Finding a laundry detergent that won’t irritate Eczema

Okay, if you’ve got eczema, you know that laundry detergent can either be your best friend or your worst nightmare. I learned this the hard way after using one that smelled amazing but left my skin feeling like I had rolled in fiberglass. Not fun. Turns out, all those fragrances, dyes, and harsh chemicals in regular detergents can make eczema way worse. So, I went on a mission to find something that wouldn’t leave me scratching like crazy.

The top contenders? All Free & Clear, Tide Free & Gentle, and Arm & Hammer Sensitive Skin—all fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and supposedly gentle on sensitive skin. I’ve tried a couple, and they’ve definitely been better than the regular stuff, but I’m still open to recommendations. Have you found one that actually works without making your skin freak out? Let’s swap tips because no one should have to suffer over clean laundry!
