Hi all, just wondering if anyone could help me. I had a really bad allergic reaction to LIDL brand doussy fabric conditioner the yellow one its called "Summer Sun".
I am trying to find out the ingredients of this product but the stores are not stocking it anyone. Long story short has anyone got a bottle of this detergent in the press that the could check for me? Would be soo grateful :)

I think my Lidl sells it and I will check when I next go as they have some quite good value products and also laundry products.

Will keep you posted :-)
 
FYI

Gemma, this is not a detergent, it's a fabric softner.

For everyone else....a "press" in Ireland is a cupboard and not an ironing device :-)

Hot point fan: Thanks so much I would really really appreciate this :)

Paul C- Thanks for clarifying the above :)
 
Doussy.....not sure the kind you're talking about,...
Over here we have many models of Doussy softeners, the one sold in the 4 liters bottle, and the ones sold in concentrated forms of 1 liter (these ones are made in Germany, while the 4L bottles and the 2L rose scented are made in Italy, but guess you're talking of the one Made in Germany)...
I don't really recall having seen the "summer scent" over here.... the only yellow one I've seen is the Marseille scented coming in yellow color here...
Anyway, I don't really recall also having seen something different in the Doussy softener base ingredients than others...cationic surfactans, perfume and color...like 99% of  every "regular" fabric softeners and like all the ones sold at LIDL...they usually just put these ingredients in the list, don't recall I have seen the specific fragrances names or colors used in each formula:"coumarin, Linalool,Geraniol etc".....for istance....
But, you may easily be allergic to the scent used, or less likely color.....would be interesting to know if you're allergic to every scent/kind/perfumation of Doussy or if you just are allergic to the summer scent...
I think likely they have the same base, it just changes the scent they put in them and color....
I don't use much liquid softeners, just dryer sheets...moreover I don't actually shop at LIDL anymore for so many reasons....would be nice to know more to find out what's the thing you're allergic to, comparing it to the others, it will be also helpful to find out if you're maybe allergic to a specific fragrance or color that may also be used in other products than LIDL's  summer scent softener....

Kenmoreguy 89- The product that I had the reaction to is on the link that you posted. I cannot get LIDL to give me a list of the specific ingredients in it. The did pass me the safety data sheet but it was produced by a company named Luhns and they have not produced this product for Lidl since 2008. Lidl will not help me. Al I want is the label of the back of the bottle, so that I can give it to my Dr to rule in or rule out chemicals that may have produced this reaction.

Interestingly Lidl did say that the safety data sheet is the same for all the colours ie yellow, pink, white and blue. However if I am allergic to the scent or colour this does not help me :(
 
@ Gemma id personally steer clear of fabric softeners even the 'sensitive' kind. They are renowned cause of allergy. If you must use one stick a well known brand where you can check out the ingredients online.
 
OK...thanks, I always wondered where Lidl products came from....
Luhns..good to know, looks like most of their products comes from there ....on the section private label you can clearly see bottles of W5  (W5 is Lidl's brand for some cleaners) floor cleaner from Lidl....


As it was said, it's hard task to realize the list of ingredients....I don't really recall if there's a full ingredient list in doussy softeners bottles...I think not, I also find crazy that LIDL store does not have a piece of sheet to give their customers mentioning ingredients of products they sell, this is inacceptable lack of seriousness!  Even if as they say this softener is no longer carried since 2008, last time I got in a Lidl (1 month ago or so) they still had these softeners over here! Not sure about UK or Ireland....  Maybe they no longer have the sun scent but hell they still carry these softeners produced by Luhms elsewhere! They have all the same bottle!
What you could do though, is write an email to Luhms trying to investigate the complete list,  maybe even of the blue one and others, you can say it is needed to your allergist or dermatologist to determine an allergy you have for them and that actually may help out much..they should help you I think after this, unless they lack of seriousness in this sense like LIDL.

Since looks like this Luhms still produce many products for Lidl, and maybe even cosmetics (as I can read they also produce cosmetics) I think  for now until new developments of the matter you better stay away from buying these kind  of products from them as the thing you're allergic to may easily be found in their cosmetics or other cleaning products also,  that may be found anywhere from dishwashing liquid to multipurpose cleaners or also cosmetics as foam bath or shampoos (here we have a summer sun scent shower gel branded Cien in lidl, maybe the same scents of the softener???)

I cannot help much...my suggestion  for now is to try other softeners and avoid Lidl ones of course, if you've developped or are developping an allergy  you may still try to use hypoallergenic  softeners and see if it is okay....that would be wise to do until you don't find out what's the cause.

If you became allergic to certain scents or colors is not to exclude this will repeat with others than lidl ones.
I think we cannot help you much or better than you can do by writing to Luhms and ask them, allergy tests may help also...as I said it may regard a wide range of products you  use daily, cosmetics, cleaners etc....not only the ones from Lidl of course...
Good luck

I did contact luhns but they informed me that they have not produced this product for Lidl since 2008 and when I informed Lidl of this, they still would not give me the details I needed.
I am hoping they are still selling it in the UK.
