The cleaning aisle is a minefield of potential irritants when you have sensitive skin. So many laundry and dishwashing products contain chemical fragrances and dyes that us sensitive types need to avoid! Ecover knows many of you trust our plant and mineral based products to be gentle on you and your family. But hey, there’s no need to just take our word for it – we put a whole range of Ecover products to the test – and an external team of dermatologists found them suitable for sensitive skin!

The following products were tested and passed with flying colors:

• Dishwashing Liquids
• Laundry Liquid
• Laundry Powder Zero
• Bleach Powder
• Fabric Softeners
• Delicate Wash

In conducting the tests, specially trained dermatologists recruited 22 men and women with sensitive skin, who then used Ecover products in their everyday lives for three weeks while washing dishes and doing laundry. During this testing, dermatologists closely oversaw the participant’s reactions, thoroughly monitoring their skin for any development of abnormalities. The men and women were also asked to score the products on several criteria, such as skin irritation, redness, and itching. All the Ecover tested products were found to be “gentle to the skin.” Yesss!

We are proud of these results of course, and we want everyone to be confident with our products and their skin sensitivity. So we took a look at the many confusing logos pertaining to sensitivity currently on the market, and decided to develop one that had a clear and direct message – simply: dermatologists found our products suitable for sensitive skin, nothing less. So look for the new “Dermatologically Tested For Sensitive Skin” logo on the Ecover website. Rest assured that Ecover will always be tough on dirt, but always kind to your skin … naturally!
