My baby has severe eczema despite a strict elimination diet on my part and tested positive for these allergies. Finding products to use on him and us is a nightmare so far. We are laundering with Dreft but they won't disclose their ingredients without a doctor's note. We found Kiss My Face olive bar soap but that's it. Any help with dealing with these allergies would be really helpful. My first son was allergic to tree nuts so we have experience with that but not the others. We haven't tested for palm but are avoiding it preventively; he also was positive for minimal wheat and sesame allergies. Thanks for your help!

Hello, I don't have eczema but I do have a lot of different allergies and I only use soap and shampoo from this company and they will disclose all of the ingredients in their products and are very helpful and polite when you contact them. They even have a sample pack. Also, like the person above, I would strongly recommend getting a subscription to Living Without, I have a subscription to this magazine and they are extremely helpful for people with allergies. Good luck!

I would recommend looking into the "Living Without" magazine that addresses people with allergies. Whole Foods stores know all ingredients in their products and are very helpfull and reliable
good luck

Momma,
I have switched my home over to non-toxic cleaning products because of my sons allergies. And they are made from natural ingredients AND they will disclose what are in the wonderful cleaners and everyday household products! I can share more with you if you are seriously interested. Please email me at alcoserfamily@yahoo
I have a pdf of what is in their soaps, just let me know if you'd be interested! Hope to hear from you!
Amber,
Momma of 2 toddler boys!

Try using Cetaphil or generic knockoffs for his skin.
Even better, use Unicure, available online.
For laundry, look in a health food store for something organic and mild. Or just use plain old fashioned washing soda.
