Waxy residue

The fragrance in storebought shampoos and soaps makes my eczema worse. I couldn't find any shampoos without fragrance, so I tried using Dr Bronner's Castile soap as shampoo. What a nightmare. My hair was so coated in waxy gunk that it took about 36 hours to sort of dry, though still covered in gunk ...that hadn't rinsed out. All the oils got trapped in my scalp, and my hair got really disgusting after about four days (normally I wash my hair once a week). So I washed my hair with free and clear dish soap, and a gallon container of white vinegar that I took into the shower. Then my hair was clean. I also tried to use Dr Bronmer's as hand soap, but the pump kept clogging up. I then went to the kitchen to make a diluted batch of Dr Bronner's Castile soap, and after it cooled, I poured it into the hand soap pump bottle. Some of the diluted soap went down my garbage disposal, and I was wondering why it left a white residue on the black rubber flaps over the garbage disposal. I suppose it is the glycerine. That diluted soap left a waxy gunk on my hands every time that I washed, so that I began to avoid washing my hands. Finally, I dumped that diluted soap down the drain, and filled my handsoap container with free and clear dishsoap. And today, I used Dr Bronner's liquid Castile sugar soap to wash my underarms, and found myself having to apply hydrocortisone cream because of the irritation. I think it's the glycerine. The cheap lavender non-glycerine bar soap that most stores carry does not irritate my skin. I give Dr Bronner's three stars, for trying to make a difference with beautiful natural products. But I just cannot use glycerin products for any kind of cleaning. I don't understand why my experience is so different from all the other people who wrote reviews here.
