using my last bar so I never run out.

I just use Ivory bar soap.

I too have always been very sensitive to soaps. I don't have DH however my mother does. I instead tend to get irritated skin and eczema. I like Trader Joe's Tea Tree Oil bar soap. Its very inexpensive, gentle and gluten free. It seems to work for my mom too.

For sensitivity in that particular area, I would use an unscented, undyed simple glycerine soap. You can usually get these at a health food store or places like target. I would get one with the most simple ingredients possible. It should be almost perfectly clear.

If you cannot find one like this, neutrogena makes some in boxes that are more expensive. They have fragrance though.

Another thing you might try is a soap from korres (milk or calendula-- two bars for about 6-7$) A sephora store will have these or you can order them from Skinstore or online.

Good luck!

I know you said you didn't want to use a liquid, but I use Johnson's baby wash for personal areas. I've become very sensitive this past summer. I was on a lot of anitbiotics and they messed me up. For everything else, I like unscented Dove.

Thank you ladies. I will add glycerin and Johnson's to my gluten-free shopping list. Actually, I like liquids, so both of these will be perfect to try. They should be easy to find too.

I use Softsoap, with mouisturizers. I do not get any burn from them. Dove Cream Oil Wash is nice too.

huh, I thought I had replied, but I guess not.

for 'personal areas', you don't really need soap, water is sufficient. (why do I know this/say this? I have vulvar vestibulitis, and a lot of women with this have sensitivity to almost anything down there, or want to avoid any possible anything that could make it more sensitive. lots of women with VVS go soapless. my doctors were right in line, agreeing with this. a good rinse, and a *good* dry is important, but soap not so much.)

I use baby Johnson's baby wash.

I'm very sensitive although much improved on the gluten-free diet. I use and inexpensive hair conditioner, Smells nice and is non irritating.

I still had my favorite old bottle sitting in the shower, and I checked it today. It does not have Sodium Laurel/th Sulfate in it. I've heard people complain about SLS. I'm guessing it is the culprit. I wonder if the itchies on my scalp are from SLS too. I'll have to do some experimenting on the weekend when my hair can look crazy if my new SLS free body soap makes my hair frizzy.

Thanks gals
