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

[Kailani]

As the title says...

What is good for sensitive skin but also cleans really well? Prefereably a liquid but a powder is okay too.

DS and DP have terrible eczema and although changing the washing detergent may not be the answer, it can't hurt!

TIA xox

have you tried bi carb soda??

[Kazmar]

I ONLY use the 'eco store' brand Its all plant based so doesn't affect the skin You can buy it at safeway/woolworths

I too have excema. I use Hurricane - the yellow one. When I tried the apple one, it made me itchy (or it was just good timing and I was doing something else wrong!).
I think bi-carb would be worth a try too, there couldn't be much in there that would cause excema to flare up.

Mine is very bad atm - I'm blaming the dust and dry weather.

We use OMO Sensitive. We also do a extra rinse cycle to get out as much powder as possible. These two things together seem to help ds's skin. He used to have really bad eczema but it has improved as he got older but he still gets it on his back. OMO Sensitive isn't cheap but I have found cheap washing powders terrible on his skin.

I can only use Radiant or Omo & Omo Sensitive but half the amount it says on the packet. Any other washing powder makes me itch. I also do an extra rinse just to make sure all the powder is gone.

Oh yeah, use waaaay less than it says on the pack!

My DS2 comes out in a rash with heavily perfumed washing powder so I switched over to Purity Sensitive laundry liquid and we haven't had a problem since

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

FAK but if no one has suggested it try Purity

[Kailani]

Satya, no I've never even heard of Desitin but will give it a try thanks!

Macca79, yeah I am using part Purity part bi-carb and using vinegar to neutralise and soften.

Hope it helps their skin!! Have noticed in the last few days ezcema is getting bad on poor DS's eyelids. He also gets it behind his ears, behind his knees in the creases and on his thumb knuckles as well as a patch on his face My poor baby!

Thanks guys xox
