Hi, I've recently been for a patch test which showed up that I'm allergic to Rosin and irritated by parfum products. Ive had to get rid of all my makeup, shampoo, shower gel, moisturiser and cleansers. I've searched the Internet for possible solutions but unfortunatley am no better off.  Can someone please help me and possibly give me an idea of what products i can use it would be much appreciated!

    Hi Grace,

    You can use Google to find such products by using a boolean expression, by this I mean enter the following without the quotes "Rosin+free+products" this will bring up a search on  those keywords only, you can use a minus sign and a word to omit certain products, but it is an easy way of doing it. You could add +uk at the end to only UK results are shown.

    Hope that helps!

    Regards,

    Les.

    Hi Grace

    I've also had to find products that don't contain perfume. Waitrose has a new range of shampoo, etc, called 'Pure' that doesn't contain perfume. Also, Clinique's make-up is fragrance free.

    I hope this helps, and good luck!

    Best wishes
