Is Sensitive Laundry Liquid suitable for sensitive skin and allergies?Updated 8 hours ago
TL;DR: Sensitive Laundry Liquid is Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia and Dermatest tested. There's no added fragrance, no dyes, no chlorine bleach and no optical brighteners. In general that makes it a safer choice for households managing sensitive skin, allergies or asthma.
Is Sensitive Laundry Liquid suitable for sensitive skin and allergies?
✓ Built for sensitive households
Sensitive Laundry Liquid was formulated for people managing sensitive skin, allergies, asthma or eczema in the house. It cleans with enzymes rather than leaning on perfume to cover odour, so the load comes out of the machine without a scent on it.
✓ What's left out
No added fragrance, no dyes, no chlorine bleach, no optical brighteners and no phosphates. Those are the detergent additives most often raised in connection with skin reactions and respiratory triggers, so leaving them out is the point of the formula.
Which certifications does it carry?
✓ Two independent assessments, plus an environmental certification
Sensitive Choice approved. Sensitive Choice is a program run by the National Asthma Council Australia that identifies products suited to people managing asthma and allergies.
Dermatest tested. Dermatest is an independent institute that assesses how well a product is tolerated by skin.
Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) certified. GECA is Australia's environmental certification body, assessing a product across its whole life cycle rather than a single ingredient.
All three are third-party assessments, which means someone outside Koh did the work.
What if my skin is highly reactive?
⚠ Worth knowing before you switch
Skin and sensitivities vary from person to person. No laundry product suits every individual, and we won't tell you otherwise. What we can say is that in general Sensitive Laundry Liquid is a safer choice for a sensitive household, and here's the specific basis for that: it's Dermatest tested for skin tolerability, Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia, and formulated with no added fragrance, no dyes, no chlorine bleach and no optical brighteners.
If your skin is highly reactive, wash one item first and patch test against an internal seam before you run a full load.
If allergies are severe or medically managed, talk to your healthcare professional before introducing any new product. They know the history and we don't.
If something doesn't sit right, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers you, and our team would rather hear about it than not.
Around 60 washes per box. GECA certified, Sensitive Choice approved, Dermatest tested. No added fragrance, no dyes, no optical brighteners. Made in Australia.
