unperfumed soap etc.

Lash out and pay for a suitcase in the hold - this can carry as much unperfumed 'stuff' as you want.

Alma, you have to look at the labels and those that state "senza profumo" should be fine.In Italy the sell "Dove Cream Bar Extra Sensitive" which does not contain perfume and it is available in large supermarkets. It is reasonable priced. Also, for general washing do the same or try "Vea Bucato Sapone Naturale Senza Profumo".If you find any particular product worth recommending, please let everyone know. There are many people with sensitive skins who can't use the average commercial products. It would also be interesting to mothers with young children and babies.

Hi - I can't put anything on my face other than water  but I managed to buy some home made cinnamon soap from a local festa which apparently has anti bacteriological properties and so far so good  - hope this helps!

Alma, I was about to suggest that you also look into the local fairs to find homemade products without additives. Cinnamon soap is excellent. You can also start making your own soap and home cleaning products, which will be safer than commercial varieties. Here is some excellent information: www.soapnaturally.org/soap_recipes/index.htmlAnd I have not driven through the panoramic road above the Cinque Terre, We generally catch the train from La Spezia. It is on my list of things to do, though...

My husband has eczema and we've found it a bit of a nightmare getting unperfumed things here but here are a few products we have foundBody wash for bath or shower- there is a company called Avalon that do bath or shower oils based on oat proteins that are fragrance free and moisturizing- it's not cheap though the bath stuff is about €10 for 250mlBody lotion- Colomer Natural Honey Lozione Idratante Lentiva per Pelli Sensibili is great and cheap- less than €3 for 400ml. However I've had a bit of trouble locating it during the last couple of months so have just emailed the company to check it is still available in ItalySuntan lotion- Clinians do some unperfumed aftersun and their products for sensitive skin don't usually have fragrance in themAs far as washing powder and fabric conditioner goes we still have to get people to bring Surcare over from the UK for us (we are both allergic to fragranced washing products) or for lower temperature washes we use washing balls which are quite effective

After being recommended by everyone as the best and purist soap, I have taken to using Sapone di Marsiglia for everything. For personal use and laundry I love it as it has a smell of 'days gone by'. Although Italian woman say how pure and wonderful it is for the skin I'm not sure if that authentic smell is natural or not so you would have to check first.

I prefer to use natural soaps. It is fragrance-free and smells like natural soap.

The problem of irritation and allergies can also be caused by poor-quality water. Don't have a filter at home? The development of an allergic reaction to household chemicals can also be provoked by frequent skin contact with irritating factors: woolen fabrics, low-quality cosmetics, powders, products intended for cleaning the bathroom and toilet, frequent infectious diseases, bad habits, as well as the deterioration of the environmental situation in the world. Particular attention should be paid to water - you can check here what consequences can await you if you turn a blind eye to this problem.
