Optical Brighteners

[liberatordeluxe]

Does anyone know how common allergies to Optical Brighteners are? Sometimes And for those that wish to avoid them is there a biological powder/tablet for white/light clothing with OBA’s?

Should of read

Does anyone know how common allergies are to Optical Brighteners? And is there a powder/tablet for light or white clothing to keep them clean without the use of OBA’s?

Sorry about the typo error.

Extremely uncommon I would think. I have certainly never come across any case of it and nor has any studies I’ve read.

For whites and lights, bleach containing detergent that shouldn’t really need optical brightener, that is usually only added to colour detergents.

Have always avoided them due to their bad press by some companies but never had a reaction to the Ariel or Persil Bio formats except a Tesco own brand what I used once and the whole household was covered in a red rash!

I never have nor would I ever use Fabric conditioner as it contains animal fat (tallow on comfort). Which also begs the question of animal fat being present in liquid detergents?
