washing powder for sensitive skin

[Le Bec]

I wasn't sure where to put this, sorry if this is the wrong spot.

I'm thinking of changing our washing powder to one for sensitive skin as, even though we've swapped everything to no soap, no fragrance Erin is still having trouble with her skin - it's better but still not good. Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions? Particularly for one that I can pick up at Coles or Woolies?
Thanks

I use Purity or Amolin with no dramas. Have just ordered 1kg of soap nuts though so I'm hoping they'll be just as nice to our dodgy skin

we had problems with omo sensitive - Ben came up with a bright red rash that looked like really bad sunburn when we used it. Purity and Amolin were also problematic (not as bad as omo sensitive, but not good either)

we use Herbon laundry liquid - can't get it from coles/woolies, but it's one of the few that Ben didn't have problems with.

I use ecostore, not sure if it's for sensitive skin or not (boy I'm helpful!)

Have used herbon before too, and that was good but too expensive for us!

We use Amolin Liquid too, Omo sensitive gave a nasty rash here as did ecostore
I think its trial and error with each individual, I have found that I need to wash ALL our clothes in it too, otherwise he still gets rashy (residue in machine I suspect, or too many cuddles )

Wow Bek, poor Ben. It must have been horrible for him.

We're headed to the shops tomorrow before Erin's party so I'll see about picking up some Purity or the other one then. Thanks!

We use Aware Sensitive. Omo Sensitive caused build up in our nappies and rash problems for Zevulun early on. Sounds like it's problematic for a number of people. He can tolerate small amounts of it with clothes these days but I will never wash nappies in it again (only use it at all as we got a stack of it free with our washing machine that I'm trying to get rid of). The Aware is much better and no build up issues ever.

Oh good post, thank you.

I have been able to use Fab powder, but I am anxious now that they have changed all the formulations to make them double strength that I wont be able to use it

I need a front loader powder though, are any of those for front loaders?

I can't use soap nuts Simon gets a rash from them

Omo sensitive works well here with Alex & DH's dodgy skin .
I have a water efficient top loader that I have to use front loader powder in, so it is a bit difficult to find a sensitive one.
I picked up some Cold Power the other day, so I will have to see if 'the itchy ones' react or not. DH is already talking himself into it.

Soap Nuts? I know you can't get them in the supermarket...but they are good for sensitive skin
