Trader Joes, YES they sell good natural detergent for less ! It's saved my life I am very allergic to artificial fragrances. also some companies like Planet, Tide, All, Cheer, (There's a good list on Amazon.com) are making fragrance FREE, natural, but check the ingredients (fine print) to make sure they are completely "free" of fragrance that's what contains the allergic chemicals, mostly.
