Besides the fact that we are looking at better alternatives, there is always something in it that can be absorbed by the skin. It is never completely harmful free. The Attitude team was fed up with this and started working with baby laundry to bring a completely safe variant to the market that is not only safe, but also that cleans clothes well.

Why switch or start with safe baby detergent?
It may sound a bit exaggerated to also switch to specially developed detergent for babies. However, this is not easy, and we will tell you exactly why :)
Your skin is an absorbent organ, by using harmful substances (by using products) this affects your natural protective layer of your skin. Especially with babies. The baby's skin is not yet completely 'finished'. The baby's skin is a lot thinner and therefore absorbs much more through the skin, which ends up in your baby's body. If a care product, including detergent, contains harmful substances that are carcinogenic or hormone disruptive... well, you don't want that of course.
The fact is that a baby's skin is still in full development during the first year. Your baby's three layers of skin are not yet fully developed. The skin cells are not yet completely bonded together, which means that the baby's skin is more permeable than fully developed skin and is extremely sensitive. The skin contains sebaceous glands, these sebaceous glands are not yet fully functional and therefore the baby's skin is not yet protected by a lipid film. That's why your baby smells sooo wonderful! The baby's skin has a neutral pH value, which is because the baby's skin is not yet protected by an acid mantle that limits the multiplication of germs. This acid meter is a protective film ( 1 ).
So all in all, it takes about a year for the baby's skin to fully develop, which means that it can protect itself against external irritants. In addition, sensitive baby skin loses moisture faster than adults and the protective layer does not renew as quickly as us, it is absolutely advisable to use completely safe and especially gentle care products and therefore laundry. Using 100% is therefore also recommended.
How do I use the natural detergent for babies?
How much baby detergent you use depends on the stains in the baby clothes, the more stains the more detergent you will need. For the sake of clarity, we have placed the table below that is on the back of the packaging of the Pear/Nectar Liquid Detergent.
For stubborn stains in small baby clothes, it is recommended to do the following: pour a small amount of natural baby detergent directly onto the stain and rub it in. You can also let it soak in before washing. We always recommend reading the label, even on baby clothes, to avoid doing anything that could have negative consequences for the baby clothes. The detergent, logically, keeps you out of the reach of children and babies.
What is the difference with attitude detergent and other detergents?
The difference between Attitude detergent and other brands' detergent is the ingredients. Attitude only uses safe ingredients that have been tested and completely safe. They also only use natural ingredients for their products.
Attitude has official certifications for EWG, ECOLOG and PETA. Although both Attitude and other brands work with anionic and non-ionic surfactants, the difference lies in the origin of the ingredient used. Below is a clear explanation of the difference. Attitude does not contain enzymes, phosphates and other carcinogenic substances. This is the case with other brands. Even if it contains 0% perfume and/or 0% dyes.
In addition, detergents made from anionic and non-ionic surfactants are used. Quite simply, this ensures that water does not become a ball, but is mixed with other products so that it can penetrate into the fiber of the baby clothes. It should become a watery substance. Anioic and nonionic refers to the electric charge.
Anionic active substances ensure that it becomes a watery substance and can be spread well everywhere in the clothes and has cleaning properties and produces a lot of foam.
Non-ionic active substances have low foaming properties and are used, among other things, in detergents and rinse aids. It has no electrical charge, making it resistant to water hardness and cleaning on most surfaces.
Is the natural detergent also suitable for sensitive baby skin?
Absolute. The attitude team believes it is important that all their products can be used by everyone. They always have everything independently tested by scientists, and they also work together with dermatologists, so that the products are also suitable for the most sensitive baby skin. This also means that they dermatologically test natural ingredients, making Attitude detergents also suitable for the most sensitive skin.
Has the Pear/Nectarine Detergent also been dermatologically tested?
Yes, in addition to having everything tested by independent scientists, the Attitude team also works with dermatologists. They do this so that they can be sure that all ingredients that have been tested and found to be safe are also suitable for the most sensitive among us. An ingredient may be safe and natural, but it can sometimes cause irritation in the most extreme cases. That is exactly what the team wants, to remove all possibilities so that everyone can use Attitude Baby Laundry safely and pleasantly.
Do I wash my baby clothes with a hypoallergenic detergent if I use the Attitude Detergent?
Hypoallergenic detergent means that no allergic reactions can occur when using the product in question. Most detergents that you just buy in the store contain enzymes, which digest the dirt in your laundry. In this way the clothes become clean, if enzymes remain in the clothes, allergic reactions can occur. Attitude's baby detergent does not contain enzymes, the detergent is made from vegetable and mineral raw materials. They are also free from phosphates, dyes or optical brighteners. This detergent with a natural scent of nectar/pear is suitable for the whole family, but especially for babies.
Can I also use this detergent if I want to wash with cold water?
Some ladies like to wash at low temperatures. Although this is not recommended for baby clothes, because a minimum temperature of 60 degrees ensures that all bacteria are killed, Attitude detergent can even be used at cold temperatures. So it does indeed clean the clothes. Cold water is better for the environment, higher temperatures are better for the baby. You can also put the clothes in the sun, which also ensures that all bacteria are killed.
Does this natural detergent for babies also contain perfume?
This detergent does not contain any chemical perfume, which is harmful to the health of your little miracle. However, this detergent does contain the natural scent of Pear/Nectar. This scent is obtained completely naturally and is therefore not harmful to your little one. However, if you want a detergent without a scent, that is of course possible! Especially if you want your little one to smell only your mommy scent. In that case, we would like to refer you to the Attitude Baby Laundry Perfume Free.
Is this Attitude detergent completely safe?
The detergent with the natural scent of pear/nectar is completely safe. It only contains 7 ingredients in total, so it only contains necessary ingredients. They keep it wonderfully simple. You don't have to worry about enzymes that can remain behind and irritate, or any sensitive or non-natural ingredients that can be harmful or irritating to the most sensitive skin!
This baby detergent is an absolute must have for every mother, and can certainly be used for the whole family :) Another step closer to a home with only safe products for the whole family.
Is this detergent also vegan and cruelty free?
You may find it important that the detergent is vegan and cruelty-free. In other words, the product or the ingredients have not been tested on animals, and it does not contain any animal ingredients. And that is the case with the Attitude baby detergent. They keep it safe and fun for people, animals and nature. So we look in every possible way to find a product that does not harm humans, animals or nature in any way.
