My child has sensitive skin and these are the products that work

This dermatologist & paediatrician approved baby wash is a joy to use - it's lightly scented with jasmine and lavender which is perfect for a bedtime routine and is moisturising and delicate enough for children with eczema or sensitive skin. It's alcohol-free and made with 98% naturally derived ingredients so you can be confident it's free from any nasties that might irritate sensitive skin.

While I've been using it with my older child, it's perfect for newborns and we've also loved the Cheek-to-Cheek Gentle Baby Balm which quickly works to soothe her skin when it's feeling itchy and sore. The pump makes it easy to use one-handed - perfect when bathing little ones who need to be held - and it's a large 500ml bottle so I know I won't need to stock up again too soon.

As a fan of anything that minimises plastic, the soap bars from Eco Warrior were already onto a winner, so I was pleased to discover that they also work. They're dermatologist and paediatrician approved so they're gentle enough for my daughter's sensitive skin but they're also vegan friendly, cruelty-free and made with naturally derived ingredients. Good all-round!

As a 2-in-1 body wash and shampoo, the Eco Warrior Bedtime Hair and Body bar is a time and space saver - no need for separate bars or bottles. Just add a little water, lather up and you can wash from head to toe. It's also small enough for my daughter to use herself, unlike larger bars of soap or bottles which can be tricker for little hands to hold.

The cocoa butter, coconut oil and rice milk help nourish skin, and there's no drying alcohol either. While they claim to have a lavender blossom fragrance, I thought they smelt more of creamy rice which my daughter found soothing. It isn't my favourite scent of all those I tested, but given the huge pluses, it's certainly one I'd buy again.

This body wash from Sister&Co is one for all the family and for the whole body. It's an organic shampoo and body wash in one so you can cut down on bottles in the shower with one for the whole family. This is another sensitive skin product that's free from nasty ingredients including parabens, artificial fragrance, artificial dyes, mineral oil, phthalates, polyethylene glycol, silicones, siloxanes and animal ingredients. Instead, it uses organic argan oil and organic oat kernel extract to soothe and soften while antibacterial tea tree, eucalyptus and peppermint protect and add freshness.

It's only suitable from 3 years so can't be used on babies or toddlers but my daughter loved the uplifting smell of tea tree, eucalyptus and peppermint which is ideal for a reviving morning shower.

This soothing Childs Farm OatDerma™ Baby Moisturiser is specially formulated for dry, itchy skin, and is also safe for people who may be prone to eczema. It's been approved by dermatologists and paediatrician to be safe for sensitive and eczema prone skin and is made with a blend of colloidal oatmeal and oat oil to hydrate the skin and protect the skin barrier.

It's fragrance-free but we found it was exceptionally soothing and calmed my daughter's skin quickly after any itchy flare ups. The nourishing oats hydrate the skin, and it rubs in easily and smoothly. My daughter complains when we use some moisturisers but this was so silky and went on so well that there were no complaints from her.

This classic moisturising lotion is likely to be a staple in the bathroom of anyone with sensitive skin, thanks to its soothing triple oat complex and shea butter which both soothe and protect the skin barrier. It's hypoallergenic so shouldn't trigger any skin allergies and is vegan-friendly.

This is ideal for soothing particularly dry skin and feels intensely hydrating which we've found keeps my daughter's skin smooth and itch-free for longer.

This baby massage lotion is dermatologist & paediatrician approved and is suitable for newborn's delicate skin and those prone to eczema and sensitive skin. It's gently fragranced and I could only describe the scent as the perfect 'baby smell'.

While we didn't use it as a massage lotion, I can see it working well in this way as it rubs in easily and is wonderfully moisturising and creamy. It soothes and calms my daughter's skin when it's itchy and she's had no sensitive skin reactions after using it. The gentle scent combined with the massage qualities would make this a perfect part of a baby or child's bedtime routine.

This luxurious bath milk is calming and soothing to both body and mind. It's from Little Butterfly and is part of their indulgent baby range which also includes the wonderful Wrapped in Love calming anti pollution baby face cream which has worked wonders on my daughter's dry skin.

