Formula w/benzisothiazolinone allergic reaction

As a person with sensitive skin, I have always been able to rely on Tide Free and Gentle to keep my skin comfortable and safe. I bought a new bottle of tide from my local store in March and the new formula is a nightmare. My face has swollen up, with hives on my face, neck, shoulders, back and legs. Please please please. If you say you're free and gentle, BE free and gentle. The saddest part is I would have been a life long customer but now that it's no longer safe for me to use, I have to find alternatives.

Deathly allergic reaction

I've used this for years before, but recently after use I broke out in a monstrous rash and hives that surpassed home medication and had to go to the hospital for treatment. Maybe if you want to surprise us by reformulating and adding benzisothiazolinone which is banned in Europe maybe add a disclaimer scum bags!

Perfect for baby!

With my first born I used Dreft on his clothes and regular Tide on mine. Turns out he had such sensitive skin that he would break out in a rash from any contact with my clothes. His doctor recommended Tide free to wash everyones clothes in. Now almost 3 years later and another baby on the way Tide Free is still the only detergent I use!

LOVE IT!!

We started using it for our baby's clothes. I loved it so much that I started to use it for all of our clothes. It is great for people with sensitive sknin because there is no scent to it. It does an excellent job at cleaning clothes, especially the stains that come with having a little baby.

tide free

I love Tide, but the chemicals in the regular formula are too harsh for my sensitive skin, thank you so much for this fragrance free one! I actually had to switch brands to another product line that offered fragrance free....though I wasn't particularly pleased with the wash results. Now, I'm back to my old friend Tide...in a fragrance free.

Skin safe detergent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide Free & Gentle is a hypoallergenic laundry detergent specifically formulated for sensitive skin. I've personally experienced itchy skin and sensitivity, so I'm thrilled to use this gentle detergent to avoid any potential issues. Tide's signature stain-fighting power is retained without the use of dyes or perfumes, ensuring that clothes are cleaned effectively without leaving any irritating resides behind. What sets Tide Free & Gentle apart is its Sensitive Skin Approval. It's dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic, making it safe for both babies and adults. Additionally, it's completely fragrance-free, which is beneficial for those with sensitive skin or those who are easily irritated by scents. Tide Free & Gentle also boasts expert certification. It has been awarded the EPA Safer Choice label and is certified by both the National Eczema Association and the National Psoriasis Foundation. In conclusion, I highly recommend Tide Free & Gentle as a reliable and effective laundry detergent for those with sensitive skin.

Irritation in the skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this product because my baby has very sensitive skin, and it has caused a very large irritation on my baby's skin. It has even caused a lot of itching on my skin, and I have never had problems with any detergent before.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love tide free and clear. Any time I need to clean something but don't need it to have a scent this is my go to. It always gives me a consistent clean and doesn't leave behind any residue in the washer or on clothes. It's great if you're a hunter or a family with allergies

Great for sensitive skin and doesn't leave random

I switched to Tide free and gentle a year ago. I used to get random stains on my clothes when doing laundry, and since I switched over to this brand, my clothes are nice and clean, no more random stains on clothes, and the smell is gentle, great for sensitive skin!
