Hey there everyone,
I hope that someone has the perfect product for me. My daughter is sensitive to many soaps and shower gels. She gets "itchy" from almost everything. She also has intermittent spells of hives requiring steroids. Now, being a nurse, I am familiar with the medical conditions that she does not have. What I am looking for is a product that she can use that is all natural but doesn't stink. She is 10 and very much involved in her hygeine. She wants to wear and smell like the others girls. She cannot wear anything with glitter either, which she has dealt with well. It is to the point that I have to was clothes with the Free detergent and softner.
So, after all that, does anyone have a product that you can suggest. I have looked at quite a few of the bath/spa products and am afraid about the scents.
If you have the magic, please PM me,
Thanks,
Julie

Lady Emily (http://www.ladyemily.com) was founded because of a sensitive little girl (Emily). All the products there are very mild. There is no party plan anymore and I only use it personally.

Hi Julie!
I don't know what you mean by "stinks," but MB's Bella Bar is wonderful.
They are scented, but very light scents. I love them!
Also, I use all of ISA's facial products and really enjoy them. There are two facial cleansers. It's the "Phat" link below!
Feel free to PM me.
Btw, don't get too cold there. We're still here in sunny Arizona, headed back to Sedona!
xoxo

Thanks for all of the replies. I am looking into each and every one of them..
Hey Lori, I didn't know that MB had a Bella Bar.. Enjoy Arizona! It's 4 degrees here today and we had a blizzard last night!
Edited because I forget to clarify "stinks". Madalynn is picky with the scent. We have tried many unscented products to prevent the "itchys" and she always says that they STINK!! She's cute but I know that it frustrates her.
Thanks again,
JulieEdited by: julsie5

I am pm'ing you on our Spa Luna line. The green tea line will be perfect for your daughter. My daughter who is 11 has taken over all of my products, and also had a problem with dry and itchy skin. That is no longer the case.

I will second the Shaklee products and I also use the green tea toner from Spa Luna (and yes, Tracey I do love it smileys/smiley1.gif ). Neither products are drying to my skin -- which incidentally used to be dry (and itchy) all of the time.

Hi Julie,
I have only used Melaleuca's products on my daughter since she was born. They have body wash, shampoo, etc. I will only let her use Mela's toothpaste after I learned what was in other brands.
If you want more info, just let me know.
Best wishes!

Hi Julie,
I just sent you a pm regarding Handmade Natural Beauty. As a customer turned consultant, I'd love to offer them to your daughter. I, too, have similar skin problems like she does, and this is the first product I have found to give me much needed relief. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

I would like to offer a free sample of L'Bri pure n Natural bath and shower gel. I too have sensitive skin and suffer from the "itchies" as does my 8 year old daughter (she also has eczema). I found L'Bri and just love it. All L'Bri products are pure and natural ,as many products made nowadays. The difference is that instead of the first ingredient being water, L'Bri's base ingredient is pure aloe which is an anti-inflammatory as well as soothing and healing.
It works for us it may work for you as well. PM me if you would like a sample.
Good luck in your search.
Vicki
