If you’re a new parent, chances are the amount of laundry you’re doing has (literally) piled up. With these increasingly frequent loads, new moms are looking at the impacts laundry detergents can have on their family’s health. Many new moms are moving away from traditional, chemical-laden detergents and embracing less toxic alternatives like Molly’s Suds Laundry Powder. Here’s why they say they are switching:

1. Safer for Baby’s Sensitive Skin

Newborns and infants have incredibly delicate skin that’s prone to irritation and allergic reactions. Traditional laundry detergents are often packed with harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and dyes - ingredients that can cause rashes, eczema, or other skin issues. Molly’s Suds contains safer ingredients that are gentle on all skin types and unlikely to cause irritation, even the most sensitive newborn skin. It is an important step to safeguarding your little one’s comfort.

2. Reduced Exposure to Harmful Chemicals

The chemicals found in traditional laundry detergents - such as phthalates, sulfates, and optical brighteners - can have damaging effects on developmental, endocrine and reproductive systems, for both babies and adults. These harsh chemicals are specifically formulated to linger on clothing and sheets, making it easier for them to be absorbed through your skin. Molly’s Suds is rated “A” on EWG), meaning their ingredients have been vetted and proven free from these harmful chemicals. Switching to a safer alternative helps minimize the risk of toxic chemical and carcinogen exposure, which is especially crucial for a baby’s developing body.

3. Environmentally Friendly Choices

Today’s parents are more conscious than ever about their environmental impact, and laundry detergent is no exception. Traditional detergents often come in plastic packaging and can contribute to water pollution with their chemical runoff. Molly’s Suds uses less plastic and is made in the USA, cutting carbon emissions. Molly’s Suds is free from environmental polluting chemicals like 1,4 Dioxane, meaning it helps keep our water supply clean and free from pollution now and for decades to come, contributing to a healthier planet.

4. Fewer Allergies and Respiratory Issues

Artificial fragrances are made in a lab using +100 different chemicals and toxic ingredients that can exacerbate allergies and respiratory issues, not just for babies but for the whole family. Molly’s Suds uses only natural plant essences and essential oils that are Safer Choice and ISO-16128 compliant. Naturally derived, plant-based scents are less likely to trigger allergic reactions or worsen asthma and other respiratory conditions, creating a healthier home for everyone.

5. Cheaper on a Price Per Load Basis

With all those extra loads, the cost of laundry detergent starts to add up! Traditional laundry detergents are less expensive but they come at a high health cost. Molly’s Suds uses safer ingredients and the cost per load is comparable to what you would spend on conventional laundry detergents - making the switch to Molly’s Suds a no-brainer!

New moms realize that switching to Molly’s Suds is not just about immediate benefits for your baby - it’s also a long-term investment for the entire family. By reducing exposure to potentially harmful chemicals, you’re making a proactive choice to protect your family’s overall well-being. This mindful approach supports a cleaner, safer living environment and promotes healthier habits for the future.
