I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for P&G. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All opinions and reviews are my own.
My children and I have very sensitive skin, so I am a fan of laundry products that do the job without all of the unnecessary additives that may aggravate skin conditions.
Apparently, we are not alone. Just about half of U.S. consumers have sensitive skin. What many folks don’t realize is that topical skincare products are only part of the solution. The detergents they are using to launder their clothing may be contributing to skin sensitivities. Those scents that many brands add to their formulas, and about 87% of us buy, are really not necessary at all.
We watch what we put into and onto our bodies when it comes to skin care and food, and now it’s important to translate those concerns to what we wear on our bodies. Everyone should follow a dye and perfume free laundry regiment whether you think you need to or not. We just started using P&G Free & Gentle products on our laundry have already noticed a difference.
Tide Free & Gentle Detergent not only is gentle for those of us with sensitive skin, but it removes stains more effectively. I love the added convenience of the pods; there’s no having to rinse the cap.
I’ve also been using Downy Free & Gentle Fabric Softener which softens our clothing without all of those added dyes and scents. And to provide static control and extra freshness, Bounce Free & Gentle Dryer Sheets.
Without a doubt, every time I am shopping for laundry products, I will always go the dye-free scent-free route. Why buy what you don’t need? I am very thankful that these products have become more mainstream, affordable and accessible so that everyone can benefit from them.
And you know what? The clothes still smell great without all of those overpowering scents and dyes. It just goes to show you that we don’t always need what we think we need. Our obsession with scented everything does more harm than good.
I **SHOULD** use dye free but I am big succor for things that smell good. :D
This looks like good stuff for our sensitive skin! All of us need to be super careful of dyes and harsh chemicals.
We have to use these types of products since my son has such sensitive skin! I love the pods – they are so easy to use.
It is great that P&G is making chemical free laundry products. I have severe psoriasis and I can not use any chemicals.
We switched over to fragrance free laundry care when my first was born. They clean just as well and don’t aggravate allergies!
My little ones have sensitive skin so I have to be careful what I use. These sound like great products for that!
I love the Tide products for sensitive skin, they really are so gentle!
I have major allergies and cant use any fabric softener or sheets for the dryer that have dyes or chemicals. Thanks for sharing these – will check them out at Target next weekend.
We have sensitive skin and allergies in my home. We have to be careful about what kind of detergent we use.
I love the laundry detergent pods. So simple to use and no drippy mess.
