Why Choose Baby Laundry Detergent?

New parents know that babies can be a little messy and go through lots of outfits, bedding, and blankets. Sometimes it’s hard to believe how much! The benefit of choosing a baby laundry detergent is that it’s specially formulated to lift baby-specific stains, while also nurturing a baby’s sensitive skin, which is more susceptible to becoming irritated. Now, you may be wondering…what’s the best laundry detergent for babies? Good question. We recommend choosing a baby laundry detergent free from ingredients such as phosphates, chlorine, and optical brighteners, which may cause irritation or rashes. And as every parent knows, that’s a sure way to make everyone cranky. Curious to learn more? Discover everything you need to know about your baby’s skin.

They work hard, help protect your baby’s sensitive skin, and are made with ingredients you can feel good about bringing into your home.

Baby Detergent FAQs

  • What detergent is best to wash baby clothes in?
    We recommend choosing a baby laundry detergent that is gentle and free of fragrances, dyes, and chemicals that can irritate a baby's sensitive skin. If you’d rather not purchase a baby laundry detergent, but want the same benefits, choose a laundry detergent made for sensitive skin that’s fragrance-free and dye-free.
  • Is baby laundry detergent really necessary?
    While baby laundry detergent may not be essential, it is often recommended for use on baby clothes and bedding due to its gentle formula. Additionally, while it’s sometimes tough to know what’s in the products you buy, it’s nice to know that baby laundry detergents are typically free of fragrances, dyes, and chemicals that can irritate a baby's delicate skin.
