Allergy Awareness Week: The Rise of Allergy-Friendly Living in the UK
As Allergy Awareness Week highlights the growing prevalence of allergies in the UK, we at Bio-D are seeing a consistent increase in demand for our Fragrance Free, Allergy UK approved cleaning and personal care products.
This trend isn’t surprising. According to Allergy UK, by 2026, one in two people in the UK is expected to be living with an allergy, up from the current one in three. The UK already ranks in the top three countries worldwide for the highest incidence of allergies, and with the NHS spending more than £900 million each year to manage allergic conditions, the need for safer, skin-friendly products has never been more urgent.
Why Fragrance Free Matters More Than Ever
For many, a scented Fabric Conditioner or citrusy Washing Up Liquid might seem harmless. But for those with allergies, asthma, eczema or other sensitivities, added fragrance can be a hidden trigger. Artificial perfumes and harsh preservatives are common culprits behind skin irritation, respiratory discomfort, and even more serious allergic reactions.
At Bio-D, we’ve long believed that everyone deserves safe, effective cleaning products, regardless of skin type or sensitivities. Our Fragrance Free range has been developed to offer exactly that, everyday essentials that are kind to skin, tough on dirt, and gentle on the planet.
Lloyd Atkin, Managing Director at Bio-D, shares:
“Creating products that are suitable for those with allergies and sensitive skin has always been a priority for us, and over the past few years especially, we’ve seen that allergy-friendly products are becoming an essential for a growing number of people.”
