Perhaps look at Surcare it is made without perfumes or dyes. It is the only washing powder my DGM can use on her extremely sensitive skin.

Out if I terested spa, what products have you found so far please?

I have checked Ecover and that is no good :-( Will check Surcare thank you

for handwash we are using Carex sensitive
for shower gel Sanex junior
for Shampoo we are using Simple

I have found that 'perfume' listed in ingredients can often turnout to be Linalool or Limonene

Hi can you recommend any products shampoo soap or creams that are linalool free desperate for some advice sons hands are really sore and red

Hi any one has allergy to linalool what products do you use

I'm allergic to limonene and linalol and it's a blooming nightmare!

I have been using fairy non bio tablets and ecover zero fabric softener successfully- you are right spababe that perfume is often one of these chemicals, so totally unperfumed is the best approach

Good luck

DP Liquid Soapflakes, great stuff, my ds has awful eczema that flares badly with non bio etc. no fragrance and everything comes out nice and soft. I use two big caps for a full load and needs to be at least 40C

I am allergic to a lot of ingredients, fragrances, citrus, limonene, thiazolinone, nickel, chrome, and more. the only laundry I can use with a fragrance is Aldi Almat non-bio dermatologically tested, the best non allergenic washing machine product with French consumer association. I had 60% of my body with eczema and now just some occasional contact eczema. If this one is not good for you the only one is Simplewashing pure eco smart washing, online delivery free. Do not spend a lot of money buying organic products, too much fragrance and most of them have limonene or do not clean correctly.

it is not Simplewashing pure eco smart washing but
simplywashing pure eco smart washing

For information the following fragrance materials must be listed in QIs by law: benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, benzyl salicylate, citral, citronellal, coumarin, eugenol, geraniol, hydroxycitronellal, limonene and linalool.

Hi Diagnosed 5 years ago , Not an easy one to live with !
Start with this , Detergent, Soap nuts !
To wash with use Castile soap (unscented)
If your in a hard water area don't use a dish washer ! the residue remains on the dishes , don't use washing up liquid , don't use shampoo or conditioner , the smell is the problem ,
And the worst one to deal with is a lot of foods have Linalool in them , especially Cinnamon , The way to check is to type the food name and Linalool together and read the feed back ,
The detergent and soap will make life 70% better the rest will take time !
Good luck

I have used tesco excpert non bio powder and liquid for 3years now (on my last box now) this did not contain limonene or linanool just been told that they are no longer stocking it,I originally found it thru a siteon line,so I will have to spend some time trying to find similar it was fantastic and very cheap washing even at 15 degrees,I would like to tell your mums that Johnson products contain these ingredients,and baby wipes are a no no .good luck Mo

Splosh might be worth a try? Can't see any of your problem ingredients on their lists, but you might want to email to make sure. Their stuff works well and even their bio stuff is fine for my kids who have sensitive skin/mild eczema but no diagnosed skin allergies.

I also used Surcare in the past and it was very good too.

Make your own babez

Hi, I have just discovered an on line site that sells natural products for laundry and all baby products foir sensitive skin,I have just ordered washing liquid that promises 100 washes for £13.75 plus £5 shipping so I have doubled the order,there is free shipping if you spend over a certain amount. I will keep in touch with mumsnet and let them know the results bye Mo

oops the site is Biggreensmile.com

i don't have any to hand to check, but we used ecoballs for our wash for my son's very sensitive skin when he seemed to react to everything else i tried.

Hi
Does anyone know of any dishwasher tablets that are limonene free?

Can't advise on brands but we make our own dishwasher tablets - it's quite easy.
2 parts washing soda
2 parts Borax free equivalent
1 part salt
1 part citric acid
Mix and put into an ice cube tray to harden. Ingredients are available online.

I discovered over 30 years ago that I too am allergic to Lanolin but it has so many names it is hard to keep up. As a precaution I read the ingredients on everything. For this length of time I've used only Bold washing powder. Non Bio powders should not contain it in any way. Sanex shower gel is my steadfast. Pantene shampoo, I have always moisturised with Boots Aftersun but my latest purchase has Limonene in it! Not good! There is a new product called Children's Farm, pure ingredients only, adults are praising it for eczema and psoriasis. It sells out of Boots quickly so no luck so far.

I have very very difficult skin and found www.savvygreen.net/product/laundry/laundry-detergent works for me. Good luck! Here's a safe toothpaste too. www.oranurse.co.uk/unflavoured-toothpaste.html
