Is this product safe to wash new born/baby clothes?

is it safe for septic systems?

I would not use this at our farm because the ingredients are toxic. We have a septic system for the main house and a lagoon for the barns. Both require natural bacteria to function properly. Adding in chemicals that can damage or kill off the bacteria will result in catastrophic failure. These chemicals are found in laundry detergents that are not natural. This detergent contains the following chemicals: C12-C15 Alcohol Ethoxylate 68131-39-5 Sodium carbonate 497-19-8 Ethyl alcohol 64-17-5 TRIETHANOLAMINE 102-71-6 Cocamidopropyl Betaine 61789-40-0 Glycerol 56-81-5 Subtilisin 9014-01-1
