Are you ok with soap but not detergent, or is it both?
When I was avoiding detergents I started making my own soap using oils and lye. Not as hard as it sounds, or you can buy homemade soaps like this from places like etsy.
You can also buy glycerine soap bars which you can lather up and use on hair. I'm not sure what the supermarket ones have but if you look up 'pure glycerine soap' there are online sellers.
We have an issue in our house with people being allergic to hand wash (that contain things like sls) but not soap, so I have to be very careful what to buy, ie liquified soap that usually comes from a small 'craft' seller.
The term sodium cocoate simply means coconut oil after the process of making it into a soap. If you have issues with sodium laureth sulphate you won't necessarily have issues with sodium cocoate as well.
Good luck with it all, what a pain in the derrière it all is!
