NEA first created the Seal of Acceptance in 2008 to make it easier for people with eczema or sensitive skin to find suitable personal care products. In the years since, the Seal has continued to evolve as new science emerges about eczema, ingredients and formulations.
For a product to obtain the Seal, it must meet the strict standards established by our Scientific Oversight Committee – a panel of leading dermatologists, allergists and eczema experts – and undergo testing for sensitivity, irritation and toxicity, as well as a review of ingredients and formulation data.
In 2023, the Committee updated the Seal criteria and created the Ecz-clusion List of ingredients that won’t be allowed in any amount. As always, when you see the Seal, you can be sure the product meets the highest standards and has undergone rigorous testing and scientific review.
Our goal is not only to help you find eczema-friendly products, it’s also to drive manufacturers to do better, creating products that are free of known allergens and irritants. You can find personal care and household products with the Seal in the Eczema Product Directory – and check back regularly for new additions. Keep in mind that eczema is different for everyone and a product that works for one may not work for another, or even for the same person over time.
