Just that. Can you recommend a good brand? She's always been a bath girl but now fancies showers.

She doesn't have sensitive skin but I wanted to see if I could find something gentle but not dull.

DD (9) likes my Soap and Glory one. It comes in a pump dispense so it lasts for ages as she doesn't use too much at a time!

My dsd (9) likes this one. There's several 'flavours, she's got the passion fruit one at the moment.
It doesn't dry her skin & it smells nice. And it's cheap!

Thanks for suggestions. Soap and Glory 'd be nice She could nick mine but mine are very bland (as are dh's) and I don't want anything too strong for her skin.

I would suggest just a bar of dove soap and wash sea sponge. Lathers much better and much less chemicals in. Then buy some nice sls free shampoo like Jason's

My dds use the JASON lavendar body wash. It's not funky, but their eczema tolerates it well and it has a really strong lavendar smell that they really like. Could you get her a cool pump dispensers instead and put your body wash of choice.

The other thing we do is make our own soaps. We melt gylcerine and harden it in a mould. We drop small toys into them before they dry - animal toys etc ... Lots of clips on youtube. God we sound dull! It's a big issue for us as dd2 suffers from anxiety and sensory issues, so cleaning is a big issue for us...

Sanex do a paraben free one, and I think the Organic Surge range is paraben free too.
