    ~My dd has always required free & clear detergents for her sensitive skin. We switched over to homemade detergent almost 3 months ago and there have been no reactions. I think her skin looks better actually!
    I made 1/5 of a batch so I wouldn't get stuck so try it out and see for yourself!~

    In the days of the SOviet Union I had a relative who had terrible eczema, we sent all kind of things to try to help The thing that helped her the most was plain old Ivory soap. I still swear by it.

    I have exzema and make/use hm laundry detergent. In place of the fels naptha or zote, I grind up two bars of ivory bar soap. Works great, and doesn't bother my skin like most of the commerical laundry detergents do!
