When caring for your little one, every detail matters - especially when it comes to the products you use on their delicate skin. Babies have more sensitive skin than adults and are more prone to reactions from harsh chemicals, fragrances, and dyes commonly found in many laundry products.
It’s not just babies who experience sensitivities though, it has been estimated that 71% of adults identify as having sensitive skin and that as many as 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 5 children are living with a skin allergy.
In this guide, we’ll explore laundry products specially created for the skin that needs the most care.

Because babies spend so much time in close contact with their clothes, bedding, and blankets, it’s important to ensure their laundry routine is as gentle as possible. Baby-friendly laundry products are formulated to cleanse clothes without harsh chemicals, ensuring your baby’s skin remains safe and free from irritation.
