Ultra sensitive skin, shampoo needed

Hi

My 7 week old has incredibly sensitive skin & also it’s quite dry. I’ve tried three bath washes recommended for ultra sensitive skin & all have brought her out in a rash across her body & face and drying her skin across her shoulders and ankles (bizarrely). (Neals yard, la Roche posay Lipikar syndet and kokoso)

She also has cradle cap quite badly - working away at this with Kokoso coconut oil (which has also soothed her baby acne and baby wash induced rash) and their happy scalp cream.

I need something to help wash coconut oil from her hair as we are oil soaking the cradle cap and using a little brush to help remove it which is working really well and soothing her scalp a lot. But water won’t get the oil out once done.

Any ideas please? Thanks :) I’ll just go back to water hopefully once the cradle cap is sorted but feel terrible that she keeps getting rashes in the meantime! :(

Hi OP my DC is much older but has eczema and v sensitive to most things but we swear by Green People. They do a baby range I think. Not cheap but the only one I've ever found that she has no reaction to.

@TigathaChristie thank you! I used that with my first actually, can’t remember why I changed from it actually… will have a try 🤞
