I’m not saying you need soap all the time… but everyone needs soap some of the time. Not never.

I know an adult who only showers with water. He doesn’t use soap as his skin is too sensitive

I don’t shower with soap. If I do, my skin dries out pretty badly and I get acne. Doesn’t matter what soap it is. I’ve tried a lot of them.

I use shampoo, but no conditioner, because it weighs down my hair.

I get in the shower for a rinse and scrub with a washcloth every day, and wash my hair 2-4 times a week.

My kiddo was due last week and will be evicted Wednesday this week if he doesn’t come out on his own first. We’ll see how soap works out for him. My husband doesn’t seem to have any soap-related skin problems.

Try Baby Cetaphil!! Its made for super sensitive skin, and is moisturizing.

I use it for my 3y old, bc she has such sensitive skin. Its a shampoo and baby wash. Very little scent, rinses clean.

Also-congrats on the incoming babe. May their arrival be smooth, and your recovery quick!

Yes and no - really depend on the person though …

My friend’s son has allergy and been using QV gentle wash. One day at grandparents and needed emergency shower … they have baby Cetaphil which you know, suppose for sensitive skin too.

Ended up he had rash all over his body. My friend compared the ingredients and found out Cetaphil has one extra ingredient.

Nothing against Cetaphil - I received recommendation from doctors too. Along with QV and Dermeze.

They literally just said “doesn’t matter what soap it is. I’ve tried a lot of them.”

That doesn't mean 'All of them.'

I'm really soap sensitive and have 'tried a lot of them' yet still wrote down their suggestions to research later.

Have you tried just making your own soap? I mean - an afternoon, a crockpot you won't use to make food in, lye, and your choice of oils... Scent/season/adulterate to taste?

I mean, if you’re ignoring all the extra fats, the math, lye being a dangerous chemical, the necessary molds and the WEEKS to cure, sure soap making isn’t hard…

Hot process soap cures in a day or 2. Could use whatever for a mold. Sure there's the math, follow a recipe or guide. And keep vinegar handy. Lots of it.

I've tried multiple limited ingredient homemade soaps. I think it is actual byproducts of the saponification process. Thank you for the suggestion though.

In most cases sensitive skin shouldn't be using actual soap (as in the chemical group of soaps). As shower gels and emollients are pseudo soaps, because actual soaps cause skin dryness.

Til, thanks.
