Babies have very sensitive skin susceptible to allergies, rashes, acne and even eczema. To avoid skin irritation, using the right type of detergent does matter. Tried, tested and guaranteed safe for your little one, here’s a list below to see what works best for your baby.
Enfant – Made of biodegradable substances and formulated to give special care, this helps keep your baby’s clothes soft and clean. The Enfant brand is a PH balanced liquid detergent that is non-polluting, environmentally friendly and it smells nice, too. www.enfant.com.ph
Cycles – Made from hypoallergenic and ultra-mild baby ingredients, the Cycles brand does NOT contain dyes, optical brighteners, enzymes, fabric softeners, harsh chemicals or any soap residues that may harm your baby’s skin. Testing also showed that this liquid detergent is almost as pure as water. SGS-certified (Societe Generale de Surveillance), Cycles virtually leaves no residue on clothes. It’s mild yet it thoroughly cleans and removes stubborn stains on soiled clothes. www.cyclesbaby.com
Pigeon – 100 percent phosphate and fluorescent free with no added artificial colourings, this concentrated formula can be used for both soaking and washing (hand or machine wash). The bottles come with a measuring cup making it more convenient to determine the amount of liquid required in every wash.
Smart Steps – NO Dyes. NO Bleach. NO Optical Brighteners. This helps prevent skin dryness and irritation and therefore effectively strong enough to remove unnecessary stains on clothes. Also available in powder form. www.mommysmartsteps.com
