I have just found Seventh Generation laundry powder from the USA in the local Coles supermarket. It has all sorts of environmental and gentleness claims on it. (Not sure about the environmental "benefits" of transporting laundry powder across the globe...) Naturally it is amazingly expensive.
I have been using a local eucalyptus based product for a year or more without problems but recently I have come out in patches of rough red cracked and itchy skin over my back and hands, and smaller spots on my legs and arms. It is proving very hard to heal and I want to use some very gentle products for a while at least, to give my skin a break from irritants. I am using a cortisone cream and moisturiser/barrier cream prescribed by my doc but it is not getting better which is very unusual for me. I have often had skin troubles over the years but they usually clear up in a week or two.
So has anyone here tried Seventh Generation laundry powder in a front loader? Does it wash well in warm water? Is it kind to irritable skin?
Thanks for your advice.
Chris.
