So Country Save is out as a detergent option for us :(

I am itching like crazy and have the beginning of hives.  It looks like I'm allergic to something in the ingredient list. 

I hate having such sensitive skin. :(

    Yikes!  That is no good :(  I hope you can find a detergent that works for you!

    I have really sensitive skin (get rashes on my face from hotel sheets, etc.) and have been lucky with Country Save.. fingers crossed that continues ;)

    I've been good for a few weeks but I guess it built up.  I've got a HUGE box full still too. Someone on our local freecycle is going to be very happy.

    I'm heading to the store today to get something else.  I swear I'm ready to switch to Tide.  I loved CC but the stink was horrible.

    Heck...maybe I should make my own.  I have a recipe that I had tried and played around with and liked.  I'm just tired of switching and trying new things.

    if you're willing to use one thing on diapers and another on clothes try Biokleen free and clear. I love it and we have super sensitive skin in my house.

    I'm totally willing to use 2 different detergents.  I'm just worried that Kate might have a reaction too because she also has sensitive skin.  And yes...at this point I realize that I sound like a paranoid freak. LOL  I'm just tired of stripping, changing and trying new stuff.  But I will do whatever I need to do because I do NOT want to deal with that stink again.

    Ecover and BioKleen have both worked for us on our clothing without any issues at all and DS has eczema and I have some sort of allergy to something yet to be determined and patches of eczema and psoriasis...

    too bad. a few years ago, i was a CS fan. I have uber-sensitive skin too. Unfortunately, no one locally carries CS any more, and so I have switched to Charlies.

    My DS is also allergic to Country Save (got a terrible diaper rash from it after a few weeks of use)  We switched back to Planet, and all is cleared up now.

    I'm allergic to all forms of Tide.  I never checked the ingredient list to figure out what I'm allergic to.

    we use Arm and Hammer Dermatologist Tested and Oxy Clean. (in a large container mix 2tbs with 1tbs of Oxy Clean till full then use 2tbs per load). NOTHING else works for me, i get severe eczema and hives with just about everything (even F&C stuff).

    it is really the only thing that i can stand to wash my clothes in repeatedly. I do use just the A&H stuff alone, but the Oxy Clean helps with some of the serious dirt DH brings home (working on computers and crawling around in server rooms). 

    good luck finding what works... its tough... and sometimes the "working" is only temporary. I hope you find something soon. May the itch relief fairy visit you soon.
