Clearly Natural unscented glycerine soap bar worked well for my son's sensitive skin. Also, 3 Aveeno oatmeal bath packets instead of those scented bubble baths helped him when he was in elementary school. Twice a week soaks in Aveeno oatmeal powder packets (I'd add organic honey to it also) alleviated dry, itchy skin. Dr. Bronner's Unscented Pure Mild Baby Castile Soap (liquid form) is another good one that's easy to find. Some use the latter for shampoo. Just add a bit of jojoba oil to it for scalp/hair conditioner.
Another mother I knew once recommended adding freshly ground chia or flaxseeds to a child's breakfast cereal to add omega-3 fatty acids, for naturally moisturizing the sensitive skin and scalp. Keeping the humidity level healthy (in Colorado's drier air, by using a cool mist humidifier) can't hurt either. Unscented laundry detergent (All Free or unscented organic baby detergent), and unscented dryer sheets worked well also.
