Allergy Best Buys Discount Code, Offers & Deals July 2025

Buying gloves to wear indoors is the kind of Google search that starts out apologetically. Maybe you’ve been scratching. Maybe your doctor said "contact dermatitis" and you nodded like you already knew what that was. Maybe you’ve reached the part of the internet where bamboo and cotton are being seriously discussed in relation to glove softness. You’re not alone. Life with contact allergies - from hand eczema to dust mite sensitivity - isn’t glamorous, but it’s something more and more people are managing daily. Not with miracle cures or TikTok hacks. With cotton gloves. Unscented laundry powder. A reliable shielding lotion that doesn’t leave your hands feeling slimy or smell like a car air freshener. The pragmatism is oddly reassuring. A handful of brands actually seem to know what they’re doing. Allergy Best Buys is one of them.

AllergyBestBuys: Calm, Useful, Not Trying to Be Cool

The site doesn’t dazzle. It doesn’t need to. Its aesthetic is best described as "functional 2008." What it does offer is a curated selection of products for people whose skin is tired of trial and error - from shielding lotions and chemical-free hair products to organic cotton bedding and unscented laundry powder nobody will ever compliment you on (that’s okay). Prices are on the reasonable end of the specialist spectrum, and there’s free UK shipping on orders over £60. That doesn’t apply to international orders, so if you’re not UK-based, add a little margin for postage. Returns are straightforward, though not generous - 14 days for a refund, items unused.

The Gloves: Yes, You Probably Need These

The White Cotton Gloves for Adults with Eczema are the site's quiet bestseller. Starting at £5.95, they’re the kind of item you don’t expect much from - until you wear them at night and realise you’re not waking up from unconsciously scratching your hands against the pillow. They’re made from soft, breathable cotton, entirely unscented, and machine-washable, though they’ll shrink slightly unless you treat them kindly. They’re sold in pairs, though given the price it’s wise to grab a couple sets; nobody wants to go digging through laundry for gloves at 11pm.

The more sustainable-seeming variant - Adults' Bamboo Gloves for Eczema - starts at £4.72 (down from £10.95 in what looks like a quietly ongoing sale). They’re slightly stretchier and less clinical in feel. If the cotton gloves are your skin’s long-suffering assistant, the bamboo gloves are more like your tactile therapist. They feel gentler, but they don’t last quite as long.

Contact Allergy Relief, One Lotion at a Time

Alongside the gloves is a selection of shielding lotions like Gloves In A Bottle, starting at just £1.50 for a small trial size. That’s refreshingly un-hyped pricing for a product with a loyal following. It forms a sort of invisible barrier on the skin, which lasts through multiple hand washes - in theory. In practice, it works fairly well, although it won’t survive a day of frequent sanitiser use unscathed. You can also try the slightly pricier Botanical Hand Shielding Lotion, down to £9.95 from £19.90. It contains aloe vera and is about as 'botanical' as a product can be without smelling like crushed pinecones. Importantly, there’s no synthetic fragrance. Or "natural" fragrances masquerading as harmless lavender oil bombs.

Hair Products for People Who Read Ingredient Lists

The haircare offerings are chemical and fragrance-free - not to be confused with "unscented", which sometimes just means they put a different kind of fragrance in. The hair spray, mousse, gel and calming serum all hover around the £15.95 mark, which might be hard to swallow until you’ve tried buying fragrance-free hair products that don’t feel like applying diluted glue. These aren’t luxurious, but they do their jobs without triggering your scalp or your sinuses. Not a small win.

Violet’s Unscented Laundry and Why Clean Shouldn’t Smell

Then there’s Violet’s - a brand for people who long ago accepted that their laundry doesn’t need to smell like synthetic woodland mist. The Unscented Laundry Liquid starts at £5.95, and the 100% Natural Unscented Laundry Powder clocks in at £17.95, depending on size. Neither will leave your sheets perfumed, which is the point. The Oxygen Mineral Bleach at £15.50 will safely whiten your whites without chlorine compounds or optical brighteners (those things that make fabrics look cleaner than they are). It's perfect for anyone who’s allergic to marketing as well as surfactants.

For Pets You Love But Can’t Physically Be Near

If your immune system responds to your cat with the same vigour it might apply to a viral invasion, there’s PetalCleanse. It’s £12.95 per bottle, depending on which species you’re hoping to co-exist with. You apply it to your pet’s fur to remove allergens without bathing them - simpler than reasonings with cats, slightly more awkward with horses. Still, it's one of the few pet-allergy products that treats the problem at the fur level rather than just medicating you and hoping for the best.

The Bottom Line: No Glamour, Just Relief

Nothing on AllergyBestBuys is designed to win design awards or go viral. The entire site feels like it was built for one quiet purpose: to help people get through the day without flaring up or itching through their sheets. It’s not fancy. But neither is eczema. It’s comforting to find a retailer that doesn’t pretend sensitivity is an aesthetic. That deals in practicality more than promises. And that sends gloves to your door with a kind of clinical matter-of-factness that quietly says, "we get it." That alone is worth a modest bookmark.
