I have dry, sensitive skin... Through many years of experimentation, here's what works best for me.

laundry detergent: Arm & Hammer Unscented

deodorant: Arm & Hammer Ultramax Unscented

lotion: Aveeno. www.aveeno.com

shampoo: good luck on finding it, but I am a big fan of Klorane Gentle Shampoo with Oat Milk and Klorane Softening & Detangling Balm (conditioner) with Oat Milk.

soap: Kirk's Castille All-Natural soap (will dry out your skin, so be prepared with lotion). If you are allergic to plant oils, you may have problems with this one, but if your problems are based on animal fats, you are in luck. If Kirk's doesn't work for you, go for the basic white Ivory soap. http://www.kirksnatural.com/

When I want something scented, I use all-natural products that are based on essential oils. I have had good luck with lavender and rose essential oils.

I find shopping for perfumes difficult, but have had some luck with COCO by Chanel. http://uma.chanel.com/branding.php?c...f&branding=coc
