This label appears on TexCare® bottles. What guarantee does it provide?
The labelling scheme with products declared with TexCare's "Allergy label" symbol is intended to help consumers who want to use products that are sensible from an allergy perspective. The scheme is both for those who are allergic and for those who want to prevent allergies.
All ingredients must appear on the declaration so that you can read in the declaration whether the product contains the particular substance that you (may) know that you cannot tolerate. Today, there is no legal requirement for such a declaration of e.g. washing powder.
There are and are about 5000 different fragrances in perfumes. Some are natural fragrances extracted from e.g. plants, mosses and wood. Others are chemically manufactured. You can become allergic to both the natural fragrances and the chemically produced. "Naturally" made perfume can therefore be as allergenic as chemically produced. The allergy label guarantees the product free of perfume.
All substances used must have a technical function.
All the substances are used in concentrations that minimize the risk of developing allergies, but you cannot make allergy-proof products. It is often the concentration of a substance that determines whether it can be allergenic.
Some drugs are known to induce allergies even in very low concentrations. These substances are not used in products bearing TexCare's Allergy label. This means that there is no such thing as perfume, optical white, nickel and chromium in declared products, and that the preservatives used have been tested for allergens.
The declarations do not mean that you cannot develop allergies to some of the ingredients, as in principle you can develop allergies to all substances, including natural products. However, the declaration ensures that substances not known to be particularly allergy-causing have been used and the substances are found in concentrations that minimise the risk of allergies.
Today, it is not allowed to declare a product as 'allergy tested', as an allergy test does not give the consumer any real certainty. The problems with allergy testing are that it is very difficult to establish rules on how products should be tested in order for the result to be used for anything.
Each type of product must be tested in different ways according to the scope of the products.
Some products must be tested for many years before the allergy risk can be effectively assessed.
TexCare uses experts in the field when it comes to declarating products. If substances known to be allergenic and/or substances in concentrations considered risky from an allergenic point of view occur, the product will not be labelled with the TexCare Allergy label.
TexCare Allergy Brand has the importance that there is a lot of work in the assessment of the individual product. The labelling system has been in the interests of consumers throughout the years of its existence.
NOTE: ACCORDING TO THE ASTHMA ALLERGY ASSOCIATION, ONLY PRODUCTS THAT DO NOT CONTAIN PERFUME CAN BE LABELED: "PREVENTS ALLERGIES".
