I researched the ingredients on my shampoo that I picked up in order avoid the Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Since I've used the news shampoo all week my dermatitis is worse. The main ingredient is sodium cocoyl isethionate, a coconut product, and I am reminded that I can't use the salon product Nexus shampoo that has coconut smell (I can't remember the name of this shampoo formula, but the smell gives it away). And I can't use Breck or Herbal Essences. I'll cross reference those and see what their ingredients are. The upshot is, both product main ingredients are from coconut, so I may have simply shifted to a more concentrated version of what I'm allergic to.

Meanwhile, look at all of the products that can be derived from coconut (and other sources, but largely from coconut):

"With many ingredients there is the potential for the above ingredients to be from different sources. This is just a partial listing of ingredients to research further when seen on a package."

Food for thought.
