Plain unscented soap can be wonderful. With sensitive skin, I would suggest a recipe with a high percentage of olive oil. Some people can have trouble with a high percentage of coconut and palm oil so keep those low. Try a ratio of Olive 60%; Coconut 20%; Palm 20%. With this recipe you will get a firm bar that still has a good lather and is gentle on your skin. Be careful with the essential oils….they too, can be sensitizing to some individuals. Do your research first. Depending on your skin condition, some can be very helpful. You can also make a castile soap that is 100% olive oil. Some people don’t like the thin lather but it is extremely gentle on the skin.

Yes it should be just fine. If you want to have it smell nice, withough irritating your sensitive skin, I would suggest using essential oils. These are different from the synthetic, irritating fragrance, as they are all natural and usually have a healing property. Try your local health store for them, and then you can still get a good smell, but it won't irritate your skin.

Yes it is okay to have unscented soap. It will have a bit of a smell even without fragrance in it.

Of course it's okay. Fragrance is not important to everyone. It's not a necessity in the soap.
