Hello all,

I'm at my wits end over here....I can't seem to find a body was or soap that both moisturizes and doesn't cause me to break out (in acne-type blemishes that I now realize are a dryness/sensitivity reaction). I react to fragrances (itching and sometimes stinging)--even natural ones, so that's a problem too. I've thought that maybe harsh cleansers are a problem and so have tried to stay away from Sodium Laureth/Laurtyl Sulfates, but everything that moistuizes my skin (i.e. *doesn't* leave it dry and itchy) causes massive breakouts. (I have the same problem with my scalp, as some of you know....can seem to find a shampoo/conditioner that work either, but that's a whole other story.

Here's some things I've tried lately---I'm listing the ingredients in case someone can tell just *what* is it that I'm reacting to....

Dove Sensitive Skin Unscented Beauty Bar:

Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate, Stearic Acid, Sodium Tallowate or Sodium Palmitate, Lauric Acid, Sodium Isethionate, Water, Sodium Stearate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Cocoate or Sodium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Chloride, Tetrasodium EDTA,Tetrasodium Etidronate, Maltol, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).

ShiKai Moisturizing Shower Gel for Dry Skin (Cucumber& Melon)--the fragrance in this one annoys me, but I'm not sure what's making me react with blemishes:

Purified Water, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, TEA Lauryl Sulfate, Cocoamide DEA, Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Sodium Myreth Sulfate, Colloidal Oatmeal (avena sativa), Guar Powder, Salt (sodium chloride), Cucumber Extract (cucumis sativus), Methylparaben, Citric Acid, Natural Fragrance, Diazolidinyl Urea

I also had to stop using this eucalpytus body wash I got as a gift (SLS-free, supposedly "natural") because it caused such terrible breakouts. I don't have the product info here, I'll have to look it up.

Any help from those ingredient experts would be appreciated.
