Help! Allergic to most shampoos!

Hello Mumsnet give, my first post here and I'm hoping you can help.
I am allergic to most shampoos on the market - most cause skin irritation after the wash ( currently sitting here, scratching my itchy arms after having just jumped out of the shower), some actively inflame my scalp and hands. I already go for the hypoallergenic, no sulphates, mostly unscented products but they seem to all cause this reaction if not at the first few applications, then by the end of the bottle. Currently using bioré no-detergent shampoo which was fine to start with but alas no more. I'm actively dreading showers now bc it happens so often.
Have you got some miracle products you can recommend?

I do curly girl as well, haven't used shampoo since February and my hair looks and feels freshly washed with just conditioner.

I'm actually using the moogoo one just now, I like it a lot.

I am allergic to most of the shampoos and conditioners in market .I tried the free and clear shampoo and the cleure conditioner that too slightly irritates my face where the bangs and layers come in contact . I don't understand what in that minimum ingredient shampoo and conditioner irritate my skin with redness and itchiness. I am getting contact rashes with aloe vera , proteins(egg whites/chick pea flour/green gram flour ) , Hibiscus leaves and most of the natural lines are irritating me too. My hair becomes oily the next day of wash .Fed up testing out things and I am really stressed out. Currently I am using soap nut to wash my hair , which makes my hair so dry.it doesn't take out he oil and if I use that too much it irritates me as well . Can anyone suggest me something to wash my hair.
