Detergent Allergy

Detergent Allergy

When it comes to things that you put on your body you have to be very selective and careful – monitor the ingredients and find the best possible option, particularly if you are someone who is highly sensitive. Products like body soap, perfume, lotion, and even laundry detergent that is used to clean your clothes can be potentially irritating to your skin and can further progress into something more severe such as an allergic reaction to the detergent.

Laundry detergent is not often something that you pay too close of attention to, if it is able to effectively wash your dirty clothes clean and leave a pleasant smell than it is quite alright in your book. But if you are someone that has sensitive skin and/or are prone to allergies than it is necessary to look closer at your detergent and determine if your detergent is causing an allergic reaction on your skin.

What Causes a Washing Detergent Allergy?

What Causes a Washing Detergent Allergy?Did you know that the average family or household washes approximately 80 pounds of laundry a week? This means that a lot of detergent will be used and absorbed into the fabric of your clothing over a duration of time. Laundry detergent is composed of an amalgam of chemicals that can be potentially toxic and irritating to the human skin, these chemicals include sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)/ sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), 1,4-dioxane, NPE, and phosphates.

These chemicals can not only be dangerous to the environment and waterways, but it can also leave an impact on your skin when exposure occurs. A washing detergent allergy can be caused by these mix of chemicals as they come into contact with the skin, which can cause the red, itchy skin that is caused by an allergic reaction.
