I use liquid Ecos from Costco for laundry soap. For rinse, I use a downy ball filled with some white vinegar. Works great!
Vinegar is a great fabric softener, and no smell either! :)

For body products, I use the Aloe Vera stuff at The Body Shop. Has no scent added.

Me too.Hubby has exema and dandruff,bad.We've bought little $10.00 bottles of tar shampoo etc over the yrs and finaly I started making my own laundry soap and shampoo.I use the Borax,Fels naptha,and super washing soda for laundry in the 5 gallon bucket.Lasts for months if not a year.And the shampoo is store bought from Sally's,but I add neem oil to it.I also buy the foot/elbow cream that's thick in the short fat jar in the foot section at walmart,and add neem oil to it too.He uses it daily and has no problems any more.I also added neem oil to the shower body soap.It kills all that kind of stuff.Tee tree oil does the same.It's antibacterial,antibiotic,antifungus,etc.Kills all kinds of things.I also use it in my toothpaste.

Liquid Woolite or Liquid Wisk.

We have soft water so all I need is a dab.

Last week our daughter broke out in a rash all over. She was using Liquid Tide and her doctor said it was an irritation with laundry soap. Doctor told her to use Dreft.

I use Seventh Generation Free and Clear 2X Concentrated Laundry Detergent. It can be used in both regular and High Efficency washers. I use it because I have Severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and am allergic to most everything, too. It works really well for me.

I'm sorry to hear about your son's eczema. One of my DGD was just diagnosed with it. I hope you find something that works for you. :)

We use either Tide or homemade soap. Every time I switch brands of soap hubby gets itchy and rashy. After a couple days it doesn't bother him any more -- except for Arm & Hammer, I can't use that at all.
