My opinion is positive - the gel is gentle, and the clothes washed in it are clean, with a pleasant, delicate scent. Like other products of this type intended for babies, it does not contain aggressive detergents, so it is obvious that it cannot remove all stains - it is important that the washed clothes are clean. The advantage is the addition of glycerine and gently acting saponins from soap nut shells and the lack of optical brighteners. The consistency of the gel could be slightly thicker, but these are minor details. The most important thing is that a successful, new product for washing both white and colored clothes of the youngest children is entering the market.
