ALLERGY LABEL®
The Allergy Label means that the product meets the allergy criteria. Products with the Allergy label do not contain perfumes or generally sensitizing or irritating substances or materials.
Luonkos products are the largest product family containing forest microbes that have been granted an allergy label.
"Urbanized lifestyle, environment and the resulting
lack of contact with nature reduces the versatility of the human microbiome and affects the immune regulation and our general mood. Health can be promoted by strengthening people's connection with diverse nature."
"Microbes in nature improve resistance and immune system
function and prevent symptoms and diseases caused by disorders of the immune system. Human is not so much an "individual" as a complex ecosystem with at least as many microbes as its own cells. According to the WHO, this may be the
most crucial advances in understanding health in recent years."
The Allergy Label is granted by the Finnish Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation on the basis of impartial testing.
