Suggest A Dyes And Perfume Free Shampoo

My son is 2 and a half years old and is allergic to perfumes and dyes; this has made me have to purchase free and clear detergents and cetaphil skin cleanser for his baths. My question is this: are there any shampoos that are free and clear of dyes and perfumes that I can use for him?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for asking on HealthCareMagic. Let me mention that allergies are body's way to deal with an otherwise non harmful stimulus that the body assumes to be harmful. It generally occurs in response to certain things but not others. Rather than limit exposure to all the items in such a group, you should try and identify the specific triggers and just avoid them. You could try baby shampoos which are light in detergents and see if they suit your baby. If they do, you need not bother whether they contain dyes or perfumes.

I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
