Bath stuff for sensitive skin

[Pinkcatgirl]

My DD is 20 months and gets dry skin. We've previously tried a soap substitute from GP but all she wants at bath time is bubbles! A friend recommended the Childs Farm stuff, it's pricy so just wondered if anyone had used it? Reviews on Ocado look pretty good though - apparently it makes good bubbles!

Anyone had an experience of that or another good (bubbly) bubble bath?

My dc used to like Green People products. They were gentle.

Burts bees is nice but tbh anything bubbly will dry their skin, so perhaps save it for once a week and use Aveeno or similar the rest of the time. With copious cream after...

Also avoid anything fragranced as fragrance can irritate sensitive skin, as can some essential oils such as orange or lemon or even lavender so make sure you read the ingredient list before buying. I use Junior Oilatum in the bath for DS and a gentle body wash by Little Me (available at Boots) in his folds to make sure they're properly cleaned. I also bought some Aveeno baby eczema lotion (you can only get it on eBay) which is good stuff.

Great, thanks

I always used this for DD when she was a baby in Lavender but he seems to have changed his range to other scents.

We use Epaderm which is a moisturiser but you can also put it in the bath. It's not scented or anything but it works well!

Balneum is great but sadly no bubbles . E45 bath foam is good too and you get bubbles with it! Dd has a bit of eczema so she gets plastered with diprobase cream after every bath !

The Weleda calendula stuff is lovely and sold in boots . I use kiehls any too when I'm feeling rich !

Second E45 bath foam, we've used that here with no ill effects, also the Sanex range (not the kids' one, I read the ingredients and decided not worth the money, whereas E45 is) but the adult one I buy for me, the hypoallergenic shower gel, gives great bubbles and no ill effects. Not every bath though.
