Best & Safest Laundry Detergents For Your Baby

As moms, we want to keep it that way for as long as possible. But too often we see our babies struggling with itchy little patches of eczema, dry skin, and redness.

Mainstream baby detergents often contain harsh chemicals, but trying to determine which ones to avoid can be overwhelming.

How do we keep that precious baby skin clean and safe while also effectively cleaning our baby's clothes? By choosing baby detergents that are natural, non toxic and free of harmful chemicals.

1. Look at the EWG'S rating chart - the frequency of exposure to the residue of ingredients that are left behind in our clothes is just as important.

5 steps to choosing the best baby-safe detergent

Many of harsh chemicals are persistent and don't wash away easily and some chemicals remain active. When in doubt, look at the EWG ratings!

2. Read the labels and look for harmful ingredients

If a detergent leaves a scent, that means it left residue on your baby's clothes. The only thing your baby's clothes should smell is clean.

3. Choose fragrance free

Not all baby detergents that claim to be hypoallergenic use ingredients that are safe. Pay careful attention for SLS and SLES.

4. Pay attention to hypoallergenic

OBAs are best avoided altogether as they only make clothes appear brighter by leaving a lingering light-reflecting chemical on fabrics.

5. No optical brighteners
