Selecting a good baby's fabric detergent is also a decision we must make once entered parenthood. This is because baby has very sensitive skin. Not only limited to babies but toddlers and children also have sensitive and delicate skin. I've been given a chance to try out baby laundry detergent and softener from B&B. Why B&B? Answer is at their website : B&B also known as Baby & Basic is the most widely used brand among Korean moms for infant-related household products. B&B baby care products are free of harmful substances and made of natural ingredients only. Every product has an ‘AIEGE’ logo attached to it that promises to eliminate 30 potential harmful substances as proclaimed by European Bureau of Consumer Unions (BEUC) and USA’s environmental organisation EWC (Environmental Working Group).
In this post, I will review on the detergent and softener from B&B. I will use my toddler's shirt, in which both are the same material (t-shirt) and almost similar design. Their bottle are designed at 1500ml per bottle and has an handle for easy handling. Wordings are mostly in Korean and they have pasted a translated label which is in English.

Testing on the Detergent (Since only 2 pieces of shirt, I will test by using Hand Wash):-
** Due to different location, lighting condition and time taken of the photos so the color has some differences.
1) I add a little smear of dirt on my daughter's shirt.
 |
| Dirt |
 |
| Soak |
3) Put a little drip of the detergent and scrub on the dirt.
 |
| Dip |
 |
| Scrub |
 |
| After scrubbing a few times and the dirt eventually has been removed |
 |
| After mix a few times with hand, a lot of bubble being formed |
Testing on the Softener:-
6) At the last rinse of water, I only use one shirt for softener testing. I poured 3-4 drops of fabric softener into the water with the shirt and mix a while.
 |
| Add softener |
 |
| Squeeze dry |
 |
| Result: Stain no longer visible after hang dry |
 |
| Top: Before washing Bottom: Both shirt are washed with detergent but only the left shirt is soaked with softener. |
Review Summary:
Experience: Detergent doesn't have slippery soapy feeling while scrub on the fabric but have bubbles formed. It only feel like water. It also doesn't have strong chemical smell or very strong fragrance when poured. Softener on the other hand has a stronger fragrance smell. But once the clothes are dried, the fragrance subside to very mild. Compared on the fabric which used softener has lesser wrinkles, feels softer compared to the shirt without using fabric softener (Notice the ear and hoodie area on the photo above are smoother on the left). But both(with and without softener) has lesser wrinkles compared to before wash. After washing, hands won't fee dry, which is a plus point! Overall I fell that this is a nice detergent and softener for babies with sensitive skin in which it is also gentle to moms (or dads as well, if he is the one doing laundry).
