We use Seventh Generation products and their Natural Baby Laundry Detergent. It is not tested on animals.

There was a consumer who was worried that their products are tested on animals, not by the company, but by a 3rd party (see link). However, Seventh Generation responded by saying that they use existing test data which was received when they licensed their products to another company. They didn't directly contribute or commissioned any of their own tests. (So it's as if the other companies wanted assurance of animal testing, and then provided test results to Seventh Generation for reference.)

You can also use natural laundry detergents from Etsy (just a random one I found). These have the benefit of being simple (no fragrances, additives, etc.) and are not necessarily more expensive to use. The downside, of course, is that if you're out - and didn't order more - you got to go get something else from the store!

You can also make your own laundry detergent. If done in bulk, it's not too much work or difficult. And saves a heck of a lot of money.

I would recommend to look at iHerb online store. It supplies a vast selection of brand name natural products. Especially you can check Baby, Laundry Detergent category. Most of the products there aren't animal tested (this fact is denoted in description of the product).

I don't know where are you from, but I'm personally from Israel and it's also cheaper to buy these natural products at this site (including delivery) than at offline store nearby.

As a non-natural product option I would suggest researching regular detergents that are made fragrance free and/or are specifically for people with sensitive skin.

My doctor actually recommended staying away from Dreft and other products specifically made for babies. They have fragrances and chemicals in them that may negatively affect babies skin.
