Can someone PLEASE recommend me a washing detergent for sensitive skin?!

I use the sensitive skin eco one for clothes, but just use bi carb on nappies. DS is very very sinsitive with his nappies.

I use Aware (supermarket) or Eco Store.

They are both great - especially because you only use 2 tablespoons in the wash. The Eco Store one is basically just mineral salts so nothing nasty. You can get it online if you cant find it at your supermarket.

I used to get terrible excema and still do if I am really stressed but I use Radiant sensitive powder and only about 1/2 what it recommends. I also do a second rinse cycle or upsize the load between wash and rinse when I am about (so that there is more water used in the rinse cycle)

DD has bad eczema and I use ecostore too. I use only half a scoop on DD"s clothing.

Thanks guys! So I'll start using less detergent and add an extra rinse cycle...gee the simple things I never seem to think of!

AJP, how do I use bi-carb? I've been using vinegar as fabric softener and odour neutraliser but that's as "natural" as I am lol.

Thanks for the suggestions - I've been using the yellow hurricane liquid forever (hehe Jleigh!) but I'll try some others to see if there's any improvement in the boys' skin. So I'm starting with Purity liquid for sensitive skin (coz it was on special and very inexpensive) and if I see no improvement will try another and so on.

DS gets terrible nappy rash so I would really like something mild to wash his nappies with. Would love to see how the bi carb affects it.

I use bi carb the same way as washing powder, but not as much. 1/4 - 1/2 what I would use powder.
