Not quite sure if this is best place to post...
my 3 week old Ds has possible washing detergent allergy. Can anyone recommend a really good one for sensitive skin?

We have sainsburys own non bio and ecover concentrated non bio at moment

Thanks in advance!

A friend whose DS had eczema swore by Surcare washing powder.

I use surcare but get the powder not the liquitabs because they make your machine stinky.

Try an eco ball. It is a plastic ball with mineral beads in it. We don't use detergent at all anymore.

Boots do a really good hypoallergenic one in a grey box

My daughter has eczema and it improved dramatically once we started using surcare. I often use an ecoegg too with white vinegar sprayed on stains.

Biological detergent isn't actually the cause of a reaction - it's the perfumes, dyes & harsh soaps used. Try using the bog standard detergents like Persil or Ariel but use the extra rinse button on the washer to get more residue out. Avoid stuff like Bold or Surf that's heavily perfumed & ditch fabric softener completely. That stuff is dreadful for causing skin irritation.

Or you could try this. It's biological but completely unscented so good for sensitive skin.
