Lanolin free products

Wondering if there is anyone in the same boat?

I am allergic to lanolin and wool alcohols, which wipes out a lot of cosmetic products. I would be very interested to receive recommendations of shampoo, conditioner, day and night moisturiser, foundation, and under eye cream; for fine hair, and sensitive skin that gets hormonally greasy in the T zone.

I have tried various vegan products, especially shampoo, but have found many of them have very strong artificial smells, which don’t agree with me. I also seem to react to anything metallic, such as eyeshadow.

I have had some success with Charlotte Tilbury.

Any recommendations very welcome

Meant to say, I am in the UK.

I think cerave is either entirely lanolin free or has at least a few products without it. La Roche Posay and similar French pharmacy brands like Avenue, Bioderma, etc. tend to be lanolin free in their sensitive lines, named Toleriane, Tolerance, Sensibio, etc. all tend to be fragrance free.

For makeup, RMS beauty is very focused on allergies and natural/vegan, I think lanolin free and they also avoid some metals like nickel that can be irritating. Does usually contain coconut oil so things go off quickly. I use Westman Atelier as well, £££ though, but tends to have very minimal ingredient lists too with a focus of keeping out irritants, fairly sure no lanolin in most if not all products.

For shampoo, without scent and for problem prone scalps usually Eucerin Dermocapillaire is recommended, ph5 for most hair, and the urea version for dry flaky scalps. No matching conditioner AFAIK though.

I'm allergic to Lanolin too. I find Aveeno really good for moisturiser cream for face and body.
