Newborn skin is thinner, more permeable, and more reactive than adult skin — which means whatever is in the laundry detergent washing their clothes matters more than most people realise. This two-ingredient powder is fragrance-free, enzyme-free, and optical brightener-free. It cleans effectively at 30–40°C and is gentle enough for daily use from birth.
HERO INGREDIENT — Washing Soda Washing Soda is sodium carbonate — a naturally occurring mineral that has been used as a laundry cleaning agent for over two centuries. It's strongly alkaline, which makes it highly effective at breaking down protein and fat-based staining. For baby laundry the key is always to follow with a double-rinse cycle to ensure no residue remains against sensitive skin.
WHAT ELSE IS IN THIS RECIPE
Bicarbonate of Soda (Food Grade) — softens water and deodorises fabrics — works with Washing Soda to lift staining at lower temperatures
