Skin problems

Pros

My husband has suffered from eczema and other skin problems for years. I have used so many different laundry products that I can't even remember them all but since using Earthwise no fragrance washing powder most of the problems have disappeared.

Cons

It doesn't get more stubborn stains out, but I've learned to live with that.

Recommend it?

Maybe, it depends on what you're after.
