Intro: The Comforting Word That Doesn’t Mean What You Think
“Hypoallergenic.”
It sounds safe.
Medical.
Trustworthy.
Unfortunately…
it doesn’t mean much.
The Hypoallergenic Problem
There is:
no legal definition
no standard testing
no required allergen exclusions
A product can be labeled hypoallergenic and still contain:
fragrance
nut oils
essential oils
botanical allergens
Why People Trust the Label Anyway
Because it sounds medical.
But real safety comes from ingredient selection — not labels.
What Actually Matters for Sensitive Skin
Look for:
✔ short ingredient lists
✔ fragrance-free
✔ nut-free
✔ gluten-free (for lips/eyes)
✔ allergen-aware formulation
✔ barrier-supportive ingredients
Why Ingredient Transparency Wins
Knowing what’s inside is more important than what the label claims.
Your skin doesn’t read marketing.
It reacts to molecules.
Final Thought
Hypoallergenic is a comfort word.
Allergen-safe is a science.
Choose science.
