What does Roskontrol say?
Roskontrol sent AOS "I was born" to the black list. It was found that it does not meet safety requirements - toxicity is above normal. The latter was determined in vitro (in vitro). The reason is the high content of residual surfactants after the 3rd rinse. To remove toxic substances from clothing, additional rinses are necessary - 5 or more times.
Consumer Reviews
Among the reviews there are both positive and sharply negative responses. Let's see what consumers say - mostly mothers leave reviews.
Pros
What users liked:
- Things don’t get the smell of a detergent.
- Qualitatively launders things.
- The skin of children is not irritated by contact with washed items.
- Affordable price.
- Rinses well.
- Quickly soluble in water.
- Good foaming.
- Things get soft - no need to use air conditioning.
- After washing, things are easily ironed.
- It does not cause allergies.
- Washes all things well.
Minuses
What categorically did not like:
- If you exceed the dosage - things get a pungent smell. Conclusion - carefully measure the prescribed dose.
- It does not completely wash the spots - you have to wash it. But not all impurities are equally easy to remove, even the most powerful products often do not cope with old stains. In this case, there are powder enhancers and stain removers.
"Testing"
The results of "testing" from consumers:
- When washing a white jacket, the result was excellent - all impurities were removed. For some reason, the colored T-shirt was worse, although the option was used specifically for colored linen. There were old spots on the shirt, they brightened, but did not disappear. Users love to wash with children's powders and adult things, and manufacturers go to meet them. So, "Nefis Cosmetics" produces an analogue with the postscript "for the family."
- Suitable for simple pollution in express mode. But for such a low price - this is a good result.
- When washing T-shirts, it was not possible to remove stains from apple juice. Compared to competitors in cleaning power. Suitable for uncomplicated everyday washing, not suitable for heavily soiled clothes.
- It was not possible to remove the blouses soiled in mashed potatoes - there were spots.
- The version for white products bleaches well.
Security issue
Many mothers are wondering if this powder is toxic, if it does not harm the health of children. They do not understand this question, since it is difficult to understand the composition, and phosphonates cover a huge number of compounds - and it is not known which of them are included in the composition.
The manufacturer removed phosphates, but the composition still contains harmful components:
- Phosphonates. Under certain conditions, they can transform into phosphates. The effect of phosphonates on the human body is almost the same as that of phosphates.
- Zeolites. They lead to damage to washing machines. Do not rinse out of tissue fibers - they are inlaid and destroyed. It is necessary to wash at high temperatures.
It is impossible to talk about the environmental friendliness and safety of the products represented by the brand in question.
Conclusions
To summarize:
- The composition has phosphonates. They are not as harmful as phosphates, and can have a variety of properties. Some phosphonates are almost harmless, others are poisonous. In any case, their maintenance in a detergent intended for washing children's things is undesirable.
- In children's detergents, responsible parents put safety and only then the quality of the laundry at the forefront.
- The opinions of users were divided - from “I will only erase them” to the categorical “he is terrible”. Probably, the matter is in requests, which each consumer has his own. Some wash barely soiled linen, others dream of cleaning old and hard to remove stains at a time, for which it is necessary to use special household chemicals.
Washing powder “I was born” is an inexpensive domestic product, designed for undemanding customers. It doesn’t wash well and is not safe. Its composition is doubtful, and the Roskontrol has not passed them - this is enough to cause distrust.
