RLR Question

WHAT exactly is this stuff ?

I've emailed the Cadie company 3 times so far - saying that my family has sensitive skin, so could they please tell me what the ingredients are.

The reply "We suggest you do not use this product".

Umm - that makes me nervous about using it on diapers for sure.

What is RLR? I would keep emailing and would call, call, call. I cannot believe they will not tell you. That is kind of odd.

I like Weleda stuff for sensitive baby skin

It's some kind of laundry additive.

Claims it's "not a detergent. not a bleach." But they won't tell me what it *IS* !! But they will tell me not to use it because of sensitive skin.

I would think that they HAVE to tell you what it is. Have you done a internet search on it?

the active ingredient in RLR is sodium carbonate, or soda ash.

sorry - not QUITE washing soda.

I'm doing some reading though - you can buy pure sodium carbonate in larger quantities from a pool supply store - it's used to increase the pH of the water.
