If you have sensitive skin, you already know the struggle is real when it comes to laundry. One wrong detergent and suddenly you're dealing with itchiness, rashes, or flare-ups that just won’t quit. But here’s the good news—clean, irritation-free laundry is 100% possible. You just need to know what to look for (and what to steer clear of).
At Bloop, we’ve crafted a natural laundry soap that’s gentle enough for the most sensitive skin—without compromising on clean and smells great!. Let’s dig into what makes a laundry soap truly skin-safe.
🚫 Ingredients to Avoid in Laundry Detergents
Most traditional detergents contain harsh, synthetic chemicals designed for deep cleaning—but they’re also notorious for irritating sensitive skin. Here are some common culprits:
-
Artificial Fragrances: Often made from dozens of undisclosed chemicals, synthetic fragrance is a top skin irritant. It’s also one of the biggest triggers for allergies and eczema.
-
Sulfates (SLS/SLES): These are aggressive cleansing agents that can strip skin of its natural moisture barrier, leading to dryness and irritation.
-
Dyes: Added purely for aesthetic reasons, dyes can trigger allergic reactions and serve no real purpose in your laundry.
-
Preservatives like Methylisothiazolinone: Found in many commercial formulas, this common preservative has been linked to skin sensitization and allergic contact dermatitis.
-
Optical Brighteners: These coat your clothes with synthetic chemicals to make them look cleaner, but they can linger on fabric and irritate the skin.
✅ Gentle, Skin-Friendly Ingredients in Bloop
At Bloop, we believe laundry soap should be effective, safe, and non-irritating—especially for families, babies, and anyone with sensitive skin. Our formula is free from the common irritants above and instead features simple, plant-derived ingredients:
-
Coco Glucoside & Decyl Glucoside: These are ultra-mild, plant-based cleansers derived from coconut and sugar—gentle on the skin but tough on dirt.
-
Potassium Cocoate: A natural soap made from coconut oil that helps lift stains without harsh effects.
-
Glycerin: A skin-soothing humectant that keeps moisture in and dryness out.
-
Polysorbate 20: A mild emulsifier that helps blend ingredients smoothly without irritating the skin.
-
Sodium Citrate & Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda): These help soften water and balance pH for a gentler wash.
