I agree (another totally non-medical opinion, but I am a lifelong
allergy sufferer). In UK, the best stuff (from my experience) is
hypoallergenic washing powder called "Surecare" (it comes in white boxes
with green writing). Cut out all fabric conditioner - it really is the
worst stuff for any skin allergies. The problem with laundry soap is
that it contains lanolin, a common allergen. HTH.
