DD and I Allergic to shampoo

I dont know if this goes here or not, I'm sorry, but I just need some help

Me and my two-year-old are both allergic to the shampoo I wash her hair with. I picked up some Burts Bees Baby shampoo from Sainsbury's and tossed it in the basket not thinking anything. I've used it on DD before and it was fine

But she's been itching non-stop since Friday Night. I checked thoroughly for headlice - She had none, and I've continued to do so since Friday just in case. I know it can't be the laundry stuff I use because my Mum used it with me when I was a child.

I'm going crazy thinking of what I could do. Should I give the shampoo to someone else and try another shampoo?

ARGH. It's been a nightmare in my house, and my little one is miserable

Why is this driving you crazy? Just buy some different shampoo.

Er have you washed her hair since? Just buy some different shampoo??
Simple or baby Johnson’s.

It could be lots of things. Laundry detergents do change. They can have different ingredients.
Avoid MI. In lots of liquids.

I know you say it can't be the laundry stuff but I wouldn't rule it out. Allergies and irritations can develop over time. Ingredients and compositions of products can also change.
Might be a care of trial and error of cutting everything out then slowing reintroducing until you find the culprit. Same with finding a new shampoo. Buy travel sized ones to reduce waste if possible. If you are still struggling ask the Dr if you both can be preferred to dermatology for skin patch testing.
