The international allergy label The Blue Label was founded in Denmark in the 1980s by the patient association Asthma-Allergy Denmark. A patient association that works towards making everyday life easier for people with allergies, hay fever, asthma and eczema.

Three countries. One trusted label!

Asthma-Allergi Denmark has for many years collaborated with the Asthma-och Allergi förbundet in Sweden and the Norwegian Asthma-och Allergiforbund. In 2018, the three associations joined forces on a common allergy label: Asthma Allergy Nordic - AAN

When you see the Asthma Allergy Nordic logo on a product you can be sure that the product contains no perfume and that AAN has done a critical assessment of the recipe. Products with the Asthma Allergy Nordic logo are considered beneficial for those who suffer from asthma, allergy or other sensitivity – and for everyone else who wants to avoid perfumes and allergens.

To assess whether a product can carry Asthma Allergy Nordic label, the association require information about all the ingredients that are used in the product, as well as their concentration and function.

What causes skin allergy?

All substances can potentially cause skin allergy. But some substances cause skin allergy more frequently than others. Asthma Allergy Nordic impose requirements for those substances to be excluded from products that carry Asthma Allergy Nordic label.

This means, among other things, that the following substances may not be used in the products:

• Perfume – both natural and synthetic
• The addition of formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers
• Kathon, MI and MCI
• Colophonium

You can prevent contact allergy

You run the risk of developing allergies to the substances you meet in your everyday life. Therefore you must avoid unnecessary substances in eg. your clothes, if you want to prevent contact allergy. Since perfume is one of the major risk factors, it is wise – especially for children – to avoid perfumed products.

Contact allergy is the only allergy that can be prevented. It therefore makes sense to use OdorKlenz to remove unnecessary chemicals from your laundry.
