By the way, have you noticed how many children have skin problems, dry skin, eczema, blotched skin. Recently there has been more evidence emerging linking the use of synthetic chemicals in ordinary household cleaning products to health problems such as asthma, eczema, dermatitis and other skin and health problems. Laundry powder is a good example, as chemical residues can stay in your clothes, underwear, sheets and towels, in other words up against your skin day and night. They can irritate your skin and even worse - they can be absorbed.
One ingredient to be aware of is optical brighteners. They make your clothes appear 'brighter and whiter' but don't actually make them cleaner. Optical brighteners can cause allergic reactions when they come in contact with skin that is then exposed to the sun. They have also been known to create bacterial mutations in fish when released into waterways.
Look for laundry powder that is organic, plant and mineral based with no harsh synthetic chemicals, so it's safer and healthier. They reduce the likelihood of allergies, rashes or skin irritation.
