Can anyone recommend some fancy-schmancy parfum-free toiletries?

I'm on the hunt for some parfum-free smellies to buy for my Mum for Christmas.

She quite likes Simple, but I wondered if there were any other brands out there that I could spoil her with.

I've found Origins but the online chat thingy person couldn't tell me if they were 100% parfum free so I'll have to call their helpline in the morning

Are there any others?

She doesn't really wear make up, so sort of shower gel, hand creams, that sort of thing.

Thank you!

Trilogy products are gorgeous. Their shower gel, body lotion and hand creams are all really good and smell great.

Can you get Antipodes products? Their handcream in the purple metallic tube smells like blackcurrants and is lush.

Thanks!

Do you use Trilogy stuff? Only parfum is listed on the ingredient list online - www.johnlewis.com/trilogy-botanical-body-wash-500ml/p235170

Unfortunately, I don't live anywhere near a stockist so would have to order online so can't physically read the labels myself

100% perfume free:

Clinique

Some Burts Bees products including a hand cream, foot cream and body lotion that I have chosen ( for this very reason!)

Neutrogena do nice hand creams that are perfume free but not as fancy.

Oh, Clinique, I didn't realise they did perfume free.

She's really, really allergic to it

Is there anything in particular, or most of it?

Thanks!

Perricone md I think.

Avene is really good for sensitive/intolerant skin. They sell it in boots and send a couple of free samples when you sign up

NewBeginningsSnoopy · 04/12/2013 12:03

Clinique use 0% perfume in all their products.

The Burts bees set you linked to I think contains perfume yes.

NewBeginningsSnoopy · 04/12/2013 12:05

A REALLY nice present I would recommend would be to book her in for a Clinique consultation. i found the girl really good despite me being a bit make up phobic and she can bring along a gift voucher from you to choose the moisturiser that ends up suiting her best :-)

Kiehl's stuff is gorgeous.

midnightmoomoo · 04/12/2013 16:03

Have a look at the Green People website. They are an organic range and they do make up too....they do a range of scent-free products which is great, and their customer service is excellent, you can ring them with any questions, or email, and they are really helpful. Free postage at the mo too!
Avene is also a fab suggestion!

MissPlumBroughtALadder · 04/12/2013 16:13

Have a look at beingcontent.com
Absolutely stunning products and I'm sure they'll have something parfum free.

Ren?

Freddiefrog · 04/12/2013 20:21

Thanks you all Thanks

I'm hunting down all your suggestions, it's become a mission to track down all the lovely, luxurious perfume-free smellies I can get my hands on and make a hamper for her.

Thanks again!

I like The Green People stuff.

There is an unscented range - which will suit her. but also their stuff has no other nasties in - parabens, SLS etc. which can also irritate skin.

They have good offers on this December. I have been spending..

Well My Burts bees ones are Peppermint foot lotion, a body lotion for 'very dry' skin and a hand cream. All GORGEOUS and 100% perfume free :-)

AlfAlf · 06/12/2013 18:03

I am completely addicted to Ren. They do the most lovely, gentle cleansers, body washes, scrubs, and lotions. Some of their stuff has essential oils in though I think, is that parfum?
