**Short answer:** Spot laundry detergent sheets are hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested. The plant-based formula is free of dyes, parabens, phosphates and 1,4-dioxane. Spot has a light Fresh Linen scent — if you need a fully unscented wash, look for a fragrance-free product instead.

### Why Spot suits sensitive skin

Sensitive skin often reacts to leftover detergent, strong perfume or harsh additives. Spot is built to keep the wash simple:

- Hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested
- Plant-based formula made in Sweden
- Free of dyes, parabens, phosphates and 1,4-dioxane
- Nine published ingredients — nothing hidden in the jug
- Dissolves fully, so less risk of residue on fabric

### About the scent

Spot comes in Fresh Linen — a light, clean scent, not a heavy perfume. Some people with very reactive skin still prefer fragrance-free detergent. Spot does not sell a fragrance-free sheet today. If unscented is a must, choose a brand that offers it, or test one Spot pack first (30-day guarantee).

### Tips for a gentler wash

1. Dose to the load — half a sheet for small and medium loads. Extra detergent can leave residue that irritates skin.
2. Put the sheet in the drum with the clothes so it dissolves fully.
3. Run an extra rinse if your machine offers one and your skin is very reactive.
4. Wash new clothes once before wearing them next to skin.
