Also, I think the same company makes "Free and Clear" shampoo, which
I also use.

Here's a little tip if you have a hard time finding a rosacea-
friendly conditioner for your hair:

I don't like using conditioners because they leave a residue and are
often fragranced, which can rub off onto my ultra sensitive skin. So,
I tend to just use the Free and Clear Shampoo mixed with a little oil
to help soften my hair. This works pretty well, but it still leaves
my hair static-prone.

Recently I tried mixing a palm full of the free and clear shampoo
with a little of the Vanicream Lite Lotion (I keep one in the shower,
so it was convenient) instead of oil. It works a lot better and I've
been doing this regularly now. It rinses out very well and my hair is
soft and shiny with no static and no worries about anything
irritating getting onto my skin. Yay!

So, for me, this mixture serves as a shampoo & conditioner in one.

After all that raving, I should say that I am not affiliated with
Vanicream at all. Just a happy customer :)

Cheers!
