For most of these people, triggers are found indoors: in bedrooms, on floors, in the air passing through filters, and in products brought home with no way to know if they help or harm.

Every dot is a piece of the country. One in three people lives with asthma, allergies or both, in every state.

Why trust the mark

More than a label. A scientific standard.

Unlike generic “hypoallergenic” claims, which have no legal definition, every product bearing the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® mark has been independently tested against strict scientific standards.

Independent laboratory testing

Every product is tested by an accredited, independent lab, not the manufacturer. Our scientists review every result before certification is granted.

Strict scientific standards

46 testing standards across 17 categories, developed with allergists, immunologists and environmental scientists. Standards are public and regularly updated.

AAFA medical oversight

AAFA’s Medical Scientific Council reviews each standard, ensuring the mark stays clinically meaningful.

“Every brand says ‘hypoallergenic’ and none of them explain what that means. The certification mark is the one thing on the shelf that comes with actual testing behind it, so that’s what I shop for now.”

“From the beginning, you’ve been incredibly collaborative, helpful in making sure we understood what the certification represents and how to communicate it responsibly.”
