Is Heavily Scented Laundry Detergent safe?

Heavily Scented Laundry Detergent is rated Use Caution. It's not our top pick for a low-tox home, but with mindful use — following manufacturer guidelines, replacing when worn, and avoiding high-heat or abrasive conditions — the risks may be manageable for some households.

Key concerns at a glance:

  • Fragrance mixes can include phthalates and sensitizing compounds
  • Optical brighteners add chemicals that stay on fabric and skin
