Is Bathroom & Shower Cleaner allergy, asthma and sensitive skin friendly?Updated a day ago
TL;DR: For most sensitive households, yes. Bathroom & Shower Cleaner is Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia, Dermatest tested for skin compatibility, and recognised by the Eczema Association of Australasia. It is fragrance-free, pH 8, and contains no aerosol propellants, no chlorine bleach and no phosphates. Those three are the approvals it holds. It is not Allergy UK accredited, and it is not a medical product, so if someone in the home has severe asthma or a diagnosed chemical sensitivity, check the ingredient list against their known triggers first.
Is Bathroom & Shower Cleaner allergy, asthma and sensitive skin friendly?
✓ Sensitive Choice approved
Approved by Sensitive Choice, the programme run by the National Asthma Council Australia, which reviews household products against criteria designed to reduce respiratory triggers. Approved products avoid aerosol propellants and strong fragrances.
✓ Dermatest tested
Independently tested by Dermatest for skin compatibility. The pH 8 formula is milder than conventional bathroom cleaners, which are often strongly acidic or strongly alkaline. Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) is included as a skin-friendly ingredient.
✓ Eczema Association recognised
Recognised by the Eczema Association of Australasia. A considered pick for households managing eczema, dermatitis or ongoing skin sensitivities. Wear gloves for prolonged cleaning sessions and rinse any accidental skin contact with water.
⚠ What we don't claim
Sensitive Choice, Dermatest and the Eczema Association of Australasia are the approvals this product holds, and the only ones we claim for it. Bathroom & Shower Cleaner is not Allergy UK accredited. It is not a medical product and it is not a treatment for asthma, allergy or any skin condition. No cleaning product suits every person, so check the ingredient list against known triggers before first use.
What is in it, and what is left out?
✓ What is in it
Twelve ingredients at pH 8, close to neutral. Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) is included as a skin-friendly ingredient. The full INCI list is published, so you can check it against personal sensitivities. Made in Australia.
✓ What is left out
No added fragrance, so nothing perfumed to react to. No aerosol propellants. No chlorine bleach. No phosphates. No benzalkonium chloride. If you want a scent, you add it yourself and control the dose.
How should I clean if someone in the home is sensitive?
✓ Habits that reduce exposure
Ventilate during and after. Open a window or run the extractor fan. Moving air keeps airborne droplets from lingering.
Wear gloves. Rubber or nitrile for prolonged cleaning. Rinse any accidental skin contact with water.
Clean while they are out of the room. Even with a gentle product, removing the person from the environment is the safest step.
Rinse and dry. Rinse thoroughly and let surfaces dry fully before anyone showers.
Sensitive Choice approved, Dermatest tested, Eczema Association recognised. Twelve ingredients, pH 8, fragrance-free, made in Australia.
