Allergy Awareness Week: Why More People Than Ever Are Turning to Fragrance Free Living

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.”

The Bio-D Allergy UK Approved Range

Our Allergy UK-certified range has been carefully formulated to minimise irritation and eliminate unnecessary ingredients, without compromising on cleaning power.

The Bigger Picture: Allergies in the UK

Allergy UK reports that allergy-related hospital admissions have risen by 33% in the past five years. It’s a public health issue that impacts not just individuals, but workplaces, schools, and the NHS.

Some key stats to consider:

  • 1 in 2 people in the UK will be affected by an allergy by 2026
  • The NHS spends £900 million+ annually managing allergic conditions
  • The UK ranks in the top 3 globally for highest allergy rates

With these numbers on the rise, it’s no wonder that more people are paying closer attention to the products they bring into their homes. It’s not just about cleanliness anymore, it’s about safety, comfort, and peace of mind.

How to Create an Allergy-Safe Home

Here are a few simple tips to reduce allergy triggers at home:

  • Switch to fragrance free: Choose products that are clearly labelled as unscented or fragrance free and preferably certified by trusted organisations like Allergy UK.
  • Read ingredient labels carefully: Look out for preservatives like MI/MCI and synthetic fragrances that are common irritants.
  • Wash bedding regularly: Dust mites love fabric! Wash sheets and duvets weekly at 60°C using a gentle, hypoallergenic detergent.
  • Use a HEPA vacuum cleaner: These filter out fine particles like pet dander and pollen.

Every small change can help create a more comfortable living environment, especially for children, elderly relatives, or anyone with respiratory conditions.
