ACDS CAMP - Contact Allergen Management Program

CAMP (contact allergy management program) is a database provided by the American Contact Dermatitis Society (ACDS) which is designed to help patients with allergic contact dermatitis find personal care products that are free of the ingredients that are causing their allergic reactions. Each list generated is personalized for the patient. The list is not exhaustive, but is an excellent starting point for patients to find products that will relieve their allergic reactions.

The CAMP app is designed to allow patients to carry their own personalized list of up to 5000 "safe" products on their phone in an easy-to-use and sort format. The CAMP app makes shopping for allergen-free products simple!

In order to use the CAMP app, patients must first obtain their individualized "safe" product list and user ID codes from a participating ACDS physician.

The CAMP app is designed to access the CAMP database so that the patient’s safe product list is displayed on their phone. The list can then be sorted by product type, brand name or product name. There is also a search function to help search for products using specific criteria. Favorite products can be chosen and displayed. The app also displays a list of specific allergens which the patient needs to avoid.

Reviews

A Must-Have
PetticoatCommando

This app is priceless! I am so grateful for it, but there is some room for improvement. Mainly, I’d like to see more brands added.


Wonderful

This app has been such a wonderful addition to my iPhone. Who can carry around a 500+ page notebook around with them, every time they need to purchase a household or beauty product? No one!!! With the ACDS CAMP App, that huge notebook is categorized into easily found and extremely helpful lists of allergy tested and safe products. There could be improvements, such a list of all brands that may have been tested, so that consumers don’t wonder if maybe the brand wasn’t tested. Also, I would like to see a “Date Updated” notations, to know how old the list is.


More user friendly for shopping

This app needs to incorporate a scanner so you can just scan items while shopping or while going through products you already have in your household. It takes forever to use and you should be alerted of when new products are added.


Search functions need upgrade
listgr

Would be so much easier to add a barcode scanner in the search function. Also seems occasionally my resulting matches can vary depending on which search function I use.


Convenient
Redvelvetcake7

Great app because I now have a solid list of products I can use. However I wish it would have a barcode scanner search function to make shopping easier. Also, in the search function, sometimes the letters don’t appear while I’m typing in the search bar so I’m not sure if I misspelled something until I hit search. Kind of annoying.


Scan option
Gdub#2

It would be super helpful to be able to scan a product with a smart phone, using the bar code. This could provide a quick alternative to searching through lists of ingredients and products. It could simply categorize the product as safe to use or unsafe, based on the user’s personalized allergic concerns.


Extremely confusing, do not recommend.
skippy942

This app is extremely confusing. Sometimes with brands it doesn’t say anything at all and there are a lot of brands it doesn’t even have. I looked at every single product I use and a lot of them didn’t have my allergies in the ingredients. But when I went on the app it’s not on the list of things I can use. It doesn’t make any sense and has been no help to me whatsoever. I spent hours looking at the ingredients in my products just to find the bottles telling me one thing and the app telling me another.


Incomplete data
Roko

The full data set doesn’t appear to be loading. For example, the laundry detergents stop at the letter D. This is even after refreshing the data by dragging down on the home screen of the app.


Search Text is Invisible
Stuartjp

The app is amazing and I am thankful for it, however a few months ago the text that I type in the search box is invisible.


❤️ Love/Like Relationship ?
Bethnapp

I kinda LIKE this app. It’s helped me grab a select few items that I can use without an allergic reaction. I like the ease of looking through items while at the store. ? I would LOVE this app if it were a updated more frequently. More top line beauty supply items would be awesome! (Stila, L’ange, Pureology, OPI....to name a few.) ??? My main concerns... *All of my Household Cleaning category only goes to the letter E. ? *They took all P&G products out, according to an email response, because they couldn’t confirm ingredients. Most items available in popular stores are made by P&G.....? *Products change frequently and are not updated on the app for more than a year in some cases. How do you know if the item you’re using is truly safe or if it’s a new formula? ??‍♀️ *Doctors pay for this service and then in turn charge us. It should be a bit more reliable.?
