Sensitive Choice is a National Asthma Council program, that is committed to helping people live better with asthma and allergies. Our blue butterfly trademark helps people find products and services that are asthma and allergy friendly. Only products that have passed a stringent application process, rigorous review and have proven their potential to benefit people with asthma and allergies can be Sensitive Choice approved. All product submissions for Sensitive Choice approval undergo independent testing and are reviewed by a panel of experts, including experts like an allergist, chemical engineer, immunologist, GP and pharmacist.
Products that are Sensitive Choice approved can help minimise the impacts of common asthma and allergy triggers in your home. Even for households without these extra sensitivities, using a product that has our Sensitive Choice approval can help you create a healthier, safer environment.
Things like dust mites, pollens, mould, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are common triggers. It is important to know your triggers so you can try to prevent and mitigate their impacts in your home.
Whether you are building, renovating, or just looking to spruce up your home, it is important to make a ‘sensitive choice’ when choosing the products you use in your house. Sensitive Choice has a range of approved products and services that can improve all areas of the home. From your bedroom to the kitchen, in your laundry space and even the garden, we have the resources and tips to show you how to create a healthy home.
