ARM & HAMMER Sensitive Skin Liquid Laundry Detergent is gentle on skin, but powerful on dirt.

Popular “mild” detergents include brands such as Joy, Ivory, Dawn, and eco-friendly options such as Seventh Generation, Ecover, and Dishmate. There are many options, but which detergent is the right detergent?
All ARM & HAMMER detergents are high efficiency detergents, so whether you prefer liquid, paks or powder your clothes will get a deep clean and you will save water*. Using regular detergents in HE washers can create too many suds.
Regular detergent shouldn't be used in HE washers because it produces too many suds in low water levels. This can potentially lengthen the wash cycle, affect the cleaning performance or overflow the machine. High-efficiency washers work at peak performance with HE detergent.