Poured under warm water, it transforms the bath into a creamy, spa-like experience (you're never too young for a spot of pampering!) with a wonderfully relaxing scent. My daughter's skin felt moisturised and soft without needing an extra moisturiser which is thanks to the vitamin-rich avocado oil, cucumber seed and peach kernel oils, anti-inflammatory papaya seed oil and oat kernel extract. It's certified organic so you can be confident there are no nasty ingredients on your baby's delicate skin and is dermatologist approved and made in England.

While it can be hard to find bath bombs for kids with sensitive skin, there are plenty of bubble baths out there that are specially formulated to protect and soothe little ones' skin while they're playing in the bath. This Bubbles & Sleep bubble bath from Bloom & Blossom is a calming combination of jasmine and lavender which manages to create long-lasting bubbles and cleanse while also being suitable for kids with sensitive skin.

It shares the same, soothing 'new baby' smell of the moisturising lotion from the same range which makes it ideal as part of a bedtime routine. As with the rest of the range, it's suitable for newborns and those with sensitive skin or eczema and is made from 98% naturally derived ingredients.

I was impressed with the amount of bubbles this bubble bath made, especially in comparison to other 'natural' formulations I've used which tend to lack a bit of bubble-making power. Combined with the gorgeous smell and the gentle formulation, this has quickly become a favourite for all the family.

This bubble bath packs in all the goodness of colloidal oatmeal and oat oil to soothe and nourish while your little one is playing in the bath. It's a dermatologist approved bubble bath that's designed to soothe dry, itchy skin, and is safe for people prone to eczema.

As with Bloom & Blossom, it makes an impressive amount of bubbles but differs in the complete lack of scent. If your child is particularly sensitive to fragranced products, this could be ideal for them. We found it was moisturising, particularly when followed up with the Childs Farm OatDerma™ Baby Moisturiser to lock in moisture.

Sometimes your little one's skin needs a spot of extra TLC, and that's where this organic Dream Cream from Sister&Co comes in. It's a deeply moisturising, soothing combination of organic oat oil, shea butter, English beeswax, lavender and chamomile that can be used on patches of dry skin, or as a nappy barrier cream to prevent against nappy rash. It's suitable for use from birth and is free from parabens, artificial fragrance, artificial dyes, mineral oil, phenoxyethanol, phthalates, polyethylene glycol (PEGs), SLS, SLES, silicones and siloxanes.

We've been using it as and when my daughter has reactions and her skin needs some intense moisturising to help with itching. It rubs in easily and doesn't leave skin feeling too oily at all - I confess to using it on my hands as an intensive moisturiser and it's fantastic for cuticles and nails!

Another product to have on hand when sensitive skin needs a little extra care, this Cheek to Cheek baby balm is formulated for baby's delicate skin so it's ideal for kids with sensitive skin. It's 100% naturally derived and is rich in shea butter and protective Vitamin E to protect, nourish and hydrate dry and sensitive skin. The calming lavender essential oil is a multitasker - promoting a sense of calm while also aiding in skin healing for particularly dry patches.

It's ideal as a soothing balm for areas of skin that are most prone to sensitivity, and I've been using it on my daughter's skin where she's had a reaction or has particularly dry skin patches. It's soothed and healed those areas quickly and I love that it's small enough to take away in my bag to pop on whenever she needs it.

Not technically a balm, but this cocooning, smells-good-enough-to-eat oil from Nala's Baby is as nourishing and soothing as a balm. It's rich and hydrating, thanks to the blend of apricot, coconut, castor and lavender oils, and smells wonderfully warming.

Nala's Baby was created by UK rapper and broadcaster Casyo 'Krept' Johnson and influencer Sasha Ellese Gilbert when Sasha was pregnant and concerned about the potential harm skincare could cause her and her baby. There's nothing to worry about here - Nala's Baby Nighttime oil scores 100/100 on Yuka, so you can be confident it doesn't contain anything that might be harmful to your little one.

I love that it's 99% natural, and my daughter hasn't reacted to it at all. In fact, it's nourished and softened her dry skin so well that she's stopped scratching completely. A little goes a long way so it's great value and definitely one I'll have on repeat purchase (for me and her!)
