Each year, we recognize National Allergy Awareness Week—a time to spotlight the realities millions face every day while living with allergic conditions. This week isn't just about statistics—it's about people, their daily challenges, and how we can support them through greater awareness and understanding.
Did You Know?
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America:
- Nearly 28 million people in the U.S. have asthma
- Around 20 million live with food allergies
- Over 81 million experience rhinitis due to nasal allergies
- Around 16.5 million adults and 8 million children in the U.S. have eczema
More Than Just Symptoms
Asthma, allergies, eczema, and related conditions aren’t always visible—but they can have a significant emotional, social, and financial impact. These conditions shape daily routines, social choices, and even how people engage with the world around them.
Why Awareness Matters
One of the hardest parts for many people living with allergies is feeling misunderstood.
Trying a new product. Ordering at a restaurant. Being offered a scented lotion. These might seem simple moments to most—but for someone with allergies or sensitivities, they can be a source of anxiety, stress, or even danger.
It’s not about being “picky” or “overly cautious”—it’s about safety. Awareness and empathy go a long way in creating a world where people don’t have to apologize for protecting their health.
How We Can Help
Let’s take this time to educate ourselves, listen, and advocate. When we validate these experiences and take allergies seriously, we help make the world safer, more inclusive, and less stressful for everyone.
At No Nothing, we’re proud to create fragrance-free, dermatologist-developed products that support people with allergies, sensitivities, and skin conditions. We believe no one should have to compromise between safety and self-care.
If our products have made a difference in your life, we’d love to hear from you.
Leave a review or share your experience to help us continue spreading awareness and making safe, effective hair care more accessible. Your story could help someone else find relief and confidence, too.
