NICE SMELLS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?

My DD has always had sensitive skin and very rarely eczema, is there any bodywash or shampoo available that will make her smell nice and clean? When she gets hot, she sweats through her head and can be quite whiffy, where as if her hair smelt of nice shampoo, it wouldn't be as bad...

Do you wash her hair every day when it's sweaty ?

I use waitrose own brand, which is very gentle, on my DD. She never smells, but we do wash her hair most days.
She also has a pansy smelling shampoo, which I bouight in the US - again very gentle with natural ingredients.

I think most strong smelling are going to have too many harsh chemicals.

I have sometimes put a few drops of essential oil in a bottle of bland-smelling shampoo. I'm told that it's not a good idea as the oils can be very powerful, but have never had any problems as a result. Citrus oils gave the shampoo a particularly nice fragrance that lingered on the hair.

I use Organic Children shampoo and conditioner on DD1, who is allergic to sodium laryl sulphate. Works a treat and leaves a nice smell, too.

My daughter has had terrible eczema since she was 8 weeks old and her skin reacts to almost every product. However, Oilatum do a shampoo which smells gorgeous and it doesn't seem to cause a reaction with her at all. It's the only thing that stops her smelling like a damp dog!! It should be available in most chemists.
