It's not perfumed or coloured and is very rich because its designed specifically for dry, irritated skin conditions but shouldn't make a mess of clothes. Ive certainly never had any problems with it causing damage to my clothes and as its water soluble it would wash out easily anyway. They also make emollient bath and shower products for managing eczema etc without drying the skin.
