My daughter was recently diagnosed with several different chemical allergies. (skin allergies) Two of these chemicals are found in pretty much every shampoo, soap, sunscreen, lotion, moisturizer, and cosmetic. As well as many other everyday items, such as paper, postage stamp glue, and many other types of adhesives. (and that's only the tip of the iceberg)
Even the baby wash she was using contains these chemicals.
I need some suggestions for all natural soaps. Oh alsmost forgot, she's allergic to anything antibacterial.
The dermatologist gave us a sample of Vanicream, but I'm not even sure where to buy it.
Please help

She tested positive for four chemicals: colophony, quaternium-15, black rubber mix, and ethyldiamine hydrochlorice (EDD).

try: waltonfeed.com/old/soap/soap this is a website with old soap recipes. Play around a little and find out what you can come up with. You don't say what the chemicals are that your daughter is allergic to. I am imagining she is allergic to glycerin if she had problems with the baby wash.
Old soaps were made with lye which is highly caustic and fats. You can sub oils for the fats. Maybe olive oil and something like oatmeal and lemon juice. It sounds like fun anyway. Thanks for getting me to look it up. I think I'll try it myself.

Try products like simple soap, to see if they contain these chemicals, you could also try going to shops that sell only natural products, they would be able to help and advise about their products, maybe even body shop may have some thing all natural.
