When choosing detergent for babies with atopic skin, the most important thing is that the product is free of perfume, scent, dye, and phosphates. Most baby detergents carry a "for babies" label, but what makes a difference for atopic skin is being "hypoallergenic" and "fragrance-free."
According to current pediatric guidelines, liquid detergents generally leave less residue than powders. Using an extra rinse cycle is also an effective way to reduce allergen residue. You should definitely avoid fabric softeners — chemicals in softeners can increase irritation on atopic skin.
The safest approach: wash your baby's clothes separately from the rest of the family's laundry, and use white vinegar (1 cup per wash) as a natural fabric softener alternative. If you don't see a noticeable improvement in skin within 1-2 weeks of changing detergent, consult your pediatrician or a pediatric dermatologist.
