Is Seventh Generation laundry detergent safe for sensitive skin?

If you are wondering about using our free&clear laundry detergents for you or your baby's clothes, you can rest assured that our free&clear laundry products are tested for skin irritation in two ways:

1. A "test tube" test that the EPA and FDA have approved for evaluation of irritancy.
2. Human "patch" tests in which volunteers wear a patch on their shoulder that contains our product.

If none or only one person among 100 volunteers develops a rash, the product is considered hypo-allergenic. The volunteers are supervised by a doctor. Because our free&clear laundry detergents pass these tests, the products are safe for sensitive skin.
