It's pH neutral and smells delicious - cedar and sandalwood. Very nice alternative to the more floral scent most laundry soap has.
Unfortunately, it's not cheap. But neither was all of this merino/cashmere clothing and I want to do all I can to protect it!
Interesting--everything I own that's merino is perfectly fine washed normally, although the socks do say to wash inside-out. On the other hand, all my stuff is for backcountry use, it's expected to encounter more than the average person dishes out.
