#laundry-detergent

You've added another person - with their specific bodily requirements - to your house; congrats! And yes, of course babies have sensitive skin, and yes of course that includes your kid. You will also be doing umpteen loads of laundry a week, so figuring out which detergent your little one's skin can handle might be a bit tricky. These detergents come in a variety of formulas, scents and more.

They're essentially dried-down sheets of concentrated laundry detergent that dissolve in the washing machine. Lots of brands are making them, but none have made them completely plastic-free (until now with the Proofed! sheets). Yes, most sheets (and laundry detergent pods) contain sneaky microplastics, like polyvinyl alcohol or PVA, which are used as a binding agent. They break down in the wash but never really go away, as they leak into water systems and contribute to the growing plastic pollution problem.
